JVC Car KSPD100 iPod Connection Adapter for JVC Car Stereos
JVC Car KSPD100 iPod Connection Adapter for JVC Car Stereos
This adapter allows an iPod portable digital music player with a dock connector to be hooked up to and controlled by most 2005 or newer JVC receivers that have MP3-compatible CD changer controls and display the following: CD Text, MP3 folder/file names, or ID3 Tag information. All the iPod buttons will be disabled when connected to this adapter and the iPod will be controlled from the JVC receiver. With this interface, you’ll be able to play your iPod music files through your JVC receiver and have all the titling information appear on the JVC’s display. When this interface is connected to the JVC receiver, you cannot connect a CD changer.
User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Waste of time
For the JVC receiver I got it is a waste of time and money. My receiver already got an USB conector and it is much easier to operate the Ipod using the USB conection than using this adaptor. I expected that the operations should more similar to operating the Ipod itseft, but it is a big mess. I finaly gave up and now I only hook up my Ipod inthe USB connector of the receiver.
5 Stars Tricky interface at first, will not work with iPhone or Touch
This unit works well with my iPod. I wish the interface would know where in your playlist you are so you don’t have to scroll from the beginning of your playlist every time you want to play something new.
It will not work with podcasts but you can just create a podcast playlist where you can just drag and drop the podcasts. You do lose the ability to skip tracks that is usually available with the podcasts.
It will not sync up or charge iPhones or iPod Touch units but it’s not an issue for me.
I have been supremely satisfied with the ability to put my ipod in the glove compartment and control it through my head unit’s remote with perfect sound quality (iTrip has always been an nuisance and static was always an issue).
2 Stars Not happy with it.
Non-intuitive navigation. You have to start at “A” every time you select from top level play list or “artist”, “Album” , “Genre” etc.
Also after finally find what album/artist you wish to play and start to preview the tracks; All the sudden the word “stop” comes up on the LCD display and you can not go anywhere, no previous,next track etc can be accessed anymore. Then you have to start all the way from the top and go through all the A’s,B’s,C’s and so on. It is a pain in the butt!
If your head unit accepts AUX input via 1/8, connect your Ipod that way. You will be able to navigate much faster that way and avoid the stupid “stop” message.
I gave it two stars because it does actually interface with the I-pod to some degree. That where it stops.

5 Stars IPOD EASY CONTROL
Work perfectly! You can control your ipod by your car stereo. This makes everything easier and more safety for drivers.
