Hi Guys,
i have installed Kenwood DDX8017 and the Kenwood iPod adaptor, it works, every thing looks fine so far, but there is a little tiny problem, i cant brows all my play list nor Albums it just gives me MAX of 10 Discs!! D10 i mean.. consider the adaptor is iPod READY and capable! it doesnt seemed it is! guys any hints to brows all my Play List or Albums or Singers! i mean ALL of them NOT only first 10 of each type.

Thanks Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeers

 

I have the same kit. you either create playlists in i tunes or unplug the ipod from the adapter and make your selection hit play and plug it back in. I use shuffle 99% of the time. I was also a bit dissappointed too, but I have close to 4000 songs in my glove box and it beats using a fm adapter.

 

Yep, I have the Alpine interface, and while I can browse artists, albums, and playlists, it takes forever, and I don't have the patience to go through 5000 + songs. I usually create playlists or I unplug my iPod, select what I want, then plug it back in. I'm considering getting a Nano, so I can just put like 300 songs on there, and use the shuffle feature. I wish you could make playlists and use the shuffle feature, just in that playlist!

 

NEAT!! in my opinion THE Adaptor is WORTHLESS!

any way thanks guys for help

The sound quality is not "worthless"!!

 

well i guess it the same with me as long i have only 4 speakers, and all y MP3s is 192Kbps (Bit Rate) so burn them into a CD or a DVD that would works! special when i catogorize them in my own order ..

 

aggravating but not worthless , have you heard the fm adapter and the sound quality it gives ?

 

Yeah i tried this iTrip thing... the sound quality is nothing compared to Kenwood coz of the FM interfering frequencies and static... i admit it the sound quality is awesome... even i almost live in my songs with the accurate sound output with the DSP featured option... but what i can SAY perfection is only for god

Cheers all

 

I talked with a kenwood rep a while back and they are trying to perfect the ipod adapter so it will do everything as quickly and as easy as the ipod does, he said possibly through the remote or with a click wheel of some sort of the face of the deck, and installing the parts into the deck is not the problem, it is getting the software to work with the deck, the ipod, the the ipod interface, and the fact that some ipods run on a windows format and some run on a mac format is another issue. so, it will only be a matter of time.
