Why would I need an iPod® adapter?

An iPod adapter allows you to connect your iPod to your car stereo, then access your playlists with your stereo's controls - a great idea for several reasons. One, you can scroll through your song titles on your stereo's larger display, instead of squinting down at your iPod. Two, you can route the adapter cable to your glove compartment or center console, so your iPod stays safely out of sight. Three, the iPod adapter keeps your iPod fully charged, so it's ready to rock when you leave your car. And last of all, some adapters bypass your iPod's internal digital-to-analog converter, using your stereo's superior DAC to turn your files back into music.

Our take on the JVC KS-U49 iPod® Audio/Video Cable

by Zak Billmeier

Take full advantage of the latest iPod technology in your car. JVC's KS-U49 iPod audio/video cable allows you to connect your iPod or iPhone directly to your compatible JVC receiver for high-speed audio and video transfer, while allowing you to surf through your iPod's songs and categories using your receiver's controls. Once connected, you'll also be able to view your iPod's album art on your receiver's display, as well as watch video content when you're parked. See "Details" for compatible receivers and iPods. Warranty: 1 year.

it fits Smart phones to JVC head units

Written By Tim W, SIlver Spring, MD on Saturday, August 18, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
what else is there to evaluate? only question is why JVC makes you buy it separately instead of including with their high-end GPS head units. Maybe they assume there are people out there without Smart phones still.
Pros:
it fits
Cons:
$$$ it costs extra even when you spend $1000 for a JVC head unit

The JVC KSU49 worked as designed. High quality cable and connectors. The cable length was more than long enough to make it from the center console to the glove compartment.
Pros:
High quality cable and connectors

None
