Eonon issue

[smugsley]

Anyone know the best way to play music from my iPhone through the eonon 2210 head deck? It has a plug for an iPod but doesn't recoginise the iPhone

bluetooth?

[Macca]

bluetooth audio sounds horrid.

I bet it has USB audio, not Ipod audio

[smugsley]

Yeah there is a USB but it says you can't plug the iPhone charger thing in it. It does have two RCA in plugs, I was thinking RCA to 3.5mm adapter plug straight into the top of the phone? Will it work but hahah

[Ayu452]

its an iphone...there lies your problem lol

[Macca]

Iphones are awesome

yes the 3.5mm to 2 rca will work

[filofaith]

even tho it says not supported it shud still play the music just wont charge it...

+1 iPhones are awesome, so keen for the new one. Stupid Optus.

iPhone/iPod Touch have different software/OS whatever you want to call it to traditional iPods. There are not a huge amount of unit's that will completely integrate with them. That is the main reason I didn't but an Eonon a couple months ago. My wife's Sony single DIN is the closest I have found to have full compatibility.
It can "communicate" with the iPhone OS for audio playback via USB, but not for handsfree which is probably the only thing I would love to see it be able to do... it does confuse it a little having it plugged in to charge it as well as having it paired over BT at the same time.

Looking at the specs page (http://b2b.eonon.com/details.aspx?pro_id=993&product_no=D2210) the features to me are very contradictory of what it can and cannot do in regards with interfacing to audio devices...

Yeah I know but its just so cheap lol. If worse comes to worse and I cant play music from my phone I have a ipod and it plays DVD's so I will just burn a shit load of music onto one of those and listen to it from there. Still I love playing around with these things to try and make them work, definately giving a go what filofaith says and see if the standard ipod plug will play it but not charge it

bluetooth is fm quality afaik

FYI - fm is slightly inferior to mp3 at 128 kbit/s CBR

also, mp3 also doesn't support any frequencies below 16hz so they are audiophile fail

[smugsley]

Thats alright, I will still be running stock speakers for a while anyway so anything below 16hz is very unreachable anyway lol

yeh, for the record, i'm a dj and audiophile, run an eonon on the stock speakers, sometimes run it thru bluetooth on the iphone when i have new tunes that i havent burnt yet

if you arent planning on cruising chapel st/fortitude valley/northbridge/the cross with your doof doof and 15 mates hanging out your window then i dont see the point in big stereos
the colts cabin is so noisy, it ruins any chance of a decent listening environment :)

[bunnybash]

Alba totally agree with you, cars are not the place to seek audio nirvana

[smugsley]

Especially considering that amounts of noises that seem to fill the voids of the Rcolts every nook and crany
