4.0 out of 5 stars Works as advertised, March 27, 2007

The adapter came with all the harnesses to connect to the factory deck in my 2005 Avalanche. Some of the clearences were a little tight but this had nothing to do with the unit. There was plenty of cable to locate the unit in the center console, out of harms way and out of site. I had to drill a hole to put the ipod connector in the center console armrest. The unit worked as advertised and was also upgraded to show Artist and Title when you push the DISP button. Unfortunately you have to push it for every song but I believe this is an issue with the Factory Head Unit not the PA11-GM. The instructions are a spotty but if you read them completely it is all there. I was able to connect the unit as XM1 and it works as described. XM2 is still available for XM radio if I wanted to throw my money away on that. The truck also has a DVD player in the back seat connected to the factory head unit, this still works also. As an added bonus the factory system supports selecting audio from the back seat. The PA11-GM/IPOD is available from the back seat as XM1 also. I created a couple of playlists and I can select them like giant CDs. If I am listening to the radio and the kids want to listen to the IPOD they can choose it separately from the back seat. If I had one complaint it would be not being able to see what song is playing without having to push the DISP button.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works like a charm!, August 28, 2007

I tried another manufacturers iPod product and was not able to get it to work. Every 15 minutes it would pause the iPod.

So, I landed this little unit and it works great! Displays this artitst and track name, but it doesn't scroll the entire name, just the first 8 letters or so. No big deal. It works, which is more than I can say for the other manufacturer.

Completely happy with the purchase. It is great to have 1000+ songs at your fingertips.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not stay Working!, February 4, 2009

I love the idea of this product but I cannot get it to keep working. I installed it in a 2007 H3 Hummer. Installation was straight forward and initially it worked like a champ but then all of a sudden it will just quit. I even sent my first unit back and got a replacement. The longest it has worked without stopping has been 4 days. And when I say 'stop working' what happens is all of a sudden the radio no longer recognizes it. Normally my radio will show XM1, then iPod, then the track info. When it quits working, all of a sudden you do not get XM1 as an option. the Band button just cycles through the other choices. The iPod still shows that it is connected and continues to charge but that is it. I have to take the radio out and disconnect everything and reconnect it to get it working again. It's driving me crazy. I really want this thing to work.
