Peripheral iSimple PXAMG/PGHTY1 Toyota/Lexus iPod Adapter w/Aux+Text Review

Peripheral iSimple PXAMG/PGHTY1 Toyota/Lexus iPod Adapter w/Aux+Text
Average Reviews:

I recently purchased this for a 08 Toyota Camry and 05 Tundra w/ NAV. I have the USA spec adapter in my tundra now and I have to say I am pretty dissappointed that it stopped working they I wanted it to (no more playlist option) as soon as Apple did an update to their ipod line. The PXAMG installed fairly easily and is firmware updateable which I like. I made sure to run the latest firmware update which it already had and the customer service was great confirming all my questions through the install. Two thumbs up for this product.

This product fits perfectly and I was really glad to find it after having purchased several generic sunshade that did not fit the very large Prius windshield.

DICE i-Toyota-R-5v iPod Integration Kit for Toyota, Lexus and Scion Review

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.

Sunshades for TOYOTA PRIUS 2010 2011 Heatshield Custom-fit Sunshade Review

I have no garage or carport, so my poor car gets exposed to a lot of sun. I bought a sunshield at my local Toyota dealer thinking that they would have selected one that would be a good fit for the car's windscreen. How foolishly deluded I was: the shade didn't cover the whole windscreen, it was difficult to keep in place, it was flimsy and difficult to fold... I only stuck with it for a few weeks before looking for a replacement.
The custom-fit sunshade to the rescue! What a contrast. The shade completely covers the entire windscreen and the two little side windows, so it is much cooler in the car than with the previous sunshield. It is very easy to put in place, and because it is very stiff it stays in place even if you don't fold down the sun visors. When taking it down, it is easy to fold. Because it is so large it is slightly more awkward to install and take down if there is someone sitting in the front passenger seat than if you are alone in the front of the car, but it's not impossible.
I am very pleased I bought this product and would recommend it.

ZAGG invisibleSHIELD TOYPRINAV for Toyota 2007 Prius Navigation Screen (Clear) Review

ZAGG invisibleSHIELD TOYPRINAV for Toyota 2007 Prius Navigation Screen (Clear)
Average Reviews:

1. First, it's too expensive for what it offers. Quality, I mean.
2. After it gets applied, remain some air balls between the display and this shield, but I've managed to take them out. You must have the hands cleaned and to take care to fit well on the display's surface. It has exactly the size of the display, not even 1mm less ore more.
3. Final result? The surface of this shield shines and reflects 2 times more the sunlight than the original display. When the display is off, you can see the tracks/small imperfections from installation.
I'll take it out next days, I'm highly disappointed!
====================================================
Update 4.02.2011: the screen protector remained on my screen and it does his job, although I would like to be more matte and not so shiny as this cover is. I've changed review rating from 2* to 4*.
