iSimple ISCH73

iSimple ISCH73

Arrived quickly. Easy to install. I love that I have not lost the functionality of my steering wheel buttons. They work right along with this product for my ipod.

It works pretty well but a couple of annoying quirks

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.

Perfect Fit

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).

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.

Not worth the fustration

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.

ISCH73

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.

Works great in my 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited

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.

iSimple is simple

Great product, install was easy and instructions were straight fwd. If you're looking a great product to connect your iPod to your factory stereo, the iSimple is what you need.

Good factory integration

Installed in 2005 jeep grand Cherokee with factory nav unit and factory amplified. Make sure you check what stereo you have to make sure this unit will integrate some factory jeep stereo models will not work. Simple google search will point you in right direction. Unit works well was all plug and play for my stereo no wiring necessary. It has limited functionality with factory controls and steering controls but was expected only so far they can integrate on factory stereo. No info will be displayed on your deck its blank and you can change one song at a time with factory controls but still have ability to scroll right off your ipod easy enough. Leave extra slack when installed so you can access ipod easily.

Awesome product! Wife wanted to keep factory nav, so I installed this, and now she can use her iPod again!
