PAC AAI-NIS2 Auxiliary Audio Input (Nissan & Infiniti) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I tried to hook up and ipod and aftermarket Sirius receiver. If only one of the two are connected the sound is AMAZING!!! I was so tired of the awful audio from my sirius using the FM modulator and this definitely gave me digital/CD quality sound from the ipod OR sirius through the factory radio. But as soon as I installed the ipod into the other aux jack there was noticeable interfernce on the sirus. On music channels it wasn't as noticeable but on a talk station it was just as bad as listening to it on the FM modulator.

Alpine iDA-X200 In-Dash Radio/MP3 Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was surprised there was so little info on the web about the Alpine iDA-x200.It's one of the only car stereos that can control your Creative Zen and other mtp (media transfer protocol) mp3 players like an iPod.When you plug your zen into the usb port, it takes about a minute of searching before it will play music.You can search by playlist, artist, album and others.You can skip to the next song but you can't speed search through a song (this limitation is only with mtp players).Also, when you turn off the car and come back, it will return to the beginning of the track you were listening to (only with mtp players).This means, for practical purposes, you will want to carry your podcasts and any lengthy tracks on a flashdrive or ums mp3 player. The alpine can speed search tracks on ums devices and it even remembers exactly where you left off within tracks when you disconnect the device and reconnect!Plus you can do all the same searching by artist, album, track, file name ect.So you're probably wondering, why not use a ums mp3 player exclusively?Two reasons.First, you won't get playlists.If you want playlists, you have to get a mtp player or iPod.Second there are currently no small ums flash players with large capacity (32 gb) and great sound (Sansa Fuze blows in comparison to Zen V Plus).Two other quick notes, there is no cd player and going to radio presets requires a few clicks.Finally, I want to mention how much better the sound quality is when you allow the Alpine's 24 bit burr brown d/a converter to process the sound (using usb connection) rather than letting the mp3 player decode the sound and send it into the car via minplug aux connection.If you current stereo plays mp3 cds, do a little experiment and listen to the same song on mp3 cd compared to your mp3 player plugged into the aux.Keep an eye on the horizon for when the Microsoft and Ford sync exclusive deal ends.Then you may be able to buy a non-Ford car or an aftermarket head unit that works with mtp mp3 players and has voice command.Should be within a year.One more thing, if you upgrade your Zen V firmware, the Alpine will control it too. Also, I can't tell you about the power of the internal amp because all my speakers have a separate amps.Even though it's the only game in town in aftermarket car stereos that can control mtp music players, it does an admirable job.

Pioneer MVH-P8200BT Multimedia AV Receiver with Built-in Bluetooth Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received my MVH-P8200BT yesterday, and installed it.Installation was as normal as any other stereo, except the additional parking brake wire if you want to use the photo or video portion of this radio.Let me first start out by saying the AM & FM portion of the radio work pretty good, you can relatively easily seek to the next or previous station by pushing the knob left or right, or bring up your presets by pushing it up. The radio displays the RDS nicely as well. Changing sources (Radio, ipod/USB, or Aux input requires pressing the SRC button and rotating the tuning knob to the right or left to highlight the source and then pressing the tuning knob in.This in all is relatively easy to do in a timely manner.

Where the problem comes in, is using the ipod interface.it will start playing I believe the last song you had playing, but if you want to jump to another artist or lets say a podcast, be prepared to take your eyes off the road.You have to hit the Home button, and then rotate the knob one to the right and then press it in, and rotate the knob to highlight Songs or podcast or artist, and in my case lets do podcast, then the lost of podcast comes up and you have to rotate to the podcast and press the knob in, then it shows you the episodes, then you push it in.But on top of doing this, the tuning knob which is a 5 way control (left, right, up , down, and in) is very sensitive and plan on registering the wrong menu choice, and then having to hit the previous button on the display to pop out one menu and continue.You have to do this anything you want to change songs that are not the next immediate song that you can just press the right commander button to jump to next track.

So, I thought, well the nice remote has a left right up and down, and in feature as well.I will do this from the remote with a little more precision, well turns out 70% of the buttons on the remote don't even do anything.any function that requires you to turn that knob on the radio, still has to be done that way. the up and down will not allow you to scroll through menu items. the only real think I was able to do with the remote was volume, next track and previous track, and radio tuning.

