Thanks guys, I was not knocking the unit or trying to start trouble? The unit I have from usaSpec required no cutting or splicing It came with a harness that plugged in line with the existing stereo harness, and a Coax runs from there to the usaspec adapter. In fact I can plug this cord into the adapter or CdChanger and the head unit does not know the difference? With my Ipod I push the CD button on the Touch Nav unit and my Ipod comes on. Do any of you know if this unit can be installed in the same way? i.e. in place of the CD Changer and retain all its features that are superior to the usaSpec unit? I'm going to call the manufacturer tomorrow.

I received my unit today from Logjam Electronics( i guess i can say the name), Install took me about 15 minutes and i find that it works great so far. I only had 10 minutes after install to play with it but the major issue i found is not with the unit but that I have so many songs it takes forever to scroll through them all. Somebody mentioned here earlier that it would be better to make playlists and I agree 100%. As far as the scroll speed that was mentioned earlier in the post I have no problem at all and scrolls just fine I used a 30gig video ipod. The sound is awesome and sounds better than the radio itself and I am definetly not a stereo person but this was simple plug and play and I found it was worth every penny so far to have all my songs at my fingertips and not have any wires or an adapter plugged into the cigarette lighter. Thanks for posting this as I am sure I would have never done this without your post.

Congratulations on the install

I think the unit works great and sounds great too. I also agree on the scrolling, even though it is all up there on the NAV screen to see and to scroll through, the original iPod scrolling is better. (I guess that's why they sold a zillion iPods!).

I will be moving mine from glove box to center console so that I can scroll for albums on the iPod (in manual mode), then switch to auto mode a view/scroll from the Nav screen for minor scrolling between songs.

Thanks again to vlxjim for showing us the install.

Thanks,


I’m glad this is all working out. And yes play list are a must. For me I have ALT, TECH, 80’s, 90’s, 2000, Reggae, Slow And Country I’m going to become a dad in the next week or so, so it looks like I'll be adding Kid’s to the list to, I also have four play lists that I break up the artist into so its easer to search for artist.

I just received mine from logjam. The outside of the package says rev.5.03. Is this the correct rev? Is this what everyone else was shipped from logjam? One post said re 5.3 or higher, did they really mean 5.03 or higher? Just want to make sure B4 installing.

[LV_H2]

Yes. Version 5.03 is the one that I have on the unit that I just installed and it works fine.

I received ver 5.03 as well. The install was just like posted. No problems. My only problem was that I don't understand the controlls and I don't see the song titles, albums and artists.

Is my iPod the problem or did I not wait on the hand shake? I waited a minute or more to do the hand shake befor making the change to the iPod.

Sound is good and I am otherwise happy with the product. Some of the steering wheel controls work, like seek.

Let me know if I missed something on the labels.

Thanks.

WOW!!!! This is a great write up.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Getting tired of the on and off static those FM trancievers give out.
