Does Not Charge My Nano!
Bought this item so that I didn't have to use my Griffin iTrip so that quality would be improved - I also wanted to do away with the charger I have plugged into my lighter socket. This device connects to my Ipod and plays music through the headunit but it says when you plug it in that it will not charge the device. No use to me whatsoever. Navigation through the songs seems cumbersome and the screen on the Ipod has an Xplod logo instead of album covers. I will be using the AUX in on the front of the head unit and hiding the charger somewhere behind the dash. I'm sure this will charge other Ipods but it doesn't work with my 4th Generation Ipod Nano. Disappointed really as I thought Ipod integration would be great. Hope this review helps.

A very poor effort
I am using this with my MEX-BT5000 head unit. Right from the off the design is poorly thought through - the cable from the box to the iPod is non removable and has quite a wide plug on it to go to the iPod, making it hard to thread through holes to route through the car. In the end I took the box to bits and unplugged it from inside the box itself to give me a lot more flexibility with routing the cable into the centre console box.

Once plugged in the disappointments continue - sound quality is reasonable, however the navigation of the iPod is very, very slow. On top of this every time you turn the car or stereo off the place you are at is lost and you have to start from scratch next time you start the car. Navigation is far, far too slow to consider seeking through by album or artist so the only way to make this useful is to make playlists before you travel. You cannot even use the controls on the front of the iPod to find stuff, as non of them work when it's plugged in.

Overall an obvious bodge job by Sony. I have given up on it and just use a mini jack to aux input lead and navigate on the iPod itself, which I think tells you everything you need to know about the XA-110IP.

Good but could be improved
Although the adapter works perfectly with great sound quality it does not charge a 2nd Gen Ipod Touch. There is also the difficulty of scrolling through numerous tracks to reach your desired song as there is no search function. I feel that with a search or list menu the 110ip could be greatly improved.