If you thought it would be nice to be able to play videos from your ipod or photos, it requires a $40 cable with a usb and aux cable now hanging out of the front of the radio per the manual.I did put some photos on the SD card, but you cannot play music from SD while you do your slid show, and again its a cumbersome use of the scroll wheel to jog between music and photos on the SD setup. You are able to play the slide show while listening to the radio.

Now for the real good, I think the best integration with this unit is the bluetooth with the iphone or probably many other phones, I was able to easily pull up contacts, and you can quickly choose a letter of the starting letter of the contact and click through to dial the appropriate name and if you want to call mobile or home.And the audio with the included mic is excellent.it will mute your music and continue it when your call is done.

The radio looks really good and thats what lead me immediately to this model, but I am ever so sorry I did not test it out before doing the install.I for sure thought the short comings would be overcome by using the remote, but you had no way to test it that well in the store.The remote is useless for iPod navigation or navigation or any SD media.I did get a chance to watch many tutorials online on the Alpine receiver 305 which was made for iPod and it has the navigation the way I would prefer it, thought it does lack characters and you have to scroll most titles, this pioneer was able to display a good character set.Oh and speaking of a feature that Alpine has, it has a nice readable clock.The clock on this is small, there is a feature you can turn on to show a nice clock, but you have to turn it on every time, it doesn't stay on as an option. Even with the radio in off mode, it should show the nice larger clock IMHO, but it doesn't you have to fight menus again to call this up.

To summarize,much fighting with a poor jog wheel to drill through menus to make common settings to what you want to listen to.They made it simple to change source and volume and next and previous track everything else gets deep in menus that will take usually 6 to 10 seconds to drill through menus to do, this is not safe in a car and the remote which could have assisted in this matter has much less ability.I think if you can do a double din the AVH-P3200 double din touch screen, is sooo much easier to navigate and for not more then $120 more in general, very upgradable and the addition items you get (CD/DVD slot and DVD playback, you wont be trying to convert stuff to Divx, and you can burn your stuff or bring along your DVD's and you have a bigger screen.

iHome iP45BZ Portable Stereo Rechargeable Alarm Clock Fm Radio for Iphone/ipod Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am using my ipod with this system. The music sounds great. It took just a few minutes to figure out how to work. It comes with a rechargeable battery, so it will play plugged in or not.The remote control works well, too.Setting the clock and alarm is easy. This is a simple and satisfying way to listen to my ipod in the house---the entire house from a little speaker.

I didn't have any problem tuning into radio stations that came in well even without the antenna.

The remote control is a little unreliable. The range the product suggests is 15 ft, but I found it unreliable even within that distance. It often requires several pushes and moving it around.

Sony Bluetooth Wireless Transmitter for iPod (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're looking for info on how well this works with headsets, I'm sorry to say that I don't own a BT headset (yet).This review focuses on the transmitter in conjunction with a Sony BT receiver that I use to connect my iPod to my home receiver, since that was the primary reason that I got one of these.But hopefully you'll still find something useful.

First off, Amazon's two sentence product description is a bit too brief, so here are some specs from the packaging:

Communication System:
- Bluetooth Specification version 2.0 + EDR
Output:
- Bluetooth Specification Power Class 2
Maximum communication range:
- Line of Sight approx 10m (30 ft)
Freqency band:
- 2.4 GHz band (2.4000 GHz - 2.4835 GHz)
Modulation method:
- FHSS
Compatible Bluetooth Profile:
- A2DP, AVRCP
Supported Codec:
- SBC
Supported Passcode:
- 0000, 1234, 8888
Terminal:
- iPod connector

Compatible iPod models (official):
- iPod nano 1st generation
- iPod nano 2nd generation (aluminum)
- iPod mini 1st generation
- iPod 4th generation
- iPod 4th generation (color display)
- iPod 5th generation (video)

