Just picked up a new Kenwood DDX512, i like the ipod control that comes with the stock radio, is there any way to keep it? The kenwood comes with one but i cant control it through the radio like the stock pioneer

can someone let me know if this possible

with some HUs there is an an accessory you can buy. i have no idea what it is and what it works on, so.... this was pretty much a pointless post

In case you're still looking, there are a couple of items you can get. One I can't remember the name of (sorry) and the other is made by PAC:

Also, you could check out crutchfield.com and choose your stereo then click the accessories link. When I did a search on the AVIC-D3 it brought up the appropriate part.

Edit: I just re-read your post. Now I'm not sure if you meant the steering wheel controls or just an actual on-stereo ipod control. If it's the wheel controls follow the above advice. If it's the other, then I'm not certain. Best bet would be to call Kenwood's CS. Good luck.

My Pioneer premier stereo is IPOD ready & I can control it with the head Unit.. You just hook up the IPOD with the supplies cable & toss it in your glove box.. Are you sure you cannot do that with this new kenwood?? Did you read thru your Kenwood book?? Did you get a IPOD conection cable with it??? jh I just checked crutchfield for you... Looks like your particular HU needs this cable...

The pictures shows the plug for the IPOD, then goes into 2 seperate plugs..1 for USB & another 1/8" mini stereo jack for AUX........Both have to be plugged in for your IPOD to play thru your HU.. & thanks to xserverences's link....... scroll to page 31 & you'll see just what you want to do.... good luck... jh
