iPod Control with Factory Nav Radio is Here!
Re: iPod Control with Factory Nav Radio is Here!
Ha Ha. I asked for that. There is a "Nav"button. I don't have the manual for the radio, so I don't know how it works. But, I would love to be able to connect an ipod to it. There are a lot of pages on this topic (I don't want to go through all of them). So, is the procedure to prepay for it and wait? How long did you have to wait? AND, do you have any idea where I can get the manual for this radio? Thanks.

Re: iPod Control with Factory Nav Radio is Here!
You can down load the manual from this site, you can also down load the disks for use in the radio so that you can use the navigation feature. The nav is outdated but works OK if you can master it.

Perhaps it would be better etiquette if you had posted this in a new thread vs cluttering up this one.
As for the group buy, we've stalled at three so if you're thinking about getting one, now is a great time as we only needs a few more.
Happy Friday and everyone have a safe weekend!

rcompart, thanks for the great product and the excellent customer service. You were a huge help to me when I was having issues installing mine (see previous posts by me). Sorry you have to put up with posts like Brian's.
if anyone is looking into purchasing one of these products, go with rcompart's. i can vouch for the quality as can many others. Brian's hijacking of this thread is a good example of the kind of ethics you'll be dealing with if you try to go his route.

Re: iPod Control with Factory Nav Radio is Here!
I can vouch for the quality and service from Rudy...my ipod control is working like it was a factory installed unit...I believe the quality of the sound from my ipod/iphone and usb have improved substantially and the install was simple with the ipod control unit sitting in the console glove box so it is secure and acessable...I paid almost as much for a mickey mouse fm attachment a year or two ago so the price Rudy is asking is very reasonable....thanks Rudy for the great product and service it is very much appreciated.

Re: iPod Control with Factory Nav Radio is Here!
For my part, I would be willing to wait longer to get to 5. I am sure that there others out there who would buy one. From what I can see, you are the best (only?) solution out there. I would even consider a "short run" surcharge to make it worthwhile for you to buy the parts, but I don't know how others feel about that. The latter is only a suggestion for the other buyers.

I am one of the four, and I am also willing to wait! If a fifth buyer does not show up eventually, I would be willing to pay more for the unit.
Re: iPod Control with Factory Nav Radio is Here!
We are at finally at 5!!! I kid you not, I didn't think it was going to happen after the past few weeks but it's good to see that it did happen. I am getting everything ready to get these kits put together and will update the thread when they ship.
Thanks everyone and take care

Re: iPod Control with Factory Nav Radio is Here!
Hi Rudy, I'm confused. I have 2006 Roadster with Factory Infinity Radio w/NAV and wanting to play my mp3 player into the system as I don't own an Ipod. Are you simply bulk purchasing these units from a German Company SOLISTO and then reselling here in the US or have you developed the box with them? Your initial posts sounded as if you were building these units. Looking on the site Home | Solisto I see they offer a Solisto Pro, clasic and basic model in addition to a single cable connector allowing direct mp3 player connection to the radio for about $20.00 with player control manually not using the Radio buttons. Have you tried this cable and do you bulk purchase them as well for savings. I was going to order direct from SOLISTO but not sure if the cable works with the Infinity Radio. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: iPod Control with Factory Nav Radio is Here!
That cable is not compatible with our radios as a simple search of this forum would explain. As for the iControl, Solisto provides the hardware and I provide the support. I'm selling the only iPod controller that is compatible with the NAV radios in these cars regardless of how new or old the software on the radio is. As for buying in bulk, it only makes sense to do so or they would cost more and these are in line with pricing for their models for other car models. With the new iPhones, iPods and iPads coming out with a new dock connector, I'm going to fulfill the previous orders and cover units until the end of their warranty periods and cease selling them.

Thanks for the quick feedback, glad I didn't order the cable, I hadn't seen posts related to the cable but thanks for the heads up I'll keep searching. I'm strictly a PC fellow no Apple Products for me, refusing to move to the dark side. I would think if the Radio is equipped to handle a CD Changer audio input then I should be able to rig a mp3 audio input through that same portal. I found the Radio Pin out description so it's time to play.
