Connecting Ipod to Eclipse 8053 Head unit
Connecting Ipod to Eclipse 8053 Head unit
Im looking for the cable to connect my Ipod to the eclipse head unit. The headunit comes with an input for mp3 players but im not sure which cable connects to this. I think there is a generic cable possibly called a mini plug? or something... Any input would be appreciated and where i can get this cable....
I know that i dont need to connect through the cd changer input or the digital input...i think...
Also, since this input plug is only one wire, will i lose stereo and fading capabilities? Also, since i will be most likely using the ipod to control the music, will i lose my EQ settings from the headunit or will i need to use the EQ controls on the IPOD...which suck...
Thanks in advance...

the connector that the eclipse unit has is indeed a mini plug also known as an 1/8" stereo male plug. you should be able to go to Radioshack etc... and get one. you will ask for a 1/8" mini to 1/8" mini with male connectors on both ends.
