Review by
Jeep Owner from Boston, MA

Bought for 2006 Jeep Grand Cher. with Nav. Best Buy installed for $45 in 30 minutes. Cable come out from cubbyhole in front of shifter allowing iPod Touch to sit in cutout also in front of shifter, so it does not slide around while driving and with length of cord, I can easily pick up iPod while driving to use it. Steering wheel controls work for volume and skipping back'forward for songs. Can not fastforward or rewind songs. Note NAV screen does not support showing ipod display.

This is overall a great product. I've had it in my jeep for a few months now and it's working great. The price is also very good compared to it's mopar counterpart (which is not even in production anymore)
Pros: Easy to Install, Great Price Value, Durable, Plug-N-Play, Good sound quality Cons: Had to disconnect my Rear DVD player since this product uses the VES port, Volume per input can only be changed by the smallest of precision screwdrivers Wish it Had: Ability to still run rear DVD player with ipod integration unit, better integration showing song/ artist info on unit, ability to control ipod (choose playlists, etc) from steering controls (not just skip songs function)

I bought this item for incoporation into a video entertainment system (VES) even though it says it is not compatible. After inquiring to the company and them accommodating with a concept diagram for the wiring, I went into the dash and it was an easy installation. It worked great and I was able to utilize both the DVD surround sound for the VES as well as my iPod separately. The volume sync was reduced in both protocols but with increasing the volume I noticed no quality compromise. I just had to be sure to reduce volume before switching to AM/FM or Sirius or I'd get blasted a bit! Highly suggest if you are skeptical - Best Buy's version is like 180 bucks and does not take installation into account (they will refuse to pair with a VES and you'll be SOL).

This product now enables me to use my ipod in my pickup without the noise and hassle I previously had using an FM transmitter. The installation was straight forward, the sound quality is outstanding, and I am now able to control the ipod with my radio and steering wheel controls. I suffered with several FM transmitters for some time until I found this product. If you want to listen to music and audibooks, this is the way to go!

I purchased this item for my wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee and it works flawlessly! The hardest part of the installation was figuring out how to get the wire from the unit to the console. The connections were well labeled and the instructions were easy to understand. I highly recommend this product!

Review by
CRT from Chicago, IL

I purchased the ISCH73 for an 2005 Durango with REC Radio with Satellite System, and Rear Seat Entertainment System. After purchasing, I followed the iSimple instructions to install. The item works beautifully while allowing me to maintain the Satellite System, and Rear Seat Entertainment. The wife Loves it. The only item that I wish they would tell you is that if you use the device with the SES system, when you forward the channels on the iPod it also forwards the channels on the SES system. While this isn't an major issue, you have to manually change the songs at the iPod if your watching the SES system at the same time.

Its a bang for your buck. Works well with the steering wheel control. Will also retain all factory options like satellite radio, and power accessory to radio.

For the most part, the product works well and sounds good. The only annoying part is that when you turn off the ignition, the DVD/Aux turns off and the radio defaults back to FM. The radio will stay on until you open the car door. The FM is attuned much, much louder than the DVD/AUX so you had the volume way up to hear you iPod and then you get BLASTED by your FM radio. Remember to turn it down or off before you turn off the ignition. Having to switch between DVD 1 & DVD 2 can also be annoying.

Installed in a 2007 Dodge Caliber and works fine. I use it with an iPhone 3G. I get the message that the device is made for the 3G but it works anyway.

I have a 2007 aspen with a VES. I installed the product, installation was the easiest part, and it did not work. Instead it continually pause my ipod. First I had to trick it and play the VES and put the ipod in play mode then plug the iPod in. Then the music played but there is problem, the VES could not play at all. According to the note in the manual the VES will no longer play through the vehicle speakers, which i was fine with because we could hear it through the headphones. Or so i thought, the VES had to be completely off with now disc in it. After ejecting the disc, finally I heard only music...but I am still awaiting the cd quality that is labeled, the sound was no where near it. BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD....Sorry I can not suggest this product.

This was very easy to install and use. Ipod control is pretty basic but you can use the Steering Wheel Controls and the deck to control your Ipod. Not to mention you can still use your Ipod to find music as well. I also had a HD tuner installed in the other input and everything works great.
