Has anyone tried USA SPEC iPOD Interface

Interesting -- it looks very much like my VAIS-100i unit, physically.

It's major differences appear to be that it does not display track information on the MFD, or allow you to control the iPod from the MFD; and it is limited to 5 playlists.

 

I saw their products at Circuit City yesterday. It looked alot like the Neo product.

 

according to the website it doesnt work if you dont have the stereo upgrade

 

I tried the USASpec Aux Input with my Prius and it didn't work at all. It also lowered the volume on the XM Radio like the iPod2Car did.

If you can not get VIAS AIC100i, try AUX2CAR.

I used DiscountCarStereo.com before. I am very happy with their
service. They actually have someone answser phone and email!
I ordered a PIE aux input for my Honda Civic Hybrid from them.

Now I have a Prius, so asked DiscountCarStereo.com what will work on
the Prius for IPOD adaptor. Here is their respond.

I believe that AUX2CAR will emulate a CD changer. Not Mini Disc changer.
So, if you already have a CD changer, you are out of luck.

hilore, Did you get this and if so what year prius do you have? I have an 01 without cd changer, do you know if this will work with it? If so i may have just found my answer.

Thanks
