Hey guys i dont know if this has been discussed or not but using the new iPod integration for 2008 models can you watch videos if you have an iPod video?? I highly doubt it and also is there voice recognition using the ipod?

thanks to all in advance!!

 

You can't watch video through the integration. However, you can still hook up the iPod via the analog RCAs which allows you play video on the screen while the car is stopped. Once the car moves, you cannot display video on the screen w/o a hack to disable the lockout.

As for voice recognition, I'm not really sure. I haven't thought about using voice recognition because the iPod integration works so well via steering wheel controls and dash controls. None of those iPod controls are locked out while moving so you have full access to everything on your iPod.

 

Except for fast forward... I miss fast forward.

 

Does it display non-english characters?

 

For fast forward you can hold down the track buttons (up/down) on the head unit, steering wheel controls don't do it though.

 

Are you talking about fast-forwarding a song on your iPod? You can do it by pushing and holding down the scan or seek down button. Rewind by pushing and holding the up button. This works regardless of whether the car is in motion or stopped.

Whoops. Missed CWeed14's post.

 

is there any hack avaliable to disable the lockout yet?

 

I don't think so.

 

Hey thanks for the fast forward tip. I will try it. It helps when you want to catch up on the latest podcast, and you have already heard about 30 min of the total 60 minutes. Usually listening to TWIT.

The integration with ipod, phone, other music sources is terrific. The ipod will wait till you have finished with ohter sources, and then resume. Nice.

 

I just hope somebody finds a way to retro fit the Integration system to 07's
