A good idea but a bad implimentation.

  • By A Customer from Vista CA USA on Tuesday, November 24, 2009
  • Pros: With the correct plug it could work.
  • Cons: Does not work in my Cessna 182 with factory connectors.
  • Review: This product did not work in my Cessna 182. The cable is intended to plug into a standard aircraft mic jack (I thought), however it does not have the proper plug. It comes with a stereo plug which will not interface correctly to a standard headset mic jack. Aircraft mic plugs have 4 contact sections as compared to a stereo plug which has 3. Now I understand why others have had problems with this product. If the cable had the correct plug I'm sure it would work.

Didn't work for me.

  • By Barbie from Yuma AZ USA on Tuesday, September 30, 2008
  • Pros: Lightweight, inexpensive (relatively).
  • Cons: Did not work.
  • Review: I tried the adapter in the aircraft and as soon as I plugged it into the headset jack it immediately started to transmit/interfere with the radio. I couldn't get it to work properly with the intercom. I will have to resort to purchasing the more expensive adapter. May work for some....but it didn't for me. When I called the Pilotstore they could not help me and referred me to the manufacturer.

Help

  • By A Customer on Tuesday, April 21, 2009
  • Pros: Sound is good.
  • Cons: Disables Radio Communication
  • Review: As soon as I plug this in, my intercom is disabled, and I cannot use the radios. Its fine when flying far away from busy areas, but not practical anywhere else.

Starts to transmit music to radio?!

  • By eceflyboy from Palo Alto, CA on Monday, July 06, 2009
  • Pros: Seems to be the easiest way to interface MP3 player with intercom.
  • Cons: Doesn't work like it's supposed to.
  • Review: Something is wrong with this, not sure if it's the stereo system or not, but I use a standard Cessna 172SP (2001-model)'s KMA-28 TSO Intercom system. When I plug in the music it would immediately start to interfere with the intercom systme and start transmitting. While I can hear the music fine, I don't want to be transmitting and wasting power, needless to say jamming up the frequency I am using! If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please let me know at eceflyboy at gmail.com and I can change the reviews.

No response from service department!

  • By A Customer from West Valley City UT USA on Tuesday, February 07, 2012
  • Review: I emailed this message to technical support service on Jan 10. Did not get a response!

    "When I try to use this with my apollo sl30 it transmits. Any suggestions?"

    After waiting a week and not getting a response I experimented with the adapter and found that moving the red wire to the black connection and leaving the black off worked!

    Considering the cost of this simple adapter I expected some type of response. Even an "I don't have a clue" would have been okay.
