iPOD & MFD control

nope! not as if comes from the lot..... you still control it from the ipod

you can get a DICE and i believe that allows you to use the MFD.....

 

There have been many posts in the past listing problems with the DICE adapter though lately I have not read as many complaints. Does this mean that the problems have been resolved and the units are reliable and work as advertised?



Does the unit work reliably in a 2007?



Thanks.

First, if you haven't already, test drive the Touring version (sportier suspension, high intesity headlights, 16" wheels instead of 15" ones, I can't remember what else. But I really liked the ride better.

As for the DICE Unit.

1) For me and my 4th gen iPod the sound is MUCH better through the DICE Unit than through the AUX port.
2) The sound never cuts out but once in awhile the artist/album/song title will disappear. I can get them back 98% of the time by clicking twice on the Audio button on the lower left of the display (it's a phyical button).
3) It is GREAT to be able to see the artist/album/song.
4) It's another one of "those things" (like TiVo) that my wife grumbled about when I said I wanted to buy it. Now that it is installed she LOVES it and complains when we are in our Jeep Grand Cherokee about not having it in there. We don't drive it that much (17 mpg vs 50.3 today) so I don't know if it would be worth it for that.

Hope this helps.

i hated the ride in the touring.... waaaay too harsh! ICK! i felt EVERY little bump (including those pips marking crosswalks)... HORRIBLE!

i did like the look of the wheels much better... but i'm in the car feeling the ride... i can't see the wheels.. and with package 6 i got HID....

The latest generation of iPod kits have been very, very successful.

The HD's have seen a improvement as well, and we expect to see similar results as the iPods within the coming weeks.
