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

By	Edmond Ray "Tech Junky" (Cornwall, GB) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

By	Eric Wiklund - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great unit, but terrible instructions, January 23, 2009

By	C. Collins - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The provided instructions are AWFUL! But once I got it all connected up, it works pretty well. Great sound, but it still doesn't play the correct playlist even though I named them per the instructions. Also my radio doesn't display the song information. Beats the heck out of an FM transmitter though because you can hide the iPod and control it via the steering wheel.
