 Incredible product! November 21, 2007

This is one of coolest "black box" gadgets I have had in a long time. I got this USA Spec PA12TOY ipod adapter for my 2008 Toyota Tacoma with 6 CD changer factory stereo (not JBL). Installation was a breeze (simple plug & play). I popped out the stereo, where there is an empty plug waiting on the back side. A cable from the USA Spec plugs into the empty plug of the radio. Then an additional cable runs from the USA Spec to your ipod. This USA Spec has additional RCA plugs that I connected my Sirius radio into (cable not included but only a few dollars). The unit is pretty small and was easilly hidden up behind my glove box. If you search the internet you may be able to find photos of individual installations and advice on how to take your radio out (I was for the Tacoma). Important to note that your CD changer is disabled with the use of this (but who needs CDs when you have your ipod?). For my radio/vehicle, the ipod operates under CD1-CD5 (corresponding to the first 5 playlists on my ipod). CD6 is the auxillary RCA plugs (my Sirius radio). I control the ipod either on the ipod itself, through the controls on the stereo, or on the steering wheel stero controls. USA Spec appears to upgrade the unit from time to time, so you should check their website for the latest unit that goes with your vehicle. I am extremely happy with the product and will be looking for one to go with my other vehicle. Highly recommended!!!

I love my Toyota iPod adapter! It was very easy to install and I am not a particularly technologically savvy person. It plugged right into the CD changer port in the back of the radio and took less than an hour to install. Also for looks, I was even able to hide the converter behind the glove box and I ran the wire under the center council to plug it into my iPod. This way the wire is out of the way and it looks a lot cleaner. After you have installed it, I realized that you can change the songs through your iPod or through the regular dash board radio/cd player buttons. The iPod adapter shows up as the CD # 6 changer. If you want to listen to CD's you can also have up to 5 in your CD player and easily switch between your CD's and your iPod. It will even reveal the song and artist of the song being played on the radio screen. This has been very convenient especially since I have a ton of songs on my iPod, some of which I do not know. One of my favorite features is the fact that the adapter charges my iPod while it is plugged in. This is such a nice convenience when I want to go and workout with my iPod right after work and I had forgotten to charge it before I left. Another great feature of the Toyota iPod adapter is that it works with the iPhone too! If you are listening to music and you iPhone rings, the music will automatically turn down so you can answer and hear the person on the other end. I highly recommend this product to anyone who owns a Toyota and is in the market for an iPod adapter. It looks like it came with the car and it works amazingly!

Bought and installed in my 2006 Tacoma (w/factory stereo). Installed in 15 minutes (pry out the climate control panel, remove four bolts, slide out radio and plug in the new cables). Works great in hybrid mode (lets you use the factory CD player controls or the IPOD's controls to control the IPOD). Text display works fine with the Tacoma stereo.

i installed this in my 03 toyota 4-runner. it was pretty easy but takes about an hour or so. it installed with no problems. i tried the 1st. gen i touch and it worked great, it charges and i can use my steering wheel controls to switch tunes. i plan on getting the 2nd touch, so we'll see what happens then.

I have a 2007 Toyota Tacoma with a six disc factory stereo. I love everything about this truck except the fact that the stereo had no aux. input. Crutchfield recommended the USA Spec iPod Interface and even gave me their tech. support phone number. After calling USA Spec and talking to the tech support person I was very excited. I ordered the device from Crutchfield and have been very satisfied with the item. This interface not only allows my iPod Touch to be controlled by my factory stereo (even the controls on the steering wheel), it charges the iTouch! In addition there is an Aux. Input for my Sirius Satellite Radio.
I recently purchased an iTouch 2nd Generation and found that it will not charge like the 1st Generation did. I called the USA Spec Tech Dept. and they are sending an updated cable for the changes that Apple made to the Gen 2 iTouch so it will also charge. The total cost for the upgrade $14.95 including shipping.
This interface is completely worth the money and it was simple to install with the excellent instructions provided by Crutchfield.
