Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have had this installed for about a week, so I'm still playing around with it. But I hope this review still helps....
I installed this on a 2007 Camry LE. It has the basic factory radio (not navigation) and steering wheel controls. Installation took approximately an hour with an online guide to get to the back of the Camry radio, and some previous experience on other, similar cars.
The Car Configuration and iPod Configuration switches were in the default position (both up).
I Plugged in a 2nd generation iPod Touch with firmware 3.1.3 and it worked (text showed up on radio and could control from the radio and steering wheel). However, (This is where it gets finicky) when the car was turned off, then on, the ipod would sometimes continue from where it last left off. Other times, it would start from a song originally selected on the ipod. Ideally, the ipod should pause when the car is turned off, and continue where it last left when the car is turned back on (I have a 2010 Altima with the iPod integration factory installed). Yet, it did work, so that was good.
Later on, the car radio would display text as though I was scrolling through options (Bass, Mid, Treble, Software Version and some other things) and text that showed time (like a track was playing), but there was no sound. At this point, I could occasionally get a song from the iPod to play, but it was the same song and I could not figure out how to change it.
At this point, I thought it was not going to work anymore, until I started playing with the switches.
I decided to put the iPod Configuration switches both down. Both up makes the iPod display an accessory connected (such as an iPod dock) and you can only control from the car radio/steering wheel. Both down let's the user have control from both the iPod and car radio/steering wheel. According to the manual, both down is for radios that do not display text.
Anyway, after putting the switches down, everything started to function normally (Controls from radio/steering wheel, text on radio, and iPod paused after turning the car off and played after turning the car on).
Hopefully, everything continues to operate well.
I recommend this product.
