(More customer reviews)In general, a cable is a cable is a cable. And this is no exception. It does the job nicely. I'm just using the stereo audio part at present - from my TV to my Onkyo receiver and speakers. Recommended.

(More customer reviews)I use this to connect multiple subwoofers to my iMac so I can have a subwoofer output from my iMac. I have a 3.5mm coming from the audio output then a Y splitter to my Subwoofer amplifier and another to my surround sound.This thing gives a perfect low subwoofer frequency to my kicker solobarics.I would definitely buy these again.

USA Spec GM iPod® Interface Connects your iPod to select 2006-up GM LAN factory stereos Review

(More customer reviews)This interface worked great and does everything it says it does.Controlling the unit can be a bit tricky to learn but once you figure it out it works great.Real simple plug and play design, if you have factory XM/Sirius.Just unplugged a cable on the XM receiver, located behind the glove box in the 07 Tahoe, then plugged in the interface.
Hardest part was hiding all the cables; a couple of zip ties helped bundle them up.

Product Description:
The PA20GM provides direct connection for an iPod and an optional audio source such as satellite radio, DVD, or video game system, while retaining CD changer functions if equipped. Both the iPod and the additional audio source can be selected from the factory radio's front panel. Allows selection of tracks or playlists.
The new PA20GM interface is designed for the late-model GM LAN and Class II radios and is especially nice for vehicles equipped with Navigation. Navigation radios use the soft keys on the display for direct control of iPod functions and it displays the iPod information.
Three operating modes are available- Playlist, Direct, or Hybrid. In Playlist mode the controls on the radio will operate the iPod only, and the iPod's click wheel is locked out for safety while driving. In the Direct mode the iPod's controls are used to navigate through the iPod's menus and select songs, artists, playlists, etc. and the factory radio controls will provide volume/tone control only. The Hybrid operates like Playlist mode but the iPod controls are unlocked allowing direct access of all controls directly from the iPod's clickwheel. All modes still charge the iPod while connected, for up to one hour to prevent over-charging.

USA SPEC PA11-GM45 - iPod in-vehicle interface adapter Review

Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)try to back up and play the last song again, and it is troublesome.I starts the song after that, and occassionally jumps two or three back, when you try to back up one and it doesn't take it and then suddenly it succeeds too well.
.
I lose my right channel fairly often when I hit a bump, or even when I don't.I now keep it accessible so I can jiggle it some to fix it.
.
I also am getting some interference, which is caused by this unit--it comes and goes, but is not a issue when I use the radio.
.
I've used it for 3-4 years now, and can't really complain about it.I would like to find something better which displays playlist names and artist/song information.\.
.
For long trips this has been wonderful.

(More customer reviews)It took all of about 10 minutes to install this in my 2000 BMW 540i.I didn't bother running the cord back into the passenger compartment.I just leave my iPod nano in the trunk.I set up 5 special playlists - BMW1, BMW2,... BMW5 on my nano and it works flawlessly.Even after switching from one playlist to another, it remembers where you were on the old playlist when you go back.Pretty cool.Sound is great.The only thing that sucks is that I didn't buy this 3 years ago when my CD player went kaput.

USA SPEC PA11- FORD1 - iPod in-vehicle interface adapter Review

(More customer reviews)My bride wanted an iPod in her 2001 Ford Taurus Wagon for Christmas.
At first I tried the Belkin TuneBase FM with ClearScan thinking that this would be an easy solution but quickly found that the cigar lighter was not very stable and since the antenna was in the rear, the reception was awful. Granted the TuneBase is a $90 purchase at target and the kids working returns were very empathetic to my having tried it and suggested the hardwired option.
The PA11-FORD1 got good reviews and the best price is here at Amazon. I had to purchase the extension cable from Crutchfield (a great resource for DIYer's) since the stereo receiver unit is mounted behind the spare tire on this vehicle. The wiring harness adapter has some heat shrink that has to be removed to get both connectors on the receiver. the extension cable can be run following the factory cable bundle along the drivers side floor board but the rear seatbelt bolt has to be removed with a large torx wrench to move the panel out. Once routed to the dash, the din tools are a must to remove the radio panel and mount the unit behind the dash.
I paired it with a Bracketron bezel mount that requires drilling into the metal frame around the radio and it's rock solid.
The PA11-FORD1 works in place of the CD changer option and sounds great.
I saved some bucks over having it professionally installed but if you are not so inclined I would suggest paying to have it done. Cheers!

Product Description:
The PA11 series iPod interfaces provide direct connection for an iPod plus an optional audio source such as satellite radio, DVD, or video game system. Both the iPod and the additional audio source can be selected from the factory radioâ??s front panel. The interface adapter connects the iPod to your factory radio as if it were a CD changer, allowing direct selection of iPod playlists through the radioâ??s preset (or disc) buttons and is compatible with iPod models featuring the dock connector, including the iPod nano and 5G iPod video.
There are two operating modes available for the interface, Playlist Mode and Direct Mode. Playlist Mode uses the controls on the factory radio to provide basic navigation functions including song up/down, playlist up/down, repeat, shuffle, scan, and FF/REW functions. Direct Mode uses the iPod's click wheel to navigate through the iPod's menus and select songs, artists, playlists, etc. and the radio buttons are used only for volume, bass and treble. Both modes still charge the iPod while connected, and stops one hour after the iPod is paused to prevent over-charging.
Note: Display of artist and song title information, track search by artist, song title, album or genre are NOT supported. Only the Playlist and track numbers are displayed.
