======Update=======

The first unit failed after a couple weeks and then after installing a replacement unit it failed again. Complete junk that I wouldn't rely on. Also, be careful that the seller you buy it from through Amazon is an authorized dealer for USA Spec. I bought mine from Audiosavings.com through Amazon so USA Spec wouldn't repair my unit and it had to be send back to Audiosavings, which took some communication and time. I do give Audiosavings high marks for their customer support though, so far at least.

======Original Review=======

The install in my 1999 Honda Odyssey could not have been easier. Just pry off the bezel surrounding the stereo/heater controls with a screwdriver and you have access to the screws that hold in the stereo, remove the screws and just plug this adapter into the rear. I tucked the box behind the cup holder drawer and routed the iPod wire down to the small storage box at the bottom of the center console (below the radio).

It works as advertised but you'll need to read the instruction manual as it's not too intuitive. I just put the radio onto CD-6 so I can control the music directly on our iPod touch (2nd gen) or iPhone 4. You can still use the steering wheel controls to skip songs like you're playing a real CD, which is nice. Woud buy again and would recommend to a friend.

I broke my radio transmitter that I used for my iPod and when I saw this device I did hesitate to get it. But when I got it, it is just what I was looking for. It is easy to install and the quality of the sound is just as if you were listening from a headset.

My wife has a 2005 Honda Civic EX Sedan. After moving to a new state, there weren't enough available frequencies for a Radio iPod adapter. After researching iPod interfaces, most forums, recommendations, and "How-To"'s used the USASPEC brand. We've used this interface for a year now and I'm still getting husband points for installing it.

The hardest part of the install is the access and dash removal. Almost every plastic part from the rear center console up to the radio had to be removed. While this isn't difficult, it's very cumbersome. The next biggest challenge is accessing the rear of the factory radio. You will need to pull/push/pry in multiple ways, but once you know the trick it's pretty easy. In the end, the connections for the interface are really simple and come together quickly -2 minutes at most. Use automotive tape to secure it somewhere inside your dash and run the extra long iPod connection to anywhere you would like before reassembling your car.

My biggest complaint is the terrible instructions that are included in the package. There are only a few toggle switches, but you'll need to make sure everything is working before you reassemble your dash. Despite all the available functions, you'll only use the "Disc 6" option which allows you to use your iPod as normal (selecting play lists, etc on your iPod), but the forward and reverse on the dash can change songs too. Look for a YouTube "How-To" for better instructions on how to use the interface.

**Overall**

Pros:

-Highly recommended on Honda Forums

-A simple addition to your car with a huge benefit

Cons:

-Included instructions are terrible

-Cars can be a pain in the butt to disassemble and reassemble
