Rockwell Collins’ iPod solutions are compliant with Apple’s “Made for iPod”
and “Works with iPhone” programs, ensuring the full functionality of your compatible
iPod. These highly scalable iPod solutions can be installed in a variety of
configurations based on your cabin requirements. The Electronic Control Module
(ECM) connects and controls the interface from the iPod to the aircraft’s Cabin
Management System (CMS). It authenticates the iPod and charges its battery at
the same time so your entertainment keeps going long after the flight ends.
In addition to the ECM, you can select any combination of a docking cradle,
cables, bezel assemblies and jack panels to customize the docking solution that
best fits the cabin layout. Once installed, simply attach the iPod to the docking
cable, control it from your seat, and enjoy its music and video content from
your cabin’s speaker and video system.
