Their website has all the information http://www.usaspec.com/ipod.html
• Easy Installation - All cables are plug and play for easy installation.
• Adds Additional Aux Input - Besides connecting to an iPod, our iPod interface provides an additional aux input to connect other audio devices.
• Superior Sound Quality - True digital
quality sound through factory radio. [It's analog!]
• Uses CD Changer Function - Uses the CD changer mode to operate an iPod just like a CD Changer.
• Auto Maintain - Maintain current playlist when migrating your iPod from portable use to in car use.
• Auto Playlist Select - If no play list are created, the interface auto selects the first 5 playlist on your iPod.
• Rich in Features - Track forward, track back, select playlist, shuffle and random play are some of the useful features provided by our interface through a factory stereo.
• Auto Memory - Auto locates the last song listened to on each play list.
• Auto Skip - Skip 10+ songs in each playlist with the factory CD Changer FF
button. Or, skip to the end of a playlist.
• Auto Charge - Charges iPod battery and auto stops after 1 hour of non-use.
• Auto Playlist Select - If no play list are created, the interface auto selects the first 5 playlist on your iPod.
• Playlist Mode - Create up to 5 favorite mobile playlist then use the radio’s CD changer controls to access and control your playlist.
• Direct Mode - Gives user complete control of their iPod while it is connected to the factory radio. iPod is not locked out while connected to radio and user is able to manually access their complete iPod content. Radio still can adjust song up/down random or shuffle play but user must manually select playlist or Artist.
Note - Playlist mode or Direct mode must be selected at time of installation but can be changed by adjusting Pin Switches anytime.

The site says nothing about onscreen display of any kind, and with only 5 playlists vs 99 with Vaistech, not sure it's a good alternative for cars with screens. List price of PA20-TOY for Lexus is $199.95.
Operationally, this reminds me of the DICE unit, found at http://www.diceelectronics.com/

looks like its better than the vais! when i had the vais, i was controlling the ipod through simple mode. otherwise it was a pain using only playlist with that stupid 99 songs/playlist limitation.
