All -

Just got my Neo in the mail this weekend, and I'm about to do the install. Question:

The Neo has RCA inputs on it, but the kit didn't include RCA cables. I'm assuming the audio connectors are included in the dock connector, and that the RCA inputs are redundant? Otherwise I need to go pickup a long RCA cable before I get everything pulled apart.

Anyone out there that can tell me if I need to go do that?

thanks!

Just installed mine about 2 weeks ago. It's got some annoying control issues, but it's sooo much better than using an FM transmitter, cassette adapter, or some other kludgy fix.

My understanding is that the RCA jacks are for an additional input. You definitely don't need RCA cables to install the Neo & iPod. If yours is the same as mine (I went with the dock cable, rather than a cradle), you should have received:

1 - a short cable with rectangular connectors which goes from the head unit to the Neo box.
2 - the Neo box
3 - a thicker cable with 1 round and 1 rectangular connector which goes from the Neo box to the Dension IceLink.
4 - the Dension IceLink
5 - iPod dock cable which goes from the IceLink to your iPod

That's all you need. The install is easy. Took me a little over an hour total and half of that was fighting with one particularly stubborn climate control connector.

 

Thanks!
