The install is pretty straightforward even though I'm not particularly good with tools or stereo stuff. The only thing I'm a bit disappointed about is that my 4th generation iPod Touch doesn't allow charging with this cable. Other than that, really great!

Exactly as advertized. I can plug my Ipod or my iPhone directly into my car stereo and control the device by my stereo.

Highly recommend - use it daily and have had no issues at all.

The Kenwood iPod cable works flawlessly- much better than the Pioneer cable in another system I have.

It`s ok product. But the wiring is to short. It is mounted in a AUDI A3 as is a small car. And even in this car it was short:(
