This document is about the adaptor cable for connecting an iPod to the System-up connector. The cable can be connected to the System-up connector of head units like CQ-C8803U/ C7403U/C5403U.
The document describes the Panasonic CA-DC300U, a direct cable adaptor designed to connect an iPod (specifically 3rd and 4th generation models with dock connectors) to a System-up connector on a car head unit or an Expansion Module. The manual includes multilingual text in English, French, and Spanish.
This cable is designed for the 3rd and 4th generation iPod, iPod mini, iPod Photo, and iPod nano.
You need this cable to connect an iPod to head units such as the CQ-C8803U, C7403U, C5403U, or the CY-EM100U expansion module.
No, head units sold before 2005 are not supplied with the required System-up connector, so this cable cannot be used with them.