Although the compatibility list does not mention it, this add-on definitely works with the iPod classic, because that's what I'm using.The terminal is the current standard 30-pin connector, so if your iPod is more recent than the above list, chances are that it will probably work... but I can only speak for the classic.CONTENTS:
The package comes with:
- iPod Bluetooth transmitter
- manual
One funny note regarding the packaging:I couldn't believe how HUGE the packaging was for such a small item!!The main photo on the package depicts an iPod with the transmitter cleverly placed in view right below the iPod photo, where it would plug in.It certainly catches the eye.USAGE:
It couldn't be simplerYou just turn on your iPod and connect the transmitter to the port, and in order to activate it, you set your receiving device into pairing mode and then hold down the button on the transmitter for about 7 seconds until the two devices are paired.That's it.SOUND:
Overall, I find the sound quality on the receiving side to be excellent.I base my opinion on headphone comparisons between:
a) plugging directly into the iPod and
b) plugging into my Bluetooth receiver unit
As far as I can tell, the sound is pretty much identical, although a bit lower in volume, but that may due to my Bluetooth receiver.

For reference, I'm using the transmitter in conjunction with the Sony HWS-BTA2W Bluetooth wireless audio transmitter/receiver as my Bluetooth receiver.Both these two devices support Bluetooth 2.0 and A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile).For audio comparisons, I used a pair of Sony MDR-V700DJ Monitor Series Headphones.

One important thing to note is that you cannot control the volume of the transmitted sound.I'm not exactly sure why that is, but it appears to be by design.All your iPod controls behave as they normally do and you can even move the volume slider up or down, however it has no effect on the transmitted sound.Some functions, however, do still affect the sound, such as "Sound Check", "Volume Limit", and all the "EQ" settings.Since these features still work, I'm assuming that the lack of volume control is by design.The volume output is the max allowed by the Volume Limit setting.

My only guess is that the volume control is to be used in conjunction with AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile), but I don't have such a device to confirm.I don't know if this happens on other iPod bluetooth adaptors, but I could see the inability to control the volume via the iPod becoming an issue if you want to use it with a BT headset (unless the headset has volume controls)RANGE:
The packaging states "Line of Sight approx 10m (30 ft)".I had thought that Bluetooth did not require line of sight, but Sony clearly states so and for the most part, it holds true for this unit.I have tested up to around 25 feet with clear line of sight and the sound remaind crisp and clear.Clothing also did not present any problems.I buried the iPod and transmitter under a pile of ski clothing with no effect.

But once you block the path with walls or other sources of interference, the signal will start to become choppy or completely cut off.Be warned that your body can also block the signal.Cupping my hands completely around the transmitter would pretty much turn the signal to crap beyond only a few feet from the BT receiver.In most cases, as long as I'm witin a one or two feet, the signal still comes through, but the more I block the signal and the further I go, the more the signal would degrade, as is to be expected.

As far as home use goes, as long as I'm in the same room and not actively trying to block the signal, I haven't had any problems.DESIGN:
The design is about as simple as you can get.It has a single big button in the center, which you can use for various functions (turning on/off, pairing) and a bright blue light which signals the unit's activities.It is completely powered by the iPod, so no extra power supply or battery is required.

I have seen similar Bluetooth attachments for the iPod which are little blocks the same width as the iPod.Personally, I prefer the small design of the Sony.One major factor that I like about it is that I can plug it into my iPod without removing it from its protective case.I use a leather casing by INCASE which only leaves me an opening for the 30-pin connector at the bottom.

My main pet peeve that I have about most block adaptors is that while they may blend better with the iPod in overall shape, there aren't any cases (that I know of) available that fit an iPod WITH attachments, so if you use a case and want to connect something, chances are you'll have to remove the iPod from its case before plugging in your accessory.The Sony might make for an odd shape, but for my purposes at least, it works better and I think that it still looks pretty slick.

One thing that Sony could have added, however, is a locking clip for the transmitter.The transmitter sits pretty snugly and doesn't feel like it'll fall out by accident, but it would have been nice to have that extra sense of security.CONCLUSION:
The unit is a bit pricey, but overall I'm quite satisfied with its functionality.The sound quality is good and for my purposes, I haven't had any problems with signal strength.

