Are these all the parts I need for Pioneer Premier HU Install?
Hi,
I am planning to install a new headunit into my XF Limited. I want something classy with good sound quality. I will be replacing just the headunit for now and would like to utilize the factory amplifier. I am looking to purchase a Pioneer DEH-P880PRS head unit. For the harness, I am planning to get the Scosche VW01B. For the antenna adapter, I plan to get the Metra 40-EU10 VW /BMW/Euro Car to Male Motorola Vehicle Antenna Adapter. Finally, for the iPod connectivity, I plan to get the Pioneer-CD-IB100II-iPod-Interface-Adapter. Whew, I already have the crimps and removal keys for installation. Am I forgetting anything? Thanks!

Yep, that's everything you need.
One thing I would maybe consider is to use an auxiliary input rather then the ipod interface adapter.. most of the ipod interfaces absolutely suck and are a pain in the *** to use.. while the ipod is simply genius to use and easy as well.. just my 2 cents..!

But, my previous headunit had a "video" in.. I used a dock connector to rca cable and it also had charging wires.. i controlled the ipod through the ipod and since it was dock connector, it was superior quality to the headphone jack..
cable is like this -> IPOD DOCK TO AUDIO VIDEO AV COMPOSITE RCA CABLE ADAPTOR - eBay (item 250390297274 end time Sep-11-09 12:20:52 PDT)
just something to consider, i've been down that road searching about 10 different methods of connecting my music, etc.
