(More customer reviews)The HK Drive and Play (D&P) is an excellent product that does what it says. When pruchasing this package you get the D&P as well as the in-line antenna connector. The in-line anntenna connector gives the best possible reception when using an FM transmitter/modulator. The only downside is that you most probably will have to have it installed by a professional. I had my D&P installed in my 2004 Cadillac CTS, which does not have any aux jack.
How it works: Plug your IPod into the IPod connector and the D&P allows you to control your IPod through the D&P interface. It doesn't work exactly as the IPod does, but its pretty close. The sound quality, as my installer told me, is only as good as your best FM station. But it really sounds good. When I turn off the D&P, its amazing how much FM noise and static exists. But when the D&P is on, it blocks out about 98% of that noise, so the music sounds good--definitely acceptable. Prior to this, I used a Sony FM transmitter, and about half of the time or more, the sound was not acceptable at all!
If you have no option of connecting an IPod through an aux jack, AND you have a good spot for the screen and controller, I'd definitly recommend this product. Keep in mind that by time you buy the D&P and have it installed, your wallet will be about $275 lighter. However, I was quoted $700 for a new stereo installed--and on my car, like lots of others, you lose some functionality because certain items are integrated with the stereo. On my car it was temparature, trip odometer, oil life guage, etc.
Finally, my installer also included a female aux in jack on the side of my lower dash so I can also use the D&P with my protable DVD or computer--pretty cool.
