Ipod Pie Interface

**mondo** · March 1st, 2006 07:48 PM

i just bought this cool gadget. had to go to their head office to have it installed (for free). according to the store i got it from, it'll definitely work. if it doesn't, i could return it.

it didn't work. they said they have to contact the supplier sa states to ask if ano pwede gawin. anyone here using the same gadget? help needed... i really wanna use my ipod sa car directly.

clarion head unit, suzuki jimny 2006, i don't want to use a crappy itrip.

help please...

or is anyone here selling ano old (pero gumagana) na cd changer? na super mura? basta square yung plug... please message back. thanks...

IPOD PIE (Precision Inteface Electonics) interface: its basically a device that can supposedly seamless integrate your iPod with your HU, provided that the HU has CD-changer controls.

Teka, the PIE interface is supposed to work only on Ford, Audi. VW and Honda vehicles - iba-iba pa pin requirement sa HU per vehicle.

So...I'm wondering wht your dealer told you that it would work just fine on your Suzuki Jimmy (Clarion HU)? Check if what number of pins your changer/din has : 8, 10, 12, 16 or 24.

yeah, nakalagay dun for clarion HU. so silly me bought it. sigh. still waiting word from them. sana maayos na since i'll be driving to tagytay, hoping to be able to play my ipod.

Mondo, curious lang - ano specifically ang naging problem? curious talaga ako kasi ang alam ko talaga eh wala pang PIE model for suzuki vehicles. However, I could be wrong. May harness na ba ang PIE for Suzuki vehicles?

Did you check out the PDXP iPod2Car adaptor? Universal kasi yun - kahit anong HU basta may CD changer. Nga lang, I think the harness for the vehicle is sold separately.

Yep, the PIE interface needs a CD changer else it won't workl. Napaka irresponsible naman ng dealer mo - hindi sinabi sa 'yo na wala kailangan ng CD changer yung PIE at wala pang vehicle harness an PIE na pang Suzuki. Anyway, yung harness eh madaling gawan paraan. Yakang-yakang i-hack yan ng magaling mag-audio setup.

Mondo, yung Clarion HUs at CD changers eh dito sa 'Pinas assembled. May showroom may Banawe at sa may 5th Ave. sa Caloocan. Try mo tawagan tong dalawang number na ito: 732-8010 or 732-8012. Bigay mo series/model number ng HU mo para makahanap sila ng match na CD changer.

Good luck.
