 If you can use this, buy it. September 9, 2008
David A. Neal (Kirkland, WA USA)
Assuming that your radio can support all that this device has to offer, you cannot go wrong. It took a little while to figure out how to navigate, but now it's second nature. I only wish I would have purchased this sooner!
Works fine with iPod BUT Does not work with iPhone/iTouch September 4, 2008
G. Wayne
I bought two of these for my, and my wifes car as we both have the JVC-KDHR1 head unit. It worked fine for my wife, who has an older iPod. Though navigating the menus via the head unit can be complicated and confusing until you get used to it.
This unit did not work for me however. I have the same head unit, but use an iPod Touch. When connected the head continuously displays "CHECKING" and the iTouch displays "External Device Connected" whenever video or music is selected. No audio can be played or heard when the unit is connected. The problem seems to be that the iTouch is "aware" that an external controller is connected, but the JVC head unit is incapable "talking" to the iTouch. Apparently the external control interface, or command protocol, for the iTouch is different than previous iPods. Either JVC must implement this interface in their newer head units, or the iTouch needs to have a software mode that emulates an older iPod.
I would be happy, even happier, if I could simply connect the iTouch via the control cable and have it 1) charge the iTouch, and 2) provide audio to the head unit. I don't need to control the iTouch via the head unit. This way it would function just like any iPod speaker/amplifier docking station. I feel certain there should be some hack or way of "fooling" the head unit into simply accepting the iTouch audio and provide charging voltage, but I haven't yet discovered one.
In the interim I purchased another JVC connector cable that simply converts the same head unit input to a line level RCA stereo connection. I connect to that cable with, yet another, adapter cable that converts dual RCA (male) to 1/8" stereo (male) for the iTouch headphone jack. I also purchased a combination cigarette lighter holder-mount/charger/FM transmitter for the iTouch ridiculously cheap on eBay. I tried the FM transmitter and found the resulting audio extremely weak. So now I keep the iTouch mounted and connected to the holder for charging, and also connected to the head unit via the 1/8" headphone output. It's a complicated arrangement that also results in ignition noise, probably due to the multitple grounding paths provide by both cables. Still it's better than just the FM transmitter until a better solution becomes available.
exactly what I expected August 29, 2008

Plug it into the back of your head unit, power up and connect your iPod. Works wonderfully!
