Eclipse AVN30D / Ipod Connection

[kodiakz]

Unitil Eclipse decides to release software updates for the 30d or 50d, the ipc106 is as good as it gets right now unfortunately. I have spoken to their techs NUMEROUS times about some of the difficulties we are experiencing with the inteface. While the 106 is the best solution currently available for the eclipse units, it certainly leaves a lot to be desired--especially if there is also a sirius tuner in the system. I feel that they rushed this piece out as a bandaid to address all the calls for ipod integration. On each occasion that I ahve spoken with the techs, I asked if there was going to be a software update for the older radios or perhaps the release of a newer adaptor that was designed to function more robustly but they have absolutely no idea. I will definitley keep you guys updated if anything better comes along.

Rick, you could use a Blitzsafe UII universal adaptor and run rca inputs into the VTR input on the 30d. You won't have any text, but you will be able to run the audio directly into the head and charge the ipod at the same time. With that many songs on your ipod, it may well be easier to just use its own controls to quickly navigate your songs and playlists.
