Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've ordered two of these... both of which I had to send back. :-(
I currently use a PAC Aux-pod interface (same manufacturer as this Pass Through) that I had used to power and play my old 4th gen ipod directly through the car stereo in my 2004 Toyota Camry, and wanted to use the same system to play/power my new iPhone 3G. (Like most legacy equipment for the older iPods, the Aux-Pod will play, but not power, modern iPhones...) So this Pass Through is basically and adapter/cable extender, that when you plug into the Aux-pod, allows you to pug on an IPhone and power/play.
My first order arrived and seemed to work OK for the most part, but every time I plugged in my iPhone, I received the warning message that "this device is not designed to wok with the iPhone" and asked if I wanted to "switch to airplane mode to reduce interference". Regardless, it did seem to work OK mostly... playing songs AND charging. I did notice that there was occasionally a little static interference when playing music from the iPhone and using the Pass Through. However, notably, my iPhone never did fit snugly into the Pass Through, and after a week or so, the iPhone stopped charging, and I sent back to Amazon.
My replacement arrived, and it displayed the same warning, and still had the static, but the adapter fit more snugly, and I was more or less content. However, again, after a few weeks usage, the powering capability died, and while Amazon accepts the return, they will not send a replacement stating "As it seems that the problem with this item is more widespread than we originally thought, we are not able to send another replacement. Please note that it is not our intention that we should not replace this item for you, but we don't want to disappoint you by sending you a replacement which may still be defective." Though it appears they are still listing the item for sale... hmmmm....
So, I'm going to look for an alternative, and contact PAC.
Either way, can't recommend. :-(
