Here is a users review on rennlist: http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforum...highlight=ipod

Looks like we finally have a solution for our Ipods.

 

Wow and so reasonably priced too. If you look at the ebay add, the ipod adapters for the other cars are between $70 and $75. But for a porsche a bargain at $600.

 

I actually was just playing with one up in our parts department. I look forward to seeing it in a car. Porsche has been talking about possibly putting a factory unit in the future but this is Porsche we are talking about.

 

does brandywine install them and if so how much for it teh unit + install

 

The porsche one is a MOST (Fiber Optic) adapter and alot more complicated the the other car adapters. R&D alone would cost an arm and a leg compared to the other cars.

 

call Ralph at 610-886-1000 he could answer that for you I didn't get a chance to ask him about it today I just happend upon it in his office while he was on the phone.

 

Remember guys, we're putting the group buy together for a reason....PRICE. And the unit we are dealing with is the benchmark in that field: Dension. Yes, it's late to market, but only because they won't release it until the damn thing is perfect. In final testing now, due for release any day or a week or so based on last results.

If you have not emailed about the group buy, just email em (eric@bumperplugs.com) and give me your name/model/year/nav/bose/cd info.

Thanks.

 

Just for grins and giggles...we have heard this from Dension for like 2+ years. I know it's not you Eric and you are trying to help us out, but if my company offered/promised/suggested...delivery of a solution and I missed this bad....well I'd be out of business.

 

 

wross, understood completely. We signed off in MARCH as a distributor, just for this product. But I do understand electronics take a lot more testing/troubleshooting that mechanical parts. Oh well, hope it is soon. I do get weekly updates from them on the testing/trials, so I have to believe it's very close.

 

Does video work?

 

With all do respect, Dension has really dropped the ball on this one. The product has been delayed from them several times. I even have a hard time convincing myself that the product exists. Everytime they are close to releasing the product .. something pops up and we have to wait another 6 weeks.

If you could get some screenshots or pictures of the dension unit; it would give me enough faith to wait it out.

 

from the ebay page:

"iPod video DOES NOT show video on the nav screen. additional components are required for this, and the iPod would then have to be controlled manually (not thru the interface)."

 

I'm still waiting for the Denison unit. If it gets even more delayed, I'll have an 80GB iPod by then.

 

I have a multi function steering wheel if I get this unit can I control the IPOD from the steering wheel? as he said it's like dealing with the CD changer
