Yep. It's well worth the effort though. Not too different from diffusing a bomb.

NAK

Unit 1 - USA-SPEC PA-20
Car: Lexus IS350 with Mark Levinson
Connection: 12-pin CD/SAT port

Input signal 1kHz, 0 db (channel 2, purple line)
Signal Source iPod Video 5.5Gen
Output signal - inverted output used for better understanding (channel 1, yellow "line")

As you can see output signal modulated (distorted)

NAK

better "Zoom"

NAK

now CH1 (yellow) - Left output , CH2 (purple) - Right output
at 3kHz. I do not know how we can talk about THD here

NAK

"Frequency Response"

Input signal (CH2 purple - 440Hz square wave)
Output signal (CH1 yellow)
Not even close to be good!

NAK

Now different USA-SPEC PA-20 unit...

Difference in amplification between left and right channels are more than visible.

This one was pretty close to burn my amplifier

NAK

to be continued....

So I take it the discrepancy between purple and yellow lines shows the distortion caused by the USA Spec adapter?

i3urton

so this kit is also plug and play?

NOVAGFC350

Yes, it is. It charged the ipod while its in use as well. Pretty much the same functionality as the OEM Lexus Ipod Adaptor kit, however this one use CD Changer emulator instead of SAT as for the OEM kit. In addition to this, you still be able to use/install the OEM SAT radio (Sirius or XM) adaptor kit along with it if you like.

So what is the bottom line? Is this unit decent or not?

NOVAGFC350

Its working great as advertised I'm very pleased that I got it. Does that answer your question?
