(More customer reviews)After much research, I discovered that our Navigator was unable to accept a direct line-in adapter for an ipod/iphone due to the rear navigation system using the "spare" input on the receiver. I was resigned to not having an ipod input in this car, but kept on searching. Am I ever happy I did.
After finding and researching this product, I decided, with some trepidation, to order the "pro-install" version. the trepidation came from the fact that I have previously tried FM transmitters to play portable devices through the car stereo, and have never had satisfactory results with regard to sound quality. I decided to give this system a chance, since it is directly wired into the antenna and not just transmitting through the air on an FM frequency (at least with the pro-install option). And by the way, don't let the name "pro-install" fool you. This is a DIY kit for anyone who is comfortable taking our your car stereo to get to the back and finding the right power wires to connect to. If you are not scared of those things, then you wan install this in under an hour.
I won't go into the boring details of the install, but i will say it was a piece of cake. The toughest part was deciding where to route the dock connector cable. I decided to route it to the center console. One installed I turned on the stereo, plugged in the iphone, and tuned to the FM frequency I had selected (you can select which frequency you want to use based on which FM frequencies are not used in your area). Voila! Crystal clear sound. Nothing at all like the FM transmitters I have used in the past. I also really like the RDS feature. It displays the artist, song, and album or playlist title on your stereo. the only thing this product doesn't do is allow you to control your ipod through your stereo controls. You use the ipod itself to control the music. No big deal for me. In fact, I think it's easier that way.
I heartily recommend this product to anyone looking for an easy solution to playing an ipod thorough your car stereo.
