4.0 out of 5 stars Best option for Infinity2004-2006, December 14, 2007

Take into consideration that the product is meant to give you the best option available for the purpose and environment in which it's used. Unfortunately the problem lies with the Infinity factory stereos and the interface options you have.

I too would be very intersted in a product that gave me full control of my ipod from my Infinity stereo but it will not be.

Considering the other option, which is to have a plug to the aux input and only control from your ipod, this solution is much better and at least gives you the ability to navigate through the playlist/artist/grouping that you've chosen (next/previous; ffwd/rwnd).

You can still use all features from you ipod to select your music and honestly if you select a playlist it should be running more than an hour or what's the point of having an iPod.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy install and GREAT sound!, April 23, 2007

After a bit of research, I ordered a PA11-NIS from ShipSound. I installed the PA11 in my 2000 Maxima SE which took about 45 minutes start to finish. In general, installation was just about as easy as could have been hoped for. The cable running from the PA11 plugged right into the CD changer port on the back of the Bose HU. The harness for the remaining wiring (power, speakers, etc.) also snapped into place without issue. The cables are long so I did not have to worry about where I mounted the unit. The overall build quality seems seems good; the cables are thick and attach firmly, and the unit seems sturdy.

The bottom line: both the iPod and the aux inputs sound fantastic and the radio interface works just as advertised. The whole setup is well worth the increased cost from a cassette adapter or FM transmitter. Since the PA11 charges the ipod as well, there are no wires running around and no used 12v ports. If you care about how your music sounds and you have some DIY in you, this is definitely the way to go. I am very very pleased!

This review is from: IPOD SMART + AUX NISSAN 97-06 (Electronics)

I installed this in a 2004 350z with the factory Bose system. Upon initial power-up, all seemed great. The PA11 saw my ipod, the playlists appeared as discs 2-6 on the Bose head unit, and it seemed to be working perfectly.

Then came the big disappointment. After shutting the car off, when I started it the following morning I went to play an ipod song and wow - no ipod is seen. Thinking I must have done something wrong, I checked all connections, powered the bose unit on and off, even reset the ipod. No go, it was connected fine, but the head unit would not recognize that a cd changer (how this unit is seen) is connected at all.

As a last resort, I disconnected the battery (as I had done upon installation). Waited an hour and reconnected, then powered up the bose unit. Voila'! It worked! As I was to painfully find, this was the ONLY way the PA11 would be recognized by my bose system, to completely disconnect the power. It was infuriating, especially after having spent over $100 on the unit and several hours doing the installation.

After a day or so of mulling it over, and not wanting to spend any more time messing with this (I had even considered installing a separate switch to totally power off the head unit and PA11), I have decided to get rid of this crappy thing. It is going back to Amazon - and I just installed a Pioneer 3200DVD head unit and it works flawlessly. Should not have tried to 'cheap out' and should have gone with the new head unit from the beginning. I know others have used this item successfully, but from my experience I would highly recommend AGAINST its purchase as it obviously does not work in 100% of the installations.
