The GTA has two huge advantages, Sixtn39. Thanks for your help.
1. It will charge the ipod while plugged in for those long trips. I don't have to carry or mess with the 12V. I can use my steering wheel controls.
2. It has the 3.5 aux port I can plug the ipod into as well or other mp3 player. I have no need for the RCA jacks...in fact, I cant think of anything I would plug into the RCA. When new ipods come out, I can always use the 3.5. Meanwhile, I will enjoy the ipod connector since it works with the next gen ipods.
3. No restriction to amount of playlist
4. Biggest reason... the price and his communication. At $89.99, great price. I did my homework..this is a fantastic price for the functionality it provides. I feel his price will go up once the word gets out. Im sure the price will go up soon. Max replies to emails quickly..within hours.
The new shipment should be arriving in a few weeks. I anxious to get mine and review.
Below is an email from the seller...Im starting to like this unit. However, until I get my hands on one and do a thorough review, I will have reservations.
I think I need to provide you more details on the functionality, so you can make educated decision to buy or not to buy.
So, once you connect the kit, you can get in iPod or AUX mode by pressing AUX button. Right now this button does nothing on your Odyssey.
So, once in AUX mode (it would display as CD4), there are two sub-modes:
Hybrid (Disk 1) - in this mode you have full control of your iPod and you can see the names of the songs directly on your iPod (and you can see song number and time on the Odyssey console). You also can switch between the songs with the controls on your steering wheel or on your radio.
Playlist mode (Disk 2-99) - in this mode each playlist on your iPod is like a separate CD. You iPod is locked, you cannot see the names of the songs on your iPod. In this mode you can switch between the playlists using DISK buttons, you can switch between the songs using steering wheel or radio controls, you can fast forward, use random button of car radio, etc. In this mode you can also see the playlist number (Disk 2 is Playlist 1, Disk 3 is Playlist 2, etc), song number and time. In this mode our kit support more 9999 songs per playlist.
Unlike Toyota, Honda does not allow to show the song name on its console for outside adapters.
We started selling our kits online only recently, therefore you don't see a lot of reviews. So, I will really appreciate if you can write review once you test our kit.
Thanks,
Max
