UPDATE::: For those who have similar issues, I have diagnosed the problem to be with the bluetooth in the MB1500. The only way I could get the system to work was to disconnect the battery for 30 minutes. However the next day after reconnecting the Mediabridge, it would always start unresponsive (cannot turn on, change source, etc). To see if the MB1500 was frozen, I forced the bluetooth to connect from my phone. When the Bluetooth paired, the radio instantly turned on and started playing the IPOD where I left off playing the previous night. When i force disconnected the Bluetooth from the phone, the radio was unresponsive again (cannot turn on, change source, etc). I filed a bug with DICE, so I will update when I hear back.
