hmmmmm, i just got a Pioneer AVIC and i had seperate Ip-Bus plugins... one for XM and the other for my ipod.
Good question though, i would assume you can only run one though...
You have an AUX input and you can just run the ipod to that... the only bad thing is that it won't charge your ipod.Last edited by Mralbino; 03-10-2008, 04:03 PM.

yea thats wut i was thinking. i like the feature of being able to change my ipod with my remote. i guess ill just keep running my sirius through my aux port i just wish that was on the back of the radio insted of the front. but i could upgrade to one with the extra ibuss portComment

any suggestions?Comment

So is your sirius EXternal right now?
Because when i had my Alpine, i had the XM extertal and it was wired through a FM transmittor (Which worked great btw) and i had my ipod connected to the back of the Alpine (Similar to the Pioneers and there IBus Cable)
I mean, for a Single Din i would just run the XM/Sirius externally. I never even liked controlling my ipod through the HU anyway, too much work. It would probably be even harder with the XM hooked up too.
But if you're looking to upgrade, AVIC-D3... Beatiful system. I have XM and my ipod hooked up, the system really is phenominal.Comment

ok yea its hooked up externaly right now run through my aux cable its workin fine i just though i would throw out the question. ive been wondering about that for a whileComment
-
Yeah... i would think it's pain in the ass to control XM through a Single Din HU, i never done it. But after controlling my ipod through a singlie din, i thought that was annoying and XM/Sirius would probably be the same.Comment

i love being able to control my ipod through my single dinComment

yes you can hook up both through the same port. on that little ipod box cd-ib100II or whatever its called. there are 2 ports on that one called ipod in one called ipod out. use whichever port isn't being used on that box, and you can hook up the ipod box and sat radio box in a series that way.Comment
-
oh really that would be niceComment
-
controlling ipord xm/sirius is cake on the pioneers. its not hard at all at least on my 6900ub. now for the ip bus u should have a open one on the ipod box itself.Comment

ok ill have to pull my ipod box out and check it outComment

You are correct. I have a Pioneer 980BT and it only has 1 ipbus. However I have my Sirius and Ipod adapter going thru it. The ipod adapter does have 2 ports (1 in, 1 out). When you have them both plugged up, the headunit just sees it as another input. it even has the name right. Example of Selections: Cd player, Ipod, Siruis, Tuner, Bluetooth Audio, and Telephone.
Pioneer and Alpine have the sat radio and ipod integration down.Comment

cool that works for me. i was hoping that it would work. cause im really tryin to make the interior of my car alittle more appealing. so you say that even if my sirus is plugged into my ipod box it will still read on there as another input?Comment

yessir...Alpine and Pioneer do things the right way.Comment
