(More customer reviews)I wanted to hook the product up to my rear or car prewired CD changer wiring. A special adapter is needed. I contacted the company who sent me the appropriate adapter really fast. It works as advertised.

The PA11 series iPod interfaces provide direct connection for an iPod plus an optional audio source such as satellite radio, DVD, or video game system. Both the iPod and the additional audio source are selected from the factory radioâ?TMs front panel. The interface adapter connects the iPod to your factory radio as if it were a CD changer, allowing direct selection of iPod playlists through the radioâ?TMs preset (or disc) buttons and is compatible with iPod models featuring the dock connector, including the iPod nano and 5G iPod video. There are two operating modes available for the interface, Playlist Mode and Direct Mode. Playlist Mode uses the controls on the factory radio to provide basic navigation functions including song up/down, playlist up/down, repeat, shuffle, scan, and FF/REW functions. Direct Mode uses the iPod's click wheel to navigate through the iPod's menus and select songs, artists, playlists, etc. and the radio buttons are used only for volume, bass and treble. Both modes still charge the iPod while connected, and stops one hour after the iPod is paused to prevent over-charging. Note: Display of artist and song title information, track search by artist, song title, album or genre are NOT supported. Only the Playlist and track numbers are displayed. Applications: Cabrio - 1998-2004 Beetle - 1998-2007 Beetle Convertible - 2003-2007 EuroVan - 2001-2004 Golf - 1998-2006 GTI - 1998-2007 Jetta - 1998-2007 Passat - 1998-2007 Rabbit - 2006-2007 Touareg - 2004-2007 Special Note: PA11VW6 replaces the older PA11VW and IS compatible with vehicles equipped with Satellite radio tuner but NOT with vehicles featuring factory DVD, or CD changer. Also, some 1998-1999 vehicles equipped with Bose or Premier radios with 13-pin DIN cable in trunk are not compatible with PA11VW6.

Car Cassette Adapter For MP3,iPod,XM,CD,MD,Sirius Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What I wanted was to use an FM transmitter to pipe my iPod and my Sirius radio. Unfortunately I live in a big city (Phoenix, AZ) and in my route to work the radio stations change just enough that I cannot find any FM stations to transmit on without interference. I have a 2002 Porsche Boxster S and for whatever reason, Porsche put a tape deck in that model stereo. I bought this tape adapter and presto no more FM transmitter! I had to make the modification mentioned in a review for "Coby CA-747 Dual Position CD/MD/MP3 Cassette Adapter" to bypass the automatic tape flip feature. (It seems to be fairly common for people to have to do this with tape adapters.) The Porsche unit has a door that flips open and closed to access the tape deck. This door must be closed for the unit to play. I had to carefully feed the tape adapter cord through the face plate in a place where it did not pinch it upon closing the door. This turns out to be the middle top of the face plate.
This tape adapter unit works like a charm. I've only had it for a week but I already love it. One thing I noticed in using a tape adapter with the ipod is that the sound quality improves if I only turn the ipod volume up to 50% and use the stereo volume for the rest of the sound. I plug this adapter unit directly into the iPod. I don't notice any static or distortion now that I balanced the iPod volume.
