IPOD SMART + AUX NISSAN 97-06

• Nissan/Infiniti iPod interface

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.

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!

I had this installed in my Nissan 350Z Touring Edition (2006). Sound quality is great, and obviously it's amazing to have all my music with me in my car, not to mention streaming media like Pandora.

I use it with my iPhone 3GS. My iPhone claims he device is not supported when ever I plug it in, but generally seems to work with my stereo and it does charge my phone.

The reason why I say generally, is that there are a few quirks.

The device has a mode where you can control you iPhone and what ever you're playing will play through your car stereo. To use this, you have to set your radio to CD Changer mode and select a specific disk (5). Usually this doesn't work with my iPhone on the first try. I have to cycle the stereo power on and off at least once, sometimes more, before it will switch to the right disk (5) and work.

The device also allows you to move forward to the next track or move back using your stereo controls (mine are on the steering wheel). Again, this doesn't always work. Sometimes, but not always, I have to press the button twice for it to work. This sometimes leads me to skip a song, when it does actually work.

Overall...I recommend the device, especially because I don't see any good alternative for the price...and because the sound quality is great...and these are generally minor issues.

I have a 1996 J30 and this interface works great. Ran the cable through the small compartment on the console, running the system in Direct mode. Sound quality is great.

Does what it is supposed to and allows for control both from the ipod controls and from the steering wheel controls

Contrary to another review, it does not disable the factory in dash cd changer, at least not on my 06 G35. You just hit the CD button on the head unit to toggle from internal changer to the ipod which the head unit now sees as an external changer. No issues.

The only thing it lacks is the ability to display track title info and time on the head unit. There are other adapters that have this feature but they cost more
