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).
