Pioneer 17 Pin Connector

[Andrew Wise]

Does anybody have a pinout for a Pioneer proprietary 17 pin cable. I am trying to output video from an iPhone 5c. What i would like to do is take an Apple to HDMI adapter, connect sound and video out from the HDMI adapter to the 17 pin Pioneer cable. Is this possible? Will the AVIC accept a digital video signal?

i did a quick google search and there are a few vids on youtube on how to bypass the handbreak ect for display boards ect. but cant seem to find a pin layout.

That would work, but if there was a pin out, i could in theroy build a pioneer 17 pin cable to VGA? Does the AVIC series accept digital video? Or does it strictly take an analog video signal?

You are making it way too complicated, what are you trying to do exactly? Just using your iPhone 5 to play videos on your Headunit? You need that kit to make your iPhone 5 even compatible to play videos on that headunit...there is also a firmware update if you go that route...the easiest and cheapest way to play videos is through a thumb drive...
