So far, I have bought an iPod especially for the glovebox and it works brilliantly; make sure you set iPod control to 'head' and then find the 'list' button under settings while in iPod. There, you can select playlists and the like. Don't mean to patronise; it's just that I couldn't find it at first
Also, with visuals; watching DVD's - I find best option is 'ultra cinema scope' - as it fills the screen but the stretch isn;t too bad; of course you lose parts of the edge.
Great head unit so far! Just very very expensive here in the U.K
That's fantastic! I'm glad to hear you're liking yours as well. Thanks so much for the tips. I think I've finally got it figured out now... after reading the user guide probably twenty times. It did take some getting used to though.
I'm not sure if your model does it too, but on mine, you can move your finger in a circle in the middle of the screen to adjust the volume and swipe left or right to change songs. I find that feature pretty handy.
My next task is to figure out how to do the bypass so that it will play DVDs without the emergency brake on. Not that big of a deal for me, but my fiance would like it for longer trips. I'll have to tell him about the 'ultra cinema scope.' I'm also trying to find the best setup for my iPhone as right now I just plug it in and set it where the emergency brake is.
The head unit is pretty expensive here in the US also, around $500, but I think it's worth it. Not many people have heard of it, but I enjoy listening to Pandora while I'm driving. They made an app for the iPhone and now that my area has 3g, it works real well. Sounds great in the car too!
