    Just bought it!
    I bought one of these things for my truck, what a piece of junk. It stops working every other week. I have to pull out my entire stereo, unhook everything, reinstall it, and I may get an extra week or two out of it. This last time I used it once and then it stopped again. I called Grom but of course they only promise the adapter will work for 30 days and after that it's just tough luck.

    I was really excited to get it so I could listen to Pandora when I was driving but it just turned out to be a waste of my money. Just wanted to rant for a minute so other people may think about it before spending their money on it like I did.

    Funny, I've had mine in for over two years, never had a problem.

    +2........mine is the USB one. I use flash drive more than aux or ipod. Has worked flawlessly. There is an upgrade for it to play shit via usb off my android phone where I have more mp3s and also have the iheart app but have not done the update yet so not sure how good that might turn out.

    Did you guys get the blue tooth option or just hard wire? Looking for a blue tooth solution for 2007 Tacoma. Thanks.

    I had one in my last car. Worked great, but the cable would come loose and not work. Finally took the head unit out and taped the cable to the box. End of problem.

    I've had the bluetooth version installed in my truck for about 4 months. Works great so far (fingers crossed).
