Default P.I.E ipod Adapter vs. USA Spec

I am about to buy one of these interfaces for my 2006 S2000. I have a stock Head Unit and i was wondering if you guys could share your experiences with either of these 2 products. I'd like to get an idea of which one i should go with.

P.I.E. iPod Adapter or the USA Spec iPod Interface.

If you can, please comment on the speed of the interface, navigation of ipod, the artist/song display, etc...


Thanks

I have the USA spec. Works really well. You can not control the ipod with it plugged in though.

There is a small delay(less then 2 seconds) for switching songs, volume I notice no delay.

I will be selling mine soon, as I am getting an alpine HU. PM if you are looking to buy one.

Theres 2 switches on the USAspec unit, 1 is to allow to use the RCA inputs and the other is to let you control your ipod manually. You might wanna check that out.

Funny story(without checking this thread before messing with it) I was pulling my oem headunit and usa spec ipod interface out to install my alpine cda-9857 headunit. Well, For some reason the alpine wasn't getting power and I had a spliting headache, so I just by chance flipped the two little switches on the usaspec box and put the oem deck back in. Now, I can control it.

Will be for sale soon(once my new modifry harness comes in). If anyone is looking, send me a pm or look out for a forslae thread.
