Perfect and Professional

Jordan and the Goodyear Arizona BestBuy was the installer for my iSimple Connect product. He was very professional and courteous. I asked that he test out the Connect before he drills holes for the connectors and such and he did so with out hesitation. I was a little worried that the product would not sync properly with my vehicle but it did just fine. Jordan took his time to install everything and asked where I would like the USB and AUX jacks installed. He suggested a much cleaner and concealed location that was easily accessible. Upon completion he gave a rundown on how to use the product. I would definitely recommend this facility for installs. About 13 years ago I used to install car stereos and car alarms. The product is very simple to install but the price included installation so I figured I might as well let the more up to date installed do the installation. I couldn't have installed it better myself.

Not GREAT, but NOT bad

I decided to give the product rating a 4 since there is no 3.5. Though not a 3 average, ordinary the Connect is a fairly decent product. It will take a little getting used to and memory for the button functions. It does pair with my Samsung Note 2 BUT when the vehicle is turned off, the Connect loses the pairing information and I need to restart only the bluetooth on my phone. Mind you the phone does not need to be restarted just the bluetooth. Fortunately for me, it's a simple 2 touches of a button and it pairs right up.The installer also paired his phone successfully but the pairing information was lost as well when the truck was turned off. I attempted to make a call through the Connect, I had to speak fairly loud almost yelling. The microphone is set atop the rearview mirror. The call goes though google voice connect on my phone. I did not have to download any app so that was a plus. The volume is fairly clear and the recipient of the call said that they could hear me pretty clearly. The Connect does pair perfectly with my 5th generation iPod touch. It connects as soon as I turn on the truck and starts to play upon sync. The song title does not scroll or display as advertised. My steering wheel controls work perfectly. Since the Connect keeps the pairing information for my iPod, it MAY keep the pairing information for the iPhone but since I don't have an iPhone I cant tell you that the information will be retained. I do recommend to purchase a connector that converts the male headphone jack to a input connector it is much cleaner of an install. I added the information to the related products in my review. The USB socket is perfect and you can connect a thumb/flash drive or phone with mass storage. These devices MUST be formatted to FAT 32 in order for the
Connect to recognize them. The connect will only support files in MP3 format. The maximum amount of files the Connect supports is 8000. Over all I am satisfied with the product.

Does this connect an MP3 player like an iPod to an existing car stereo

Not sure what exactly this service does. I need to have a way to connect an iPod to a car stereo.
This is just for installation of product to your vehicle, such as a new car stereo or car alarm. If you just need to connect your ipod to an existing car stereo for cheap, I suggest to purchase a FM Transmitter. Or if you want a better connection I suggest the iSimple Connect like I recently purchased.

How can I upgrade my gps with the new maps

How can I upgrade my gps with the new maps
I update my Garmin through the Garmin website. I registered my GPS with Garmin and when there is an update I receive a notification email regarding the new maps that are available. Otherwise I suggest to go to the manufacturers website of your GPS and locate any downloadable maps or contact them. directly.