As an aside, my primary goal was to connect my iPod to my home speaker system.I was originally looking at the iPod Universal Dock, but found it to be completely worthless, since the remote control could only play/pause/skip prev/next and control the volume.For actually selecting music, I still had to go up to the dock in order to browse for my music.And who wants to get up to change music anyway?:)

Using this Bluetooth setup, I can now use my iPod as a fully functional "remote" (except for volume) and have my music come out of my main speaker system.I do wish I could have the option of charging my iPod while it's broadcasting (since the charging port is occupied by the transmitter), but the fact that I can keep my iPod in its protective case and the nice compact size and look of the transmitter makes for a decent tradeoff.Bottom line:If you have a nice home speaker setup, I totally recommend going this route!

**UPDATE 12/13/2007**
Just a few more quick notes and clarifications (as if this review wasn't long enough, eh?) since I've been using it for about a month now... and I still LOVE this device!

Usage:
I should clarify my above comment that it only requires pairing with your receiving device ONCE (like most BT devices).After the initial pairing you can unplug it and only plug it back into the iPod when you want to use it.If you're near your previously paired receiving device, all you have to do is plug the transmitter into your iPod and hit play, and the receiver should immediately pick up your audio signal.To preserve battery life, the iPod transmitter only transmits if you're actually playing music, which is pretty good.

Lack of volume control:
After having read other reviews for similar attachments, the fixed volume output appears to be normal.For my purposes, it would have been nice if I could have controlled volume directly from the iPod, but I'll live.At least I know that it wasn't necessarily a design-flaw in this particular device.

Philips USA PH-62050 CD/MP3/MD-To-Cassette Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got the Philips Cassette Converter to run my iPod Shuffle in my '96 Saab 900 with factory equiped stereo and it works beautifully. Yes, it is true that the signal is not very strong, so you have to turn the volume up a bit, but even the little Shuffle can compensate for it and by no means do you need to fear forgetting to turn the volume down when you switch to Radio or CD. The sound quality is as good as the iPod delivers and you have no disturbing background noise. I also had no problems that the deck would eject the tape. I can recommend this product and it's good value for money (I didn't try similar one)

Pioneer DEH-4200UB CD Receiver with OEL Display and USB iPod Control Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the best single din player I have come across. I used sony xplod series earlier and have also used kenwood but I realized when I used Pioneer that it is a class apart. I have 4X4 infinity reference speakers installed. 1st time I used my pioneer, I thought "Do I have a sub in my car that I dont know about". I mean, I could actually feel the real power of infinity without amp just by installing pioneer!!

This system is amazing. I can tune it the way I want it too. It has HPF and LPF, so if I had an amp or sub, i can make use of it. One of the best thing about this is the blue OLED screen. Though I would have loved it to be 1.5 times or 2 times bigger than what it is but its great. Lot of options to choose from. I can also setup alarm on it (though i've never used it). The sound reproduction is very clear.

Dont buy the pioneer cable for ur iphone. Your regular charging cable will work just fine.

The negative:
Only thing I dont like is the joystick which is little less on grip. But I rarely use it as I am hooked to the remote.

All in all, the best your money can buy for the price. Thumbs up and pioneer again hit jackpot with this.

Enjoy vibrant, exciting displays with the Large Full-Dot OEL display that makes it easier to see what is playing, no matter what the light is like. Scroll through your iPod with greater ease with 3-Line list mode. Even enjoy features like 3D full motion screen savers.
Fed up with your Bluetooth headset?
Here's a better hands-free solution. Use the available CD-BTB200 Bluetooth Adapter and Bluetooth-enabled cellular phones for easy, safe, and hands-free operation. The unit acts like a speakerphone, channeling the sound through your car speakers which makes the call sound better. It also automatically mutes your music so that you'll never miss a call. Optional CD-BTB200 adapter required.
CD-R/RW Playback
Play back your favorite CDs and burnt CD-R/RW discs in the slot-loading CD player.
MP3/WMA/AAC Playback
Don't let your favorite music downloads languish on your computer hard drive. Burn them to a CD-R or CD-RW and play them right on the car stereo. Enjoy hours of your favorite tunes MP3, WMA, and AAC audio content.
You can also just throw some files on a USB thumb drive and insert it directly in the front panel USB input.
iPod Made Easy
It's easy! Simply plug your iPod directly into the unit using the optional CD-IU50 iPod cable, and you are ready to rock and roll. Listening to an artist that you just can't get enough of? Now you can hold the "List" button down and it will pop up folders containing that specific artist, album, or genre. You can also have your passenger control your music directly from the iPod.
Connect, Tag, and Download
Have you ever heard a great song on the radio, but couldn't remember what it was called or who sang it when you went to go look for it later? Now you don't have to worry about missing out on great music. iTunes Tagging gives you the power to "tag" all of your favorite songs without having to scramble for a piece of scrap paper in the car, then later preview or purchase music at iTunes Music Store.

