Tap that and the image should appear. Ok, after you have the app working on your iPhone look on the screen of the DDX719 and you’ll see an icon that looks like an iPod.

I also really appreciate the new pictures. Hopefully I'll get my install done at some point. Part of my desire to proceed with this was from the info you have supplied. I didn't realize how much trouble it can be to order a part! Too bad I live much further to the north (North Dakota) otherwise I would have rather been a customer of yours!

Unfortunately searching the other parts doesn't specify which side. If I have my installer do everything but the panels, will it be difficult to go back and later install the panels? I understand they will likely require some modification. Would I be correct in presuming I'd likely have to unbolt the box to put the panels in?

We've ordered the same parts now 3 times and comments made previously by another blog reader confirms they were correct and a big help. Maybe the wrong part was sent? Try matching the stamped number on the inside of the part to what I posted on the blog. Don’t know how that could be.

How do you advertise it? It offers a nice individual twist on things. I guess having something authentic or substantial to talk about is the most important thing.

But for the album art, video and full control of App modes etc on the newer units and last year's unit, you need the Pioneer cable. Another you can use though is Kenwood. Kenwood makes the same cable for less and it's longer. KCA-iP202. It helps! For audio you can use any iPod cable.

Technically, the bad reviews here are correct: You don't actually need this cable to use your iPod/iPhone with your Pioneer HU. If you were sitting on the fence like I was about buying it though, read on: I do agree with the one star reviews that the cable is too short for what it costs. It is possible to extend it with both a regular USB extension cable and a mini-jack cable extender, but of course you have to buy those. So I knocked off a couple stars for that because this thing should be longer for what you pay. However, there are 3 things you need to know about using the USB cable that comes with your HU over this one with an iPod/iPhone: 1) Without this cable, you have to plug two cables in to your iPod/iPhone the dock connector, and a standard mini-audio cable. With this cable you only need to plug in the dock connector. Minor detail but if it's something you are going to use every time you get in the car you'll find one connection better than two over time, I assure you. 2) You need this cable to get video from your iPod/iPhone. If you care about video at all, then this is your only choice. One review mentions the video quality is so-so but I did not find that to be the case as with all videos on iPods/iPhones the source is everything and good quality videos looked perfectly fine to me; I'll agree that the Pioneer HU doesn't go a great job with marginal sources compared to other displays but that isn't the fault of the cable. 3) And most importantly as G. Ledesma points out in his review with this cable, you get line-level audio out, where with the USB cable/mini-jack you get audio that's amplified once already by the iPod/iPhone itself. Don't brush this detail off! Having listened to both, same music, same player, I can tell you that you don't need to be an audiophile with the ears of a teenager to hear the difference. It is pretty significant, especially with music that's already lower-quality (like tracks purchased from iTunes prior to 2009). For this reason alone I found the cable to be a necessary purchase. In short, while yes it is pricey, and you can control and listen to your music without it, you are going to want it anyway. I mean, not to defend Pioneer, but it is kind of a niche item they don't mass-produce, and frankly if you own an iPod/iPhone you already paid a premium for a product, so what's another few bucks for a cable? If it were longer I'd give it 5 stars, but that's it's only real fault.
