(More customer reviews)There's not a whole lot to this product. For someone who doesn't work on his car or perform modifications in any way, this was a very easy installation with one caveat. I have a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and I had to search around for a while to find instructions on how to properly remove the front bezel around the radio (I don't have the link anymore but a Google search will turn it up). The key is having a sturdy tool to get under one edge of the bezel and applying a fair amount of force without being rough (you don't want to mar up your dashboard).
Once the hard part of getting the bezel off was done, it was a very simple matter of a few screws to remove the radio and plug in the iPAC to the DVD navigation port (for me it was the only empty port since I didn't have the DVD Nav system). Also be aware if you have a CD changer when you plug the power back in (even with the car off as I recall) the CD changer will start making noise and cycling through all its CD slots. This caught me off guard, but after it ran through all six and verified that nothing was in the changer it stopped.
Snaking the iPod cable through the back of the dash and into the glove compartment was a little challenging for my less than petite hands as well, but didn't take more than a minute to succeed. This product comes with both the iPod cable and the left & right RCA plugs for a stereo headphone jack but if you want to use the headphone jack you'll need at least a 3' RCA -> 1/8" headphone jack cable before you start (or you'll have to take the bezel off again when you want to add the headphone jack cable. It's very nice that this allows both the iPod connection and the headphone jack in one device. Note: the headphone jack will not allow the music device to be controlled from the radio or steering wheel, only the iPod connector.
Pros:
- Easy to install
- Controls iPod from car audio controls
- Hides out of sight in the glove compartment
- Charges the iPod through the iPod connector
Cons:
- Doesn't display the ID3 tag info on the radio display
- Sound was not as full as I had expected (though that could be the recording on the device)
I would highly recommend this product for anyone with a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited!
