Eclipse

Our take on the Eclipse iPC-709

The Eclipse iPC-709 cable adds iPod control to select DVD receivers from Eclipse, JVC, and Clarion. Once connected, you can access many of the iPod's functions with the controls on the stereo. Album title, artist name, or track information show up on the display of the receiver, so you'll be able to find the music you want quickly. Plus, you can play videos you've stored on your iPod while you're parked. The adapter will even charge your iPod while it's connected. Warranty: 1 year.

Compatibility Note: Be sure to check "Hands-on Research" for specific iPod model compatibility with this iPod adapter. The iPC-709 is compatible with various head units that offer iPod audio/video connection via USB, composite video, and stereo RCA. Give us a call (or identify your vehicle and car stereo) to see if it'll work in your system.

I could NOT find a cable to work with my 2011 Ford Edge My Sync to display video. I had no idea if it would work, but it did perfectly! This is THE ONLY place I found it. THANK YOU!
