ESSENTIALLY?... LOL. You mean the one just like that one, that costs $45 less and doesn't say "MONSTER CABLE" on it... right? :fawk:

I have an Eclipse Audio deck that has inputs on it. I know that Alpine decks have a button combo that allows the audio inputs to work, but I also lost my manual and have no idea what buttons I have to push to make the my inputs active.

I've already tried ^^vv<><>baba[sel][start]... I wasn't born yesterday. Didn't work.

They're clearly marked audio input, so I don't know wtf? Sorry I'm not more help. I'm just going to eventually do away with the head unit and just run the ipod straight to my crossover and amps. Screw the deck. Who needs it? Save 3 lbs.

If you have to have a deck, Alpine has some head units that control the ipod. worth checking out.
