So alot of deck (mine included) can control the whole i pod fromt he touch screen, having not gotten hooked up yet or seen one i got a question...

If my i pod is hooked up to my deck can i use the deck to look at my pictures on my i pod? Can you do that while you are driving since it isnt a video?

thanks

Generally no. I have a Pioneer deck that has Ipod control, and you can't use the Ipod while it is connected.

I think he means view the pics on his Ipod on his in dash touch screen.
Maybe, my DVD player can do that from USB flash drive but we'd need to know what deck your talking about.

its the Kenwood DDX512.

Death is right. If i have pics on my ipod can get them to show up on my 6.1" touch screen?

IF yes... Would i be able to look at the pics while the car is being driven since it is not a video?

Nah - this function is controlled by the switch on the ebrake. Most people just loop the wires that go there anyway tho.

The question is, why would you want to? Is there such an urgent need to look at an image that it has to be done while you're driving? Sorry to sound like a safety nazi (which is really kind of funny when you consider that I'm German), but it just doesn't make sense to me to have this capability. Just my $.02.

Bragging rights. It's not that he needs it... its that he can say that his car can do it. The same principle as rich people getting a sports car that can do 180mph where in america can you get to 180? Its that fact that you can say "Mine can, yours cant"


And yes btw there is a company who makes an adapter to kick your ipod images to your touch screen.

Oh, yeah. There is that. Good use of a parallel to explain it, too.

could always go ahead and built a custom linux based carpc

could prolly build one all parts included for under $800 (thats high end)

then you can wirelessly send songs to your car, play movies from a hard drive, and wirelessly from say... your cell phone control stuff in your car through a relay setup.

for bragging rights... i think that one takes the cake over some lil touch screen unit.

"he guys, i forgot that in my car"

::hits a button on cell phone::

))door opens((

::friends gawk in awe::

"ok im good now"

lol

LOL I like the idea of being able to use my cell phone to open my doors, now that whould be awesome!

I dont have an urgent need to look at pics when i was driving, i was just wondering was all since i've never had one before, no its not for bragging rights... that what my custom satelite radio and amp placement are for:)

I will be making a new topic showing everything when i pick my baby up from the shop in a little bit:)
