Extends, retracts, and has been working for about a year now. Plus, its cheap! I wouldn't get anything else.

This product normally retails for something like $20 at Best buy and I got it at a steal here. I initially bought one that wasn't retractable at Best Buy for $12.99. I decided that I didn't like the cord, so I decided to look online for the retractable ones. This works great and it doesn't have the long cord to get in the way of my car radio system. Love it!!!

I had another not retractable cord which didn't give me any issues. This one however, seems to be very particular. It will work as long as there is no sideways pressure on the chord. but if the player is situated so that the chord is being pushed slightly to one side it does not make a good connection. This may be partly due to my player, but the chord I had before worked fine.

This product lasted about a year before I had to start to shimmy and mess around with the cable position to have both L and R audio. I expect it to die soon and may or may not order it again.

I purchased this for my car with the idea that a retractable cable would keep my car clean. Unfortunately, the retracting mechanism doesn't work very easily. Also, the cable is way too thin, enough to make you feel like it could rip at any point you pull on it. Low quality product that only lasted me a week.

Most have you have the radio. makes a world of difference - to those hearing you

I have a Pioneer AVIC F90-BT and would hear complaints from the people I called that I sounded far away. I decided to get this mic to improve the sound quality but unfortunately was told by the person on the other line that now I sound like I'm far away, in a cave. This was with the Sony mic in the same place as the Pioneer. Other than the Sony branding this mic seems to be exactly like the one that was included with my AVIC navigation unit but perhaps the internals are of lesser quality. I would imagine that this is much better than a built-in, but it was actually worse than the Pioneer external mic to which it was compared.

What you see is what you get. All the necessary parts and documentation are there, not that it requires any documentation because installation is simple. I've had it for a couple months and it's worked just as well as I'd hoped it would.

This is certainly better than just using the mic on the radio. My wife does not have to yell anymore for me to hear her. Very easy setup, just plug in and put it where you want it.

There isn't much you can say about a microphone, but if your radio is compatible with this one, installation is easy and sound quality is good.

works as advertised. a bit of a nuisance as in where to put it. i have mine under my deck. On my deck pioneer deh 9800BT it feels as if it was meant to be there. USB comes up as an option on the screen and once the mp3s are tagged properly it displays two lines of text. one for artist and one for song title. It also reads my 160 GB WD hard drive if conected straight to the adaptor without the extension..

Well, I called Pioneer to make sure if this would work with my 14 year old cassette unit KEH-P808. Their answer was NO and recommended me to buy a new CD unit. I just took a chance and ordered it from Amazon at 30 somthing dollar. To my surprise, it worked perfectly with my 14 year old pioneer unit. It was a top of the line unit in 1996. So my guess is CD-UB100 would work with ANY unit with IP-BUS interface (as long as your old unit can choose external unit as a sound source). CD-UB100 is a mp3 player that outputs analog signal via IP-BUS which also controls playing of the unit. The sound quality is excellent, as good as CD quality IMO (but KEH-P808 has ample controls to fine-tune sound). All of basic control function works including random playing. The manual lists all possible combinations of command keys. You just have to take some time and try those. I tested with a hard drive, flash drive, microSDHC card with a USB reader. They all worked fine as long as you have one FAT partition only in it, up to 250 gig(for example, a USB reader with multiple slots would not work since it has multiple drives or partitions). But KEH-P808 does not display everything shown on the manual. Just track number and folder number and first a few characters of artist name and song titles. The installation was straight-forward. Just pull IP-BUS from your old unit and plug it into CD-UB100. Then if you had external CD-Player, also connect CD-UB100 to your old CD player with the provided IP-BUS cable (just make sure you connect input/output correctly!). Only thing (for a non-professional like me) was where to tap a power line from. For that, I needed the installation diagram for my old Pioneer unit. And luckily I still had that after 14 years. It turns out the power line for my KEH-P808 was orange colored unlike the yellow color in CD-UB100. So i cut that orange line and connect two lines (one for CD-UB100 and one more for my old KEH-P808). And that was it. Just make sure you have installation diagram for your old unit. I am happy that I can play 250 gig of music in my 17 year old Honda with just $30 investment (my 3 year old BMW 5 series can not!) . I am also happy I've got a Pioneer unit 14 years ago and would like to thank Pioneer release this unit for a customer like me who like to stick to a product for a very long time.

This little add-on works like a charm. I use it with an AVIC Z2 in-dash navigation system. It supports all sorts of USB devices, including all varieties of ipod, and thumb drives.

I used in my pionner avh-p7800, I use my Flash memory 16GB, sometimes it's very slow but the sound it's fine. the only think that I hate of this product is that I can't see the list of files, only the song that I am listening, one by one in 16GB so its a b... . I don't know if works in the same way with all the models.

I wanted the module ever since I got my avid, but the price tag was steep. I even ordered it once and got canceled when it was on sale. When I saw it for 1/4 of what it was I jump on opportunity well knowing that display sucks, control sucks but otherwise it does what it does. After using the usb plug for 6mo+ I am very happy. I can charge the phone, I can use a flash drive (just don't try to find a particular song) or 2.5" HDD. Boots up lightning quick, as quick as radio (avid HDD if it boots up takes 20-30 second before I hear any music and perhaps 40 seconds before I can have m touch screen). So if you know the issues and can deal with it is a neat add on at phenomenal price.

keep it handy, you never know when one will blow. nice and small, you won't notice it until you need it. includes the puller tool as well.
