 Works as advertisedNov 20, 2009
Coonects highspeed to the dnx8120. Works good, video comes through fine. During video play the video does not automatically show unless you press the "photo" in the top left hand corner once the file is playing. This works with my iphone 3gs no problem. Only issue I have is when the phone is connected the head unit also connects the bluetooth wireless headphone connection which needs to be turned off in the settings>bluetooth menu everytime I turn on the car... kind of a pain but a small inconvenience.
Well worth the price as it also charges your phone so its the same price as a charger anyway. A must have for ipod/iphone owners!
Awesome addition to my DNX7120Sep 10, 2009
I bought this for my Kenwood DNX7120 NAV/Receiver. I was using a USB drive to with my receiver, but wanted to play my iTunes videos, so I purchased this and an iPod Nano (4th Gen). Works great! Just plug and play. I can now watch music videos, TV shows, movies, etc. in my car with ease. Also, it is much faster and does not hang like the USB input option on this receiver. Do a search online to learn how to make video playlists.
 Almost PerfectJun 03, 2009
Running a DNX8120 Receiver with a 120gb 6th Gen ipod classic. Length of
use to date is about 6 weeks.
Overall I would not be without the cable. It is a wonderful way to utilize the ipod, which stays discreetly in the glove box. I only remove it to synch with itunes. It also works fine with my 3g iphone, subject to the same limitations discussed below. For $30 it's a "no-brainer." However, there is room for improvement. Likely, the improvement needs to come from the receiver's operating software, i.e., it's ability to display and play the content from the ipod is only as good as the software that runs it.
Observations:
No latency between navigating content and ipod response time. It works
as fast as if navigating the ipod itself.
Functionality Cons:
Cannot navigate back to artist or album selection from a song playing
within a playlist.
Video content does not display. Receiver says there is no video signal. It seems that the cable and the 6th Gen ipods are not compatible.
Genius playlist functionality is not supported. Big disappointment as this is the main reason I upgraded to the latest ipod classic.
Navigating pages is a little cumbersome. I have about 80gb of music on my
ipod which translates into pages and pages of screens. If I'm trying to get to a song/album that starts with M, for example, it requires a surgeon's precision and some luck to get close to it. Ideally, they would add a character list so you could navigate directly to that letter of the alphabet.
Occasionally the ipod hangs. The screen just displays "reading." Requires
restarting the receiver.
Only one thing wrong.....Apr 02, 2009
I'm not sure if it's the cable or my ipod but for some reason I cant play any of my videos to my Kenwood sterio system. I have updated everything but still no video so I'm giving this 4 stars, other than that it works pretty good.

This is my second harness, the first is on my wife's car and I liked it so much, I bought this one for my truck.
