Can I use this cord to connect my iPod directly to my car amp or does it have to go thru a head unit?

It will work without a head unit if your car amp should have a RCA input jack.

No, I wired directly to the Speaker ports at the rear of the amp. As far as I know, there isnt a headphone jack on a Amp. That jack you are looking at is a input jack for a Iphone, etc.

The charger is only used for charging the ipod, the aux cable allows you to play music through your radio, as long as you have an aux input in your car.

No ,you will need a 3.5mm aux output for this to work , then take the 3.5mm out put from the amp to your headphones.

Like previous answer, you can't directly plug into an ipod with these. The pots have regular stereo speaker hook ups (your + and - wires). I use mine with a household stereo that has two speakers, I can still use the radio, CD, aux, and tape deck and have it go thru the pots and the stereo systems speakers. I use my mp3 that way, aux jack on my stereo.

That is correct. Without the cord my ipod would not even charge. They run about $40 at the dealership. Or only a couple of bucks on amazon.

There is no adapter that plugs directly into head unit from the vehicle. You can rewire, but all cars should have an available adapter. You still have to wire the adapter to wires of the head unit, but you don't have to cut any wires. It's very easy. They are all color coded and labeled.

Dear Kay, The DAC will not work in between your Ipod and the tube amp because there is no way to connect your Ipod to the DAC. No compatible wiring and connectors available. This is the problem with apple products, only compatible with their own series of devices. You can connect the IPOD directly to the Tube amp, yes, with RCA connectors on the Amp side 9or any other available) and withna easily available jack on the Iphone side. The IPOD has an inbuilt DAC on its board but it doesnt get close to the Cambridge DAC quality. To connect a digital device to the Tube amp with a high fidelity DAC in between you have to look for non-apple players, COWON for example, top quality by the way.

Yes, if you are using the iPod as the music source. In this case, your iPod would have to be plugged into the 3.5 MM input of the unit.

Don't know. Won't work with my older Alpine in-dash head unit that has the connector for IPOD.

If your amplifier has an auxiliary input, it is possible. Test this by plugging your iPod directly into the amplifier with the cable whatever cable you need to use. If this works, then using the airwave will also work. You use the same cable that you plug your iPod into your amplifier with to plug the airwave into your amplifier.

So far only with the MP3 link, a cord with a male miniplug at each end (provided with Phillips system) similar to what you might use in a car with this capacity. It goes into the earphone plug on the IPOd.

It has RCA inputs which can be used with a headphone => RCA adapter.The amplifier is powered by an external adapter, as you would not use the DAC and only the amplifier with an iPod, the other answer is wrong.

The head unit I bought uses Bluetooth to connect. So I didn't need it. You will have use an adapter for iPhone 5 to work with this. Audio only

It's a simple plug and play cable. Plug the one end into your car's auxiliary outlet and the other end into your ipod or iPad. Start your car. The music on your device should now play through your speakers. I can control mine via the buttons on my steering wheel or on the dash.

Normally, that would hook up to the back of the head unit in the boat. If you plan on using just the iPod hook up you can simply wire nut the blue wire in with your red power wire, unfortunately this means your amp will constantly be on, so if you toss a simple switch in there, you can turn the amp on and off if you can't simply pull the fuse between uses.

Yeah, but it doesn't improve anything since your car stereo has a built in amplifier. If you want to bypass your ipod amp, just buy a LOD cable.
