Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just got this unit installed today in my 2004 Scion xB so I am not reviewing the long term functionality of the unit although so far it seems to meet expectations. I did have some issues that were resolved with installation. First, the unit has a DIP switch that needs to be set before installation, you have to visit their website to get the code for your car. The instruction manual is very generic, and contains no vehicle specific information.
When I removed my radio from the dash I was confused, as the "vehicle specific" cable supplied has 3 connectors on it but there was only one open connection on the radio. I looked around trying to figure out if the others went to something else but couldn't find anything. Then when I powered everything back up I found the unit was not functioning: the ipod was not charging and would not play back over the stereo.
I used the contact form on their website and explained my problem, thinking I would never hear from them. To my surprise I received an email back minutes later explaining the extra connectors (not used) and the tech asked me to cycle the position of the DIP switches and try again, which fixed my problem and now my ipod is charging and plays through the stereo.
I'm using this with my Touch and so far have verified that track change stereo controls change the song playing and that the player pauses when the car is turned off and resumes when turned on which is what I really wanted.
If you are new to installation you might want to ask a pro for help with this installation or find internet help beforehand to ensure you can get access to the back of the radio and get the cable routed.
For my installation once the issues were figured out only took about 20 minutes and only required a screwdriver.
