What displays on the radio screen when this happens? Is there a specific button press that can replicate this or is it random?

I maybe had one or two freezes while I was on the original firmware, however after this upgrade, it has been nothing but nightmares. These aren't minor freezes either, it's to the point where I cannot even reboot by holding down select and menu keys (I just had to let the batteries completely drain out) . This happened to me while I was on a roadtrip, and needless to say, I had no music for the rest of the trip.

In your prior post, you say you went from 2B2 to 2.07, then claim to have upgraded. Did you have a version of firmware on the ice>Link prior to 2B2 or 2.07?

Sorry for all the questions, but I need to know all the details before going further.

My IceLInk came with 2.07 from the factory. I upgraded to 2B2 a few weeks ago. I have had nothing but problems. I tried to go back to 2.07, it worked for a while, however now when I plug in my ipod there is no response from the IceLink.

What I want is simple: I just want to have a working IceLink that does not freeze my ipod and allows me to scroll by ipod UI. These are things that I enjoyed while on firmware version 2.07. Can you please instruct me how to reset the firmware on my IceLink??

We are sidestepping the issue here - the problem is possibly hardware related and not necessarily firmware. I would recommend replacing the module with Dension to be 100% certain. There are many people running v2B2 without the problems you are describing.

If you still decide to want to go back to v2.07 - email me directly and I will show you how.

Tom,

Strange how the hardware did not have these symptoms when using w/ 2.07 but would right when I switch over to 2B2.
I would return the unit to Dension, being that the unit appears to be defective will Dension cover the reinstallation of a new unit? I have forked $50 to have it installed by BestBuy the first time already.

Granted that I am not the majority, I am not alone in experiencing these problems. For the time being, I will send you an email and look forward to instructions of reverting back to an earlier 2.07 firmware.

Not sure, this would be a question for Dension. Since I cannot see the vehicle beforehand - I can only give advice on what information you have given me.

Looks like I am going to have to go back to dension again good job the impoter form the UK is only 10 mins from my house.How many times will they change this before they get pis**d off.
