Will I be able to control the play list from the HU?
No.Will the sound quality be decent?
It will be OK, an iPod docking port adapter would be better. Is there any other possible set ups i could use? (no FM signal connections)
Yes. re: last question. Last question, if i do get that kcm 123b i will have to pull the already installed Alpine HU from the console.
That will depend on the MM&Y of car it is.
If it's a 90 Civic, you may be able to reach up behind and plug the adapter in.  94

I don't think they ever made a dock connector for Alpine models with M-bus. This may be your only option without getting a new HU.

Ok guys, thanks for the quick responses. It seems like that cable will be the only alternative without getting a new HU and its cheap enough to make it worth a try. Now unfortunately this is not my civic where i can reach around the back of the console and get to the radio, the car in question is a 98 Contour. Any ideas on how to get the HU out?

Remove the trim bezel and "lift" the locking pins 1/2 way up the "hooks they are in and pull unit out.
If the locking pins will not move the may be binding because there is pressure on them, push in on the unit a little as you lift the pins. 94

Is this the dock connector you are talking about? http://www.pie.net/pie_store/s...bc=noSo the advantage it has over the kcm 123b is better quality and charging?

ok, i finally got around to installing the cable but I have not been able to hear the music playing through it. How do I switch the HU to aux mode?
