  1. man this really has me concerned about by 2006 ford fusion. I know there is a $130 harness for it. I have the cheap one though. Does anyone know if this is true with the 06 ford fusion? I did get in an accident, rear-ended from 30mph with this installed an my airbags DID NOT go off. Just want to make sure thats normal
  2. yeah i posted about this a while back but never got a response... If you press the menu button within the first few seconds of selecting an artist and song it goes back one level... after you let it play it goes to the genre, playlist, etc page. Let me know if you figure it out!
  3. is this for the maps on the avic navigation or for igo using the launcher?
  4. That's not true. It depends on the model and year. Many Fords and Lincolns do have the feature implemented in the stock radios. They get the data from the CAN bus, or other data buses. Some don't have a switched power connection to the radio at all. Your one experience with one car does not give you the ability to make a blanket statement about all cars. I never said all cars... my first 5 words it says "IN MY 06 FORD FUSION" So chill out.
  5. In my 06 Ford Fusion it has the delay where it keeps the stereo on ~10 mins until the door is open. I DID NOT use a harness as i wired it up myself. The delay is still there. It has nothing to do with the stereo. The car simply cuts all power off after a certain period of time. No harness is needed.
  6. When you select a song from an artist, it plays. Press the menu button within 30 seconds, it goes back to the artist's albums. After 30 seconds, it goes to the menu to select artist, album genre, etc. That's real annoying when you finish listening to a few songs on the album and you want to switch to another album by the same artist. You have to search for the artist all over again. SO: if you do hit menu within the first 30 seconds, the menu button does do this. Could there be a hack/mod to make that 30 seconds longer? That would be awesome and save so much time switching between arti
  7. yeah i took out the dock and bought one. I like it. the only problem i have with the wired remote is the center button only pauses and plays. It take s a while to get use to not using the center button as "selecting" or "enter".
  8. damn i never thought of mounting the av dock under my dash. i have no clue where i would put it lol.
  9. yeah i cut the wire from my ipod but it did NOT show the info and you could no longer control it from the z2.
  10. No problemo. I will post some pics very soon. I actually added a bit to it now. I bought a Zune dock with a wireless IR remote. I put the dock in my arm rest. Unfortunately the IR doesnt go through the arm rest so I had to wire up the remote with a extra IR cable I had. So now I can keep my Zune hidden in my arm rest and have complete control with the small wired remote. The Remote buttons are set up the exact same way the Zune buttons are, so again its total and complete control.
  11. So i decided I hate the ipod interface with the z2, even with genres as artists. It just takes too long to go through everything. It is so much quicker to use the ipod scroll wheel, and hook the ipod up through the av input or aux. BUT, then you lose the screen on the z2. If you use the aux in its just blank, and if you use the av input you get a black screen. That is what sucks about the iPod, it doesnt give you the UI with the TV out. I did some reaserch on the zune. The zune DOES give you the UI with a tv out. So now i got the best of both worlds.... I got quick and easy access by using
  12. So i was checking out the new iphone firmware 2.0 and saw a cool application you can download for it (yes you can now download applications for your iphone form itunes). It allows you to control your itunes and or apple tv from your iphone over a wiress network. It got me thinking about using a carputer. then that got me thinking about using a apple tv for all my music and dvds. Your iphone would act as your remote, which is set up just like an ipod. What would this do? Well, you now have a better ipod interface with your z1- z3 because you can control it from your iphone, still see artwo

    iPod tips

    i did all my "a" artists as genre "a" and so on... I've never sorted by genre anyways so i didnt need to know which songs are hip hop and which are rock.
  14. whenever i jailbroke my iphone i wouldnt get sound using bluetooth... guess it depends which version you are running.
