Q

Crutchfield asked: Why did you buy this?

Bought the main unit a while ago and now needed a cable to replace the original. Crutchfield (athena) had it in stock and I ordered it today. Fast customer service and easy to order. Thank you Athena. [ allan Mar 13, 2019 ]

I have the older cable that does not charge iPod/iphone and my daughter uses her phone for music using the USA SPEC PA-12 interface through the cars factory XM module. Im hoping this works to charge her phone while playing music, other wise I may have to look to upgrade her head unit to a newer model that supports bluetooth streaming. [ Brett Jan 20, 2019 ]

Replacing the cable I have that went bad [ MICHAEL Sep 13, 2017 ]

This is a direct fit replacement classic ipod interface cable for the USASpec ipod audio/text interface compatible with multiple BMW vehicles. My 2003 X5 was used when I purchased it and the previous owner had the PA-12BMW interface professionally installed. The power seat ended up severing the cable and required replacement.

prior cable broke due to my fault [ ROY D Jul 09, 2017 ]

To use iphone with car audio system adapter and charge phone at the same time. [ James Mar 22, 2017 ]

I listen to podcasts while driving. The USA Spec allows me to connect directly to my OEM stereo head unit seamlessly. The sound is excellent. I purchased my USA Spec while using iPhones that had the older connector. Once I got a newer iPhone, I purchased the Apple lightning adapter, and everything continues to function perfectly.

HEY GUYS! DO YOU HAVE THE NEWER iPhone CONNECTOR? This one is outdated...I am well aware that APPLE makes an adapter that converts the end to the smaller nipple (it's what I've had this cable previously, which was very flimsy and broke within 6 months). Kindly advise ASAP with full cable model identification, IF at all possible?

We don't carry anything with a newer, lightning adapter that works with the USA SPEC PA10, PA11 or PA12 car adapters.
