“I was tired of the lousy quality that I got when I played my iphone in the car via an FM transmitter. It was always a challenge to find a station that did not have interference, and often that too was short lived and frustrating.

We were planning a road trip with the kids for our spring break, which involved driving 10 hours each way. The FM transmitter solution was a no-go for the trip. I searched for an alternative, and came upon the GTA kit while I was googling for instructions on youtube. The installation video seemed simple enough, so I ordered the kit. I was pretty pressed for time – we were heading out on friday, and I put in the order on monday.

Shipping was super efficient, I got the kit on wednesday itself. Installation was a breeze – the video was quite descriptive in what you need to do. There are some areas where you can screw up – breaking the plastic trim when taking it off, or chipping something when drilling a hole for the cable. Not hard to get right, but if you are not used to removing and replacing the trim, you might not be used to the right amount of force needed to get the clips out.

Overall, I think it took me 20 mins to put the kit in, and then another 20 to redo it after I discovered an extra screw I had not put back the first time.

The kit functions beautifully. I installed both the iphone adapter and the headphone jack. On our long drive, I could charge my phone while my wife played the Harry Potter audio books from hers.

The ability to control the ipod from the van’s audio controls is really great. I can put the phone in the compartment, and close it – very clean and uncluttered in the car (leaving room for all the *other* things to clutter).

There really is no excuse to not install this in your vehicle if you enjoy music, and even more if you have an iphone/ipod.”

“I installed the car kit today. Everything works great.

The installation of the car kit was simple. The video tutorial made it even easier and was a very valuable tool to my successful install. For the stock deck, there’s a compartment for an expansion. I placed the box there, so it literally took up no space inside. The cables were long enough to reach most areas. I decided to place my cable under the ashtray and cup holder. The cable comes up from the hand-break and into the storage box. This way both the iPod and the cables are hidden.

The quality of the sound is excellent! The sound of the car kit pumps out more power than the stock AUX port. The bass seems to sound better as well. The unit was tested with both AUX and iPod plugged in at the same time with no problems. The best of all, are the steering wheel controls. Instead of manually changing songs on the iPod, using the steering wheel controls allows me to shuffle songs without taking the eyes off the road. However, it would be much better if the iPod can be paused and play using the dash controls. The iPod also charges and stops/pauses the song when you’re not using it.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the product. The installation took less than an hour, and the convenience and quality are fabulous.”

“Hi, I ordered kit for my 2005 Honda Odyssey EX and it arrived very quickly. The installation was simple, I just followed your video, however the panel clips were much tighter than you show.
iPod connection works great – both iPhone 4 and iPod classic are charging through the cable and I can easily navigate between the songs.
I like “last position memory” feature. I used to have another kit in the past that did not have such feature and I always hated when my iPod kept playing after I turned off the radio.

Thanks”

“What a great web shopping experience! I bought my kit and quickly received my tracking number. I received it in less than one week and, helped by the YouTube video, I was ready to go after 30 mins! GTA team even took some times to do a quick follow up to see if everything went well… I’m an intensive web shopper and I don’t see that attention very often!

What you see is what you get. Really, I have nothing else to say, it is way to easy!! I’m now controlling my iphone from my Toyota Sienna steering wheel without all these awkward gizmos and it is exactly what I always wanted. The only thing I see as a future enhancement will be to display, if it is doable, the playlist’s name so we won’t need to remember their order!”

” I just wanted to let you know the IPod kit arrived and I have already proceeded with the installation myself.
The YouTube Installation Video ypou have posted online enabled me to finish in less than 20 minutes…and this was my first time pulling out a radio.
Everything went perfect and the GTA Kit is exactly like Toyota OEM quality I was looking for. Thank you very much. I will certainly recommend your company to my friends/family.

Regards”

” This kit worked like a charm! I do like to take things apart but not in cars and this only took me an hour to do.
Super easy install.

The only issue I had was trying to figure out how to get the cd player back in with the wires and box out of the way and I used a little bit of Velcro then tucked them in the back to the left. I also put the wire thru the ash tray and didn’t have to drill anything just pulled out the red? plastic piece and fed the wire thru that.

I have a 2005 mazda3 sp23 w/o aux.”
