5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great

I bought this adapter to put in my Lexus GX470. I was worried that it would be difficult to install having not done any car stereo upgrades in years but it was easy to install. It turns out that Lexus snaps most of the dash board together so with a little care I pried out the covers, removed the screws and the radio came right out. I put the wire in the glove box and now I can plug my Nano in and leave it in the glove box. No wires on the console and no FM adapter plugged into the cigarette lighter. The sound is very good, as good as a CD. The only complaint is the installation instructions are a little generic so you'll have to fumble around a little bit to see what it takes to install in your vehicle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Product Technically - needs better instructions
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2010
Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase
This is a wonderful product. Works beyond my imagination. It has exceeded my expectation and given me a good reason to spend more time in my car.

PROs:
1. Provides a wonderful interface from my NAV screen (LEXUS ES350)
2. My CD player is not completely disbaled - I had a fear that installign the interface would disable my CD player. I can still play my CDs when I am not playing my ipod (the USA SPEC guys need to do a better at marketing their product)
3. The sound quality is excellent and provides good ipod fidelity
4. Again - something that was not mentioned i the manual - I can access and play the non-playlist options too (i.e. I can sort and play the songs by album, artist, genre etc).
5. There is negligible delay in accessing the information from the ipod.

CONs:
1. Well just one CON- the USA SPEC guys need a smart marketing communications person to help sell their technically excellent product to the masses. Their instruction manual is scanty and even the information on the web is scanty. For someone who is going to do a DIY job - we need better instructions.

Due to lack of poor instructions I had to spend some time pouring over web sites to fish out relevant information. The actual productive time to open my dashboard, install the interface, test it and put the dashboard back was about 30 minutes. Mine took longer.

1.0 out of 5 stars USA SPEC PA20 TOY LEXUS IPOD ADAPTER
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2011

I cannot rate this product yet as it did not work for me yet! It sure looks like a good solution to bring the vehicle up to speed with the ipod / mp3 connectivity..

HOWEVER,
I'm very disapointed in this product as it does not work, and if i were living in the US i would have sent it back for replacement if i had to return it from the UAE it would have cost me a lot to return it for replacement, the only thing it does is it charges the ipod i tried everything according to the manual but it just does not work... It well could be a defect with the unit from factory who knows...
Please advise my lexus LX470 2003 NEEDS TO BE CONNECTED TO AN IPOD PLS HELP!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor sound quality compared to tape adapter - '07 Lexus GS350
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2014
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
I purchased this product from an authorized installer locally. The PA20-TOY has been very frustrating in many respects. The two primary reasons for wanting iPod/iPhone integration were 1. the convenience in navigating music through the factory interface, and 2. achieving higher sound quality through the iPod/iPhone's dock connector.

With #1, this product gets you about 25% of the way there. You can advance songs +/- however you are limited in the number of playlists that will display, and the tracks and albums display in a Folder/File naming format that doesn't match naming conventions used in iOS (Album/Artist and Track). And since the product also uses Disc #'s within the CD Changer source in the radio, it is very non-intuitive navigating to specific songs and albums with these variables. I think with time it would be more intuitive, but the manual could be a little clearer for new users.

With #2, I am very disappointed in sound quality, and this is ultimately what spurred my contacting USA SPEC's tech support and the installer. I am getting very little mid bass and bass, especially from the rear speakers. This radio has a dedicated sub, so this shouldn't be an issue (and isn't for every other source but the USA SPEC unit). I have tried every combination of available EQ and DSP settings in my radio, but cannot get a balanced sound from either the dock connection or the AUX. Conversely, when I connect my headphone out to my $15 tape adapter, I get crystal clear, full balanced sound.

I called tech support when I'd A/B'd it enough to satisfy myself that something must be wrong with the unit. This led to a lengthy and tangential conversation that had me arguing for and against various encoding formats and bitrates. The person on the other end simply could not understand that in my A/B tests, nothing was different with source, EQ or DSP. I'd literally tried every setting and matched those settings with each source and file. He went as far as telling me that 128kbps was the ONLY recommended MP3 encoding bitrate from Apple. That's when I realized what I was dealing with and that I may be faced with having to return the unit.

I will update my review and rating once I check out cables in the unit and make sure it's not simply a connection issue.
