After doing much research about ipod connections. I came down to these 2 products. Anyone have any suggestions about which is better? I'm looking for something that will be plug n play, and gives me no trouble.

 

I use dension icelink, it works great. The only problem i have is sometimes i have to reset(doesn't delete the songs) my ipod before i pluging it in to the icelink, otherwise the sound would be too light, but thats a minor problem.

 

how do the steering control function? do they work ok?

 

Yep they all work

 

I forgot, the steering wheel controls are alittle delayed though, about 1 second, the mode and volume buttons are not delayed.

from the dension site...doesnt look like that box comes with the product. do i have to purchase that seperately?? if so, what is that?

 

I think thats an older version, the one i got is the Dension - I20 Honda R3 ice>Link:Plus

here is the link to where i got it: denison icelink

 

you can choose from what to dock the ipod with, i personally got the docking cable(unless you have the 1st generation ipod or a mini) and wired it to my glove box.

 

did you have to buy anything else with it? Any other connectors?

edit: nevermind

I wonder if the docking cradle will work with the ipod video

 

Nope, but if you buy from the site i linked, at the checkout page, you have to choose which kind of dock connector you want, other sites i think its the same too, but im not sure.

I think the only one that it doesn't work on is the ipod shuffle.

 

OK..so i order from that site...i have the new ipod video....does that work with the icelink??

While playing the ipod, the navigation works normally??? maps, ac, etc....

 

Yep, the new ipod video works, here's the link/proof: Dension Icelink

I don't have navi on my car, but i don't think that it should be affected, no one ever posted that problem here.

 

No problems with the navi. You need to buy an additional "Y-harness" if you have navi, but it's simple and effective. I personally like the icelink so far (I've had it in for about a month). I'm a bigger fan of the iPod UI than the Dension one, but it's simple to switch back and forth depending on which you like better.

 

I have my dension for 4 months. No problem what so ever.

 

I'm very satisfied with my Icelink too.

 

how much is the "Y-harness"??

 

If you have navi, I would avoid the Blitzsafe. My third one is being sent because of an issue where it will stop switching over to the Aux input. Annoying as hell.

 

I think it was about $35.
