Re: Chrysler iPod Integration
 

My friend's iPod kept crashing, and he had to send it back to get fixed.
The technology keeps getting more and more complicated and "capable", but
this doesn't necessarily mean "more reliable". He's still waiting for his
iPod to come back, while I am listening to tunes on my 256M RCA Lyra, and my
even more Stone Age friend is listening to CDs.

Re: Chrysler iPod Integration
 

Being hard drive based, they don't skip when you shake them... they go
straight to crashed hard drive.
Would you take your laptop offroading? Then go ahead and take your mp3
player.

I think because iPods are trendy and this is DC's direction for Jeeps -
trendy.

Re: Chrysler iPod Integration
 

I bought my wife a 30 gig iPod for Christmas this time around. It took us
half the day to get it to talk to the computer. We had to find the solution
searching the internet. One would of thought that they could have put the
answer in the box, it was merely procedural (a mac thing?). It was a
Christmas frustration that I did not need, with my wife all pouty and all.
We did get it to work and it works well now and she is the happy wifey,
spending _a lot_ of time now on the computer loading in CDs worth of music
and walking around in another world with the earphones <grin>. Now, getting
it to talk to the vehicles would be a next step....
