iPod USB Cable: The KCU-440i allows you to connect your Apple iPod to select 2009 USB iPod/iPhone compatible Alpine head units. The KCU-440i consists of a 6.5' USB cable terminated by a male USB type-A connector on one end, which plugs into your compatible Alpine head unit's USB port, and a female USB type-A connector on other end, which plugs into the included 8" iPod dock connector cable. The iPod dock connector cable features a male USB type-A connector on one end and an iPod dock connector on other end to connect your iPod. There is no hideaway box to deal with as with many other iPod adapters.

iPod Compatibility: The Alpine KCU-440i can be used to interface a compatible Alpine receiver to select iPods with a dock connector. The cable gives you full control and full sound at full speed. You can quickly and easily search through all of the music contained on your iPod through Playlist, Artist, Album or Song searches. You can view Artist, Album, Song Information and Song Number right on the head unit's display. The cable will also power the iPod and charge the battery.

Alpine Head Unit Compatibility: The KCU-440i is compatible with select 2009 Alpine head units that support USB iPod/iPhone connection. Once the adapter is connected, the iPod appears on the head unit's display as a selectable source. Current compatible head units include the Alpine CDA-105 and CDA-117.

Super-Fast USB Connection: With USB connection, your iPod's large music libraries are loaded instantly through your compatible Alpine head unit. Sound quality is maximized by using USB along with your head unit's D/A converter, allowing for a Signal to Noise ratio up to 105dB.

With so many ways to listen to thousands of songs, now you can get fast access to Playlists, Artists, Albums, Songs, Genres, Podcasts, and Composers.
