Ultimate iPod adaptor and 10Min install

[MVR 155]

I would say mine will randomly light up or ding about 1 time per day, sometimes it happens so fast I barely notice, have been running my unit for about 2.5 months and it really doesnt bother me much. I love having the capability to run the ipod without using a FM modulator as well as having control from the head unit that I can definately live with a couple of lights quickly flashing on the dash from time to time.

I like having the capability, too. Glitches like that are unacceptable, even if they are infrequent. Should not have to live with it at all.

AI knows the issues but refuse to deal with it based on the e-mails I have received from them. If they can not repair the problem, how can they say it is not going to hurt our vehicles. Maybe a class action lawsuit.................

Sooner or later, the dealership they claim to be putting all of the units in will wearing them out

Just shared a few e-mails with Keith of AI. He expects the new update to be out soon, maybe next week.

I'm taking mine out in prep for the updated version. Was just out riding and all of my gauges went to zero. My old heart can't take it anymore.......

They have been saying this for awhile. I did find this interesting, I was checking with my local Sound Advice to see if they offered an Ipod adapter for the H2. They told me yes. So I asked what brand, and of course they said the AI Nucleus xi. I told the head of the audio dept. about my problem and the many others that have had problems. He contacted his AI rep in Miami and was told he had not heard of this, but if there was a problem the current version 5.03 would fix any problems that existed. Obviously I don't believe them since I had to return mine and so many others have as well. I'm very surprised it has not been fixed sooner since so many of us are looking to use this adapter.

Has anyone used any other adapters with better success? I know another custom shop in the Tampa Bay area said they use the Pac audio adapters. Not sure if they are good or not.

My friend is using the PAC adaptor and his ipod pauses every 20 minutes or so, requiring you to hit play again. I think I'd rather put up with my little random chime every 30 or so minutes.

But i do hope someone finds a better unit out there since i get great phone support from AI about how it doesn't work properly, unfortunately they dont know what to do AFTER they get these complaints... like fix the problem.

You're right, they have been saying that for a while. At least AI answers their e-mail, whatever good that does. They told me I would have to return via Interface Solutions.

If it was just an occasional chime, I could probably live with it. I just can not take losing all of my gauges at once.

The FM transmitter is looking better all of the time.

I had the peripheral electronics one ... I've had it installed for about 3 days and I've only noticed mine chiming 2 times ( what happens is the oil,battery, water temp and gas gauge goes to zero and the battery light comes on and a second later goes back to normal)... I'll see how it fares with a long trip to san francisco

If you like the sound from a FM modulator then go for it....you may as well just listen to an old transistor radio since that is the sound quality you are gonna get. I like music waaaay too much to even think about crappy FM modulation.... I will definately live with an occasional light or quick trip of the gauges. Mine has been installed for nearly 3 months and it works fantastic other than the occasional incident, sure it would be great if they get the kinks ironed out but if they dont I have no problem living with it. I did a 3 hour drive yesterday (round trip) and it only chimed 1 time the entire ride.
