Product Description
This adapter allows an iPod portable digital music player with a dock connector to be hooked up to and controlled by most 2005 or newer JVC receivers that have MP3-compatible CD changer controls and display the following: CD Text, MP3 folder/file names, or ID3 Tag information. All the iPod buttons will be disabled when connected to this adapter and the iPod will be controlled from the JVC receiver. With this interface, you'll be able to play your iPod music files through your JVC receiver and have all the titling information appear on the JVC's display. When this interface is connected to the JVC receiver, you cannot connect a CD changer.

 Disapointed June 5, 2010

I was assured by the seller that this product would work with my radio -- not so. I need to contact and return
 Decent product, could be better April 2, 2010

I have a JVC head unit which plays MP3's off of the CD... this was great for audio books, but I wanted to be able to continue the book while doing things like mowing the lawn, so I bought this adapter to let me bring my books with me. The adapter itself is a bit bulky, luckily my Dodge Ram has a nice spot behind and below the stereo in the dash for storing it, and I was able to snake the iPod end into the cubby hole below the stereo. It was ridiculously easy to install. I struggled a bit with the interface, trying to find the book I wanted stored on it (the rudimentary display only gives the first 8-10 characters of the title), but eventually figured it out... not the best, but I guess it's serviceable. The sound quality is really quite excellent, and when you activate the iPod function on the stereo, it begins playing immediately where you left off (no waiting for a disk to spin up, etc). But, a major disappointment I came across was when my iPod ran out of battery and shut down. Apparently, it does not charge my model of iPod.
For the most part, I'm happy with this purchase, but I really do think that JVC/Apple could improve on it... the bulky adapter is a nuisance, but the cables are long enough to get past that... The iPod end is large and could use some sort of disconnect to make it easier to fish through your dash, but I got past that easily enough. The lack of charging on my iPod could force me to reconsider, however.
Worst. Interface. Ever. April 2, 2010

Does not work with iPhone or Touch, as many have noted.
Used with the iPod models it DOES work with, you will encounter one of the worst user interfaces in the history of consumer electronics. Absolutely no sorting or organization features for music of any kind - no folders, no playlists, no sorting by artist or album. You get an alphabetical list of tracks on your device. Just start with "A" and, if you have more than 20 songs on your iPod, settle in for a few hours of scrolling through song titles to get to anything that starts with "The."
Does not work with ipod Touch or Iphone January 20, 2010

I bought this item not knowing what I know now. This adapter does not work with Ipod Touch or Iphone. You can google this adapter and will find the same information.
Good product, limited functionality. December 7, 2009

This adapter was just what I was looking for. I have had my JVC car stereo for a couple years, but I wanted a more convenient method of storing and playing my music, so I got an iPod and this adaptor. It was easy to install and I did not find it difficult to learn to navigate the menus on the JVC front panel. I did have one major disappointment which is the reason for the 3 star rating. Although the product manual states that the iPod will charge whenever the stereo is on, when I plugged in my gen4 Nano, the screen on the iPod displayed a message that this adaptor did not support charging. So my listening time in the car is limited to the internal battery life of the iPod.
