It sort-of works in my 2000 SportWagon with AS3.
That is, it works fine when the cabin is warm. If the cabin/tape deck is cold, it repeatedly produces TAPE ERR 02 messages, and it tends to send really freaky commands to the iPod.
I found that sometimes, when it's acting up, it can be made to behave by pushing the tape-direction switch and running it backwards for 30-60 seconds, then reversing direction again. (Unlike some tape adaptors, it only transmits audio in forward play mode.)
I suspect that this has to do with the various gears and rubber bands that mimic tape motion, and the expectations of the AS3's internal sensors and diagnostics.
My ancient, cheap Recotron cassette adaptor remains the most compatible such device I've ever used, even if it does make lots of gear noise.
