Returning mine for all the reasons citedJuly 23, 2007 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I wish I had read the reviews here before buying my Sony car stereo with this adapter, which I am having uninstalled and returned tomorrow.
One aspect of the "ignition reset" not mentioned by other writers is that the iPod interface mode changes when the ignition is turned off. What this means is that there are three ways to navigate through your iPod songs: Album, Artist, and Playlist. Like many people, I prefer to navigate by Playlist. Well, every time the ignition is turned off (basically, as soon as the warning beeps sound, telling you to take off the face plate if you don't want your radio stolen), the unit reverts to Album navigation.
That wouldn't be as much of a pain, except for another funky glitch: switching from Album->Artist->Playlist will cause the iPod to restart at the first playlist on your iPod! So, if you go to the trouble of disconnecting your iPod when you shut off your vehicle, you'll still end up resetting to the beginning the second you want to navigate by anything other than album.
Oh, and that warning tone I mentioned? It's just annoying. Really, now -- how many people remove the face plate of their system every time? I'm sure there are some, but why not provide the ability to disable the warning chimes?
All in all this interface unit is barely adequate. The only reason I would use it over the AUX jack would be to have my iPod charge while playing. The navigation and usability are about as anti-iPod as you can get.
Simply horribleJuly 20, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is probably the worst piece of Sony equipment I have ever purchased. Save your money and buy a headunit with ipod integration built in.
-Navigation through your ipod library is near impossible. -Unit resets EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU SHUT YOUR CAR!!! NO RESUME!!! -No display on ipod when hooked up to this unit, just the corny xplod logo. -Cannot use ipod controls when hooked up to make navigation somewhat feasible. -Text display on headunit will only display artist OR song OR album NOT ANY COMBINATION which is pretty much useless.
The only good thing about this unit is that it charges the ipod and has good sound quality (compared to an FM modulator).
I am using this on the Sony f-605x headunit (an amazing piece of equipment) it's a real shame this product could not integrate the ipod into such a great stereo. I never thought I would be complaining about Sony stuff but STAY FAR FAAAAR AWAY FROM THIS JUNK!

The unit did not work on the Sony CDX-GT310 receiver. All it does is tell me that I can "safely remove the iPod." How for the hastle of trying to get a replacement. Maybe I should just get a refund.
iPod Resetting - Small WorkaroundDecember 18, 2006 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
OK...I'm pretty much in agreement with the rest of the reviews posted for this product on the internet. I was also becoming pretty frustrated with the fact that the iPod would reset to the first song on the first album every time I restarted my car. But after tooling around with the setup in my car I discovered that the problem is that the iPod adapter does not disconnect from the iPod when the radio is shut off. Once your radio is completely powered off (the clock is not displayed), disconnect the iPod and manually turn it off (or let it shut itself off). This works for me since I have my iPod in a very accessible place. Just reconnect your iPod before you start your car again, and music will continue from the song you left off of. Really, all Sony needs to figure out is how to have the iPod disconnect after the radio powers down.
Not worth itNovember 21, 2006 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
A pathetic attempt at iPod integration. Navagation is a trial and error endeavor. It doesn't remember the last place it was playing between you turn it on/off. The screen of the iPod has a dumb Sony Xplod graphic on it so you can't even use it to find a song and then have it play through the adapter. Deeply disappointed in Sony for this shockingly bad product.
