Description Crutchfield Hands-on Research
 

You can take it with you. Just because you've got a factory radio in your car, doesn't mean you have to leave your iPod (and the hours and hours of music it contains) at home. Just install USA SPEC's iPod interface — it not only allows you to listen to all your favourite tunes through your car's speakers, it even lets you control song and playlist selections right from your radio.

Just mount the compact interface box in a hidden location in your vehicle, and connect the adapter cable to the CD changer input on your compatible Chrysler factory radio. Plug your iPod into the interface — you can control volume, source, song selection, and up to five different play lists right from the radio. And the interface charges your iPod while it's connected.

Please enter your vehicle information or call a Sales Advisor at 1-800-297-9469 to find out if this adapter is compatible with your vehicle. As the iPod interface uses the CD changer port, any existing changer that you have must be disconnected.

Works Just Fine December 13, 2008
Reviewer: Snakeman from Virginai Beach  
I got the USA-Spec adapter for mating a 120Bg iPod Classic to my 2004 PT Cruiser.  I installed the box in the glove compartment and routed the wires through the slots already in the back of the plastic box. The cord to the iPod got routed through a hole I drilled right next to the power socket. I used a Pro-Fit Vehicle Specific Mount and the whole thing went together flawlessly, in about half an hour. I set the DIP switches for Direct mode, and everything operates perfectly from the iPod itself. The sound quality is superb. If I had the right kind of stereo in my two caravans so that I could use this unit, I would not hesitate to buy two more of these!


 
Jeep Liberty 2006 November 27, 2008
Reviewer: Kyle from New Hampshire  
I bought this for my factory installed radio which is linked to controls on my steering wheel.  It was a snap to install and sounds like a dream!  I did find that I prefered to put the adaptor box in my glove box for easy access if the cables should ever come loose from it.  This item is well worth the $$$ and still being able to use my wheel controls makes it priceess!!! My advice treat yourself its well worth the great sound!


 
Works exactly as advertised! October 2, 2008
Reviewer: Patrick from Marlborough, MA  
Installed this in my 2003 Ram 1500. Factory radio with ipod classic. Took about 20 minutes to install. Very clear instructions and was simple to install. Setup playlists as instructed and have been very happy with the performance. All functions work as listed. Seek next song from radio controls and up and down to next play list from radio controls. Can't beat it for the money.

Reviewer: Jeff from Ramona, CA  
This product only works with my iPod, not my iPod Nano.  It's software is
specific so as you update the software on your iPod, it may not work.  The
fix from the mfgr is to use the RCA jacks.  Music plays OK, but it will not
charge the unit as you drive.  It's not worth the cost, your better off with a
$10 patch cord.


 
Doesn't Work in Prowler March 27, 2008
Reviewer: Vince from SoCal  
Didn't work in my 2001 Chrysler Prowler. I needed  a PA11-HON with a CDL-CJ connector cable. See my
review for the PA11-HON
