IceLink Plus is now operating as it should

Also, using more of the screen would be great... like the area where Sirius writes song info. How about a list of songs in the playlist.

nitpicking, I know.

i agree that it would be so cool if you could do selection similar to how the nav system works to select destinations. But progress is being made, and at least it's now stable enough to use

Agreed 100%, It was not very usable before the DB2 version.

First, NO MORE DROP OFFS!!!! It was really getting to be a PITA but no more.

Second, I have the text display on the Nav Screen. The song title is in big font size but the artist(s) is in small font size. Is there any way to make the artist's name the same size as the song title????

*I agree, it would be cool if we could see the playlist on the nav screen. Currently, it just shows the artist name and song title on the top of the screen. Underneath is blank and SHOULD at least be occupied with a Playlist.

AWESOME!!! FINALLY!!! It works the way it should... I was about one week away from demanding a refund. The intermittement turnoffs, reading the display from the tiny OBD, the lag time btw entering commands and it showing up on the screen was driving me CRAZZZZZZY!

But now, ahhhhhhhhhhhh.... this is how it's suppose tro work... THANK YOU!

It appears that the font size reduces automatically if the title can not fit w/o scrolling. If that is the case, I think it was a good decision.

Does your text display has underscore instead of a space?

The original firmware that my IceLink came with had the underscore. The latest version that I reference above now has a space instead (the space is much better, IMHO)

New firmware works great on my 2005 4.4 with Nav and DSP!

So far it appears to have fixed the following issues that I was experiencing with the older versions of firmware:

1. Drop to radio (so far so good)
2. Volume reduced momentarily during the first couple of seconds of playing a new track
3. Unable to get the settings screen after selecting CD#6
4. Intermittent text display
5. Unable to use other Nav/Computer functions when text is displayed on Nav screen
6. Poor sound quality on certain songs

Thanks to everyone at X5world for staying on top of Dension and thanks to Tom for getting this fixed before moving on to a new endeavor.

so if I go and pruchase the icelink, it will have the latest firmware you guys are talking about??? I have a 2005 4.4 with nav, but negative on the dsp.

Not necessarily. But it is an easy process to update the firmware. UCrew has supplied a link to the files and instructions.
