USAspec or Isimple

Hey, sorry for another re-thread on this topic, if it was discussed. I bought an ipod nano, was curious which is better to use. Either usaspec or isimple. I do have navi already. I would like my songs to be displayed on the navi screen and my steering wheel controls to work.

Thanks for you time guys

Thanks for the link, I was reading about ISHD571, it says iPod text would only show on xm or sat button. My car is a Canadian. So would it work for me? I want something to charge and show on my navi screen.

Does the nano have the dock connector, or just the headphone one? Sorry, I have iPhone and Touch.

Both can work then. Sorry, if it just had the headphone, then it would have been different.

You will need to decide which one is better for you. I have 2 iSimple devices and they are OK. Good sound, but don't expect the integration to be like something from Apple. You get about 12-15 characters from the song/artist title, but you do get to use the steering wheel controls to change songs up and down. You have to use the buttons on the dash to navigate in and out of play lists.

Read up on each one.

This was my iPod solution, but text wasn't an important issue for me at the time:
