Product Description
SmartDeck is more than just a cassette adapter for iPod. It uses patent-pending sensing technology to determine which commands the cassette player sends to the iPod to achieve truly seamless integration between iPod and cassette deck. Use the cassette deck's forward and rewind buttons to advance to the next or prior songs in the iPod playlist. Pause and stop buttons do what pause and stop buttons are expected to do. Hit the cassette deck's Eject button or switch from Cassette to Radio, and Griffin's SmartPlay technology automatically pauses the iPod. Seamless integration between iPod and car stereo Made for iPod mini, iPod Photo, 4th Generation iPod with Click Wheel & 3rd Generation iPod with touch wheel and buttons

 Do Not Buy this product... July 25, 2008
This product is a good idea, but unfortunately, it does not work. You ipod will skip songs, fast forward or rewind unpredictably, or just stop for no reason.
Read the other reviews and heed the warnings.
Don't waste your money June 8, 2007
I bought this for my iPod to connect with my Corolla.Its not working with my car's casset player,I don't know why.In the label it says It will not work in some car players,So don't risk your money.
Bad News April 17, 2007
I have a 2006 Lexus GS300, and this item failed miserably. The skip function did not work, and the unit randomly changed the tracks on the iPod without any user intervention. And the mechanism itself made so much noise, that when the music was set at a lower volume, you could hear the cassette mechanism turning over the music. Top that off, the sound quality provided by the unit was fair at best.
Disaster.
 It worked... April 12, 2007
I really liked the idea behind this product and decided to go ahead and buy it. It works in my Acura. I did have the reported problem of "poor sound quality". This was caused by the device saturating the tape head (Griffin should add a gain control). This was easily solved by placing little pieces of scotch tape to the cassette head within the adapter. In my case, I used three pieces. This increased the distance between the adapter's tape head and the cassette player's tape head. It sounds quite good now. My favorite feature is the deck pauses the iPod when you turn off the car. I always forgot to stop the iPod before I got this product and would drain my iPod batteries.
This product sucks February 26, 2007
I own a Infiniti G35. This product makes a lot of noise and the skip feature did not work in the G35.
