After realizing that I've just wasted my time with this thing, I then bought those AiNet-to-RCA then hooked it up. Much better setup because I can. It sounds awesome when I play movies in my car!!

I just skipped the whole adapter and did the RCA conversion cable too since I heard navigating through the HU was a PITA. I'm happy with it and I'm glad I went with the Belkin charger amp which has it's own separate volume control to boost the iPod's signal to better match the output of a regular CD.

I was told to get cables with gold plated connectors but sound quality is more than what i've expected for just a regular ones. I've heard iPods with FM tuners..sound quality is acceptable and wireless makes it look cleaner but you still hear static noise especially when you're in the area that has a lots of powerlines.

Finally got the IP-Bus adapter hooked up and the Pioneer installed in the 4Runner. It sounds great! Now it's time to get rolling on that Infiniti Basslink II groupbuy...
