Ipod Connection: CDC or XM mode?
Hi im newbie for ipod connection thinggy. I'm trying to get dice or usaspec.
Seems like people recommend cdc mode for those who like xm radio. i think i do want to keep my xm radio, since i paid for 1 full year.
anyway, my question is if i choose cdc mode, do i lose my cd/dvd player? (cuz only thing i can think of as cdc(cd changer?) is the 6 disc cd/dvd player. can someone please describe the benefit of each mode? thanks.
(im curious person and could you guys reply which module did you guys get? dice or usaspec)

ttribe,
So you bought the USA Spec Module, and it displays text from the iPod, and doesn't require XM text/radio to be disconnected? Thats what I'm looking for, I am confused on all the different things out there on these message boards. I just want straight answer, what will give me text from the iPod and let me keep the XM text?
Also wondering is there a solution that displays the Album Art work? (CD cover)?

As far as album art is concerned, now you're looking at trying to port video and pictures to the screen and that's a whole other problem for which you would need to add a second type of module. I'm not aware of anyone successfully getting album art to show on the navi screen in real time. That'd be a neat trick...but I don't think it's doable (or at least it FAR surpasses my technical abilities).
