It just looks like a long way to reach across while youre trying to switch songs while driving... I like the setup though.

I've never had any problems changing the songs, there are also two cup holders in front of my stick, but I didn't want a passenger to goof around down there while I'm driving, so I put it in that cubbie. I'm tall so I have long arms, anyone under 5'10" might have trouble? So should I say there is a height requirement for this mod? But anyways, I've never had any problems, the problems I used to have is carting around my collection of cd's, now I don't have that problem!

So, isn't that the same connector used for the XM tuner? I have XM, but would like an AUX input.

I'm pretty sure its the same one.. I dont know what you'd have to do to get both AUX and XM.. However, I wonder what the other plug on the AUX adapter is for?? Anyone?

two questions:

where is the disc botton? do you have to install this thing before you can get to the point where you can get to the disc button? i've pressed cd, am, fm, and xm(nothing happens when i press xm, is something messed up?) and i don't seem the button.

where is another website where i can get that device from? the website that is posted says it's on back order.

you know what's great about the 2006 tC. the upgraded stereo with steering wheel controls and an auxilary input so you don't have to add one yourself. *glote* but on my lebaron i used to drive i added a wired FM modulator to play the music from my PSP. the quality will always be less, unless you have an aftermarket stereo with built in aux input or ipod controls.

Just a followup within this thread. I purchased and installed the USA Spec piece and, aside from a minor electrical issue, have been pleased with the performance of the unit.

Most will be pleased to know that the Griffin AirClick has worked as expected without issue. I first mounted it to the steering wheel but it interfered with where I place my hands on the wheel. I have since relocated it to the emergency brake (turned so the buttons face the side of the seat) and it's fairly inconspicuous (despite its colour).

I'd definitely recommend it to those who want a RF remote to control their iPod while keeping it hidden from view.