A Better Way to Control Your Music
Sick of using buttons to search through your songs? Now you can scroll through your music with greater ease using the 7-way rotary commander.
Bring Your Music to Life with Advanced Sound Retriever
This year you can hear the detail, warmth, and clarity the way the artist intended it, from all of the highly compressed MP3, WMA and AAC files playing on your CD player. By restoring data that tends to get lost in the digital compression process, we can make your music sound close to CD quality.
Supertuner IIID AM/FM Tuner
Pioneer's legendary Supertuner IIID combines the best of digital and analog tuner technologies to reduce distortion to bring you exceptional FM and AM performance. If you live in an area where reception is weak, you'll hear a big improvement in signal strength. And when you're near tall buildings, Supertuner IIID reduces the effect of multi-path noise, which occurs when the signal is reflecting off of the buildings.
MOSFET 50W x4 Amplifier for the Power Hungry
Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, delivering power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. And that doesn't just mean a boost in volume: it means that your music will be cleaner at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. Clean, efficient power that will rock your vehicle.
The DEH-4200UB is also well-equipped for those who want to expand their system, with three sets of 4V preamp outputs (front/rear/subwoofer) for system expansion with external amps/speakers, and a two-way crossover with separate high and low pass settings.
Get Plugged In
Use the built-in AUX input for connecting any digital portable player and other external auxiliary devices. For extra-convenient access, the input is on the front panel.
Dial In Your Sound
Tweak the sound to your liking with the on-board three-band graphic EQ. A Loudness feature ensures ample low-end even during quiet listening, and standard balance/fader controls let you adjust the stereo image to suit your vehicle and preferences.

Griffin iTrip AutoPilot FM Transmitter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered the new iTrip and was hoping to use it in my SUV (a 2007 Chrysler Aspen).You download a free app to your iPhone, let it search for an empty piece of FM bandwidth and you're ready to go.The device is beautiful and very well designed.Unfortunately, with recent regulatory changes by the FCC, the allowed amount of signal strength just isn't enough to get a decent signal.Maybe my car has a lot of metal shielding in it, but I held the cable as close as I could to the external antenna, but it just wasn't usable.I ended up returning it.I don't consider this Griffin's fault but rather the FCC for implementing too strict regulations.

GOgroove FlexSMART X2 ADVANCED Wireless In-Car Bluetooth FM Transmitter with Charging, Music Control and Hands-Free Calling Capability for ANDROID, iPhone, Blackberry and Windows Smartphones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I got the HTC Evo back at the beginning of June I just went to Wal Mart and picked up an FM transmitter there for 50 dollars, but it would only transmit to the radio but not charge the phone. For anyone who has an Evo, you know that the battery life is not good. Plus it had a so much excess wiring. I returned it and bought this off of amazon and it is amazing. It paired within 10 seconds and transmits with barely noticeable no static, transmits far better than the 50 dollar thing I got from Wal-Mart or the FM transmitter I had for my iphone. I put my phone onto pandora, plug in the charger and set it down and if a song comes up I want to skip, I can just hit the forward button on the flexSmart unit which can be easily adjusted to any position for your hand.

I love this thing, its not obtrusive, theres not a ton of excess wiring, just the gooseneck and if you want to charge it simultaneously you can just plug it into the usb port with the included 6 inch wire or use your own. The calls come in clear and great too, just as good as any bluetooth headset.

I highly recommend this if you dont have an auxiliary port in your car stereo, I was considering getting the gomadic one which is only 5 dollars cheapers, but has so much more wiring and the typical inconvenient control module built into the wiring. I'm really glad I got this one, I'm about to drive from DC to Portland and this thing will make the trip much more bearable and its not an eye sore in the car.
