Dension Ice Link & the Ipod!

Wahooooo!!!

Jacal! You're my hero! :awais:
Re-cranking the engine does work to recognize the icelink. You can even do it while driving. That's a hell of a lot better than pulling over on the side of the road, shutting of the engine and starting it again.
Now it we can just get a firmware update to fix the problem in the first place.

edz9876,

So you think all ice-links will/do act like this? Dension seemed to think I should call my dealer and get a replacement. I've put in 2 calls to my dealer (techappia out of BC) with no replies to the voicemail. I think I could live with it like this, and it would save an uninstall/reinstall + shipping hassels.

OT: We are both in Winnipeg? let's find a way to trade email addys.

jacal,

If you are referring to the head unit not recognizing the icelink about 50% of the time when you first start the 4R, this is a common issue. Other people have the same problem. I contacted Dension support and was told to wait for a firmware update. Was told it would be out in Jan but still nothing. Thanks to your re-cranking solution, the problem is not so bad anymore.

There are other flakey things too such as not getting the correct artist to display. I posted a complete list earlier in this thread a couple months ago. Don't believe any of them are hardware problems since other people have them too.

Overall, once you learn the flakey issues, I've found that I can work around them. Still like the sound quality and the ability to have hundreds of songs while traveling.
