i installed this clarion ipod adapter on my cmd4 hu. <BR><a href="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-lds64Cbv2mp/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?i=020CCAIPOD&amp;tp=120" target="_blank">http://www.crutchfield.com/S-lds64Cbv2mp/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?i=020CCAIPOD&amp;tp=120</a> <BR> <BR>here is the issue, the ipod recognizes it and charges, as well as the clarion logo shows up on the screen of the ipod. I for some reason can not get the damn head unit into cd changer mode, and the led power light on the adapter never comes on...what the hell?? I read the manual last night and i am lost.

I wonder if it's not compatible with that head unit, on the site it says it works with CMD4a but not the CMD4. I've go the same HU you do right not and am also looking for an integrated solution so if you get it to work let us know.

I got the CMD5 with that adapter and it is awesome. It doesn't work as a changer with that cable, it is direct access.

Is this adapter the best to run the Ipod. I bought a line source cable to plug into the back of the WS420 to run the Ipod, just have'nt installed anything yet. I bought a CMD5 to be installed and so I talked with the Clarion Marine Department. They said the CCA-Ipod was their best solution.

Zacharoo, <BR> <BR>I have the I-pod hook up and it is the best solution I could find. We love it. <BR> <BR>Allows Clarion remote display to search playlist/title/ etc... with song title readout on both my LCD remotes.

So what could be the prob?

I don't want to be a thread hijacker but I have a similar question? I have the cmd5, but I'm trying to run the Sirius and Ipod off the Cenet and can't get them working together. Can it be done or do I have to run Sirius off the ce-net and the Ipod off the aux? I would love to run both off of the ce-net if possible. The Sirius has a pass thru but the hu doesn't recognise the difference between the two.

I’m having problems with the Clarion Ipod adaptor also. I bought the Clarion M475 head unit and purchased a CCA-iPod cable to go with it. Installed the radio and plugged the CCA-iPod into the Cenet port and nothing. I bought another CCA-iPod cable, because I thought the first one might be bad…… still nothing. Sent the radio back for a new one. Installed new radio, hooked up CCA-iPod cable and radio still does not recognize Cenet cable or iPod. I give up!!!

mine recognizes both separately but not together.

CMD4 uses the EA1251B <BR>CMD4A &amp; CMD5 use the EA1276B <BR> <BR>The CCA-Ipod will work with the CMD4A (99% sure) $ CMD5

Smooth, you should have the EA1276 Cnet plugged into the Sirius, and then the Sirius plugged into the H/U. The Sat button should get you to the Sirius, and the Aux should get you the Ipod.
