After 2 weeks using it, I can't say I'm disappointed. It does exactly what it should do. My iphone 4 works (altough it is not official supported).
The installation.
I have never installed something like this before, but with the installation it went pretty smouth. It is not the most complex installation and I was more worried of breaking something from the dashboard than something else. I was afraid of the fiberglas, but everything went pretty good.
As some of you might have read, I had some trouble finding the right ACC and power. That is maybe the biggest disappointing. They make for every module a nice male and female housing so the cables are bypassed through the modules. But with power they didn't make this. This means you have to find the right powercable and cut at least 2 wires (something I don't like to do).
I have used the power from the radio, but I did not find a ACC one. This means I combined the both to the permanent one. I know this isn't the most sufficient thing todo, but after burning 2 fuses I got tired looking for it.
The NAVTV modules itself only needs a permanent wire, but the Ipod module needed a ACC one. I am hoping that the ACC is needed only in case a ipod is attached to load (which is never going to happen in my case since it is my mobile and a take it always with me). I'm hoping the module itself doesn't consume a lot of power when the ipod is not attached.
The use
Everything worked without any hesitation from the first run. Volume can be controlled through the steering wheel and the screen works like in the video (on my first post). The only thing that is strange is that the "next track" button on the steering wheel doesn't seem to work.
I will post some more pictures, but a video will be hard to make since my phone is attached to the car while demonstrating...
