Hooking up an iPod to Pioneer deck

Hey there, well I just picked up and iPod and tried to hook it up with a standard headphone to RCA cable into the Aux port in the back of my P7500MP (Pioneer) deck. I then select the Aux function from the deck and start playing the iPod but I can barely hear it coming out of the speakers no matter how loud I turn up both of the units and it stays at the same quiet volume no matter how much I change it. I don't want the poor sound quality from a trasmitter or the expensive way by buying a $120 modulator thing that I hear works like crap. I'm hoping that there is a solution out there that costs less than $50. Anyone know?

Hmmmm. Thats kind of weird. I have a Sony Xplod deck and i did exactly the same as you! I just went to radioshack and bought a iPod to RCA cable for 6 dollars and plugged it into my deck  through the AUX input. I couldnt change the songs from the deck but I did get awesome sound. CD quality infact...

Input jack on the 7500? I dont remeber this deck having and aux input. Are you using the module to switch the changer input from the bus cable to rca's or how are you acomplishing this. double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

I agree, to my knowledge Pioneer doesn't have an AUX input for their decks.

I am basically willing to bet money on this. I mean I have been dealing them for 5 years now and cant ever remeber the 7 series having aux input without the external conversion box. If the poster does have that box it could be a defective box or a defective set of cables.double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

Well, i guess I don't know if it's exactly an input jack, but there's 3 RCA hookups in the back and I have one set running to a sub. I don't have any modules and I was hoping that I'd be able to avoid that cost but kinda sounds like I might have to go get one.

You are trying to send a signal into an output which could potentially damage both the deck and the ipod. UNPLUG THAT NOW. the module is like 50 bucks canadain so you sould be able to get it down there for not a ton of money and then you will be good to go.double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

Do you guys know which one that I'd need to get?

Are you saying that the converter is $ 50 or the CD-IB100 is $ 50 ?

What you need is model number CDR-B10.  It retails for 34.99 in the US but you may get it cheaper online.  Then just use the cheap cable you got and you should be OK.Muscle Cars Don't Just Look Good, But They Can Sound Good Too...
