This interface was easy to install and worked the first time I tried it. It does not seem to allow you to switch between artists or playlists, but it does let you go forward and back within a set of songs and fast forward / back within a song. Another drawback is that you are in a Sony interface (not iPod) so it's harder to read song and artist names on the iPod display. But hey, for the price I am satisfied.

I use this with a Sony CDX-GT520 and it works good and charges my iPod. What I don't like is that it is very bulky and I had a hard time finding a place to put it, and it has a lot of cables. But it has good features so it is worth it, and once it is hooked up and the unit is hidden away it doesn't matter. I have 3 of them, one in my car, my truck and my sister's car.

This was a wonderful buy. My iPod sounds wonderful. It was easy to hook up. The only thing I decided I Dont like about it is that it doesn't charge my ipod. I tend to forget to unhook my ipod and bring it in to charge and find myself disappointed when the battery is dead. as a whole, no complaints. great product!
NOTE BY ADMIN: As our website indicates, the unit is not going to charge the iPhone 3G, iPod nano 4th generation and the iPod touch 2nd generation without the Scosche PassPORT adapter. Here is the link:
