But will it do text messages?

Twitter and Facebook are cool and all but I care more about incoming texts then I care about someones facebook post.

Who doesn't have an iPhone now a days?

I don't think I'd ever use that Aha thing anyhow, it looks like a marketing gimmick to me.

Not that I know of, but why would you care about a speck of dust when there are fingerprints all over the outside?

Hmm...dunno.

 

Holy cr-p! You're the FIRST member of these forums?!? I think I just heard trumpets sound...it's like a rare item showing up in a MMORPG.

Yeah, maybe Jason could change the group to something different than "members" and give it a purple color (like his is red) lol.

Anyhow, I don't want a big tom tom in my dash and the AV screen looks like it's from the 90s.

Is he an MIT graduate?

Isn't your dad an MIT graduate Jason?

If thses are like everything else Sony makes they're going to be orphaned and not supported in 3months when they release their next gen navis. It never fails with Sony stuff, theyre worse than Apple in this reguard.

I've never hooked a SD card or USB drive with music up because the iPod works so great, definitely give it a try.

I've got an iPhone 3GS hooked up through the iPod interface and it's great. It does take a half second (or so) to load additional song titles when you first start scrolling through a playlist, but not bad considering how fast you gotta scroll to get into that. You can pickup a 8GB iPod nano for $149 and give it a shot. There's also tons of videos on YouTube, checkout the AVIC411 YouTube channel if your looking at how it works.

The iPad pulls a lot of power, the only real thing I use it for is the MLB At Bat app and when it's tethered to the Mac even when it says it's charging it usually stays put (if I start it at 85% it will stay at 85% until the game is done, or maybe pickup 1-2% over the course of a few hours).

My guess is Apple didn't have time to code the UI for when it was connected in 3.2 so they plan on finally putting it in with 4.2. Or they didn't think it was necessary and they wanted to be able to say 4.2 added X more features. Either way I don't plan on using it with the AVIC, it's a little too big to fit into my glove box.

Yeah, older cables still charge it, but only in Mac OS X. Even if the MacBook Pro is sleeping it says it's not charging, but it does, just slowly and not that it ever charged that quick.

Only "new" Macs can charge the iPad, talk about Apple trying to make stuff obsolete. Even my MacBook Pro won't charge the iPad when I'm in Windows 7, it's gotta be some driver thing Apple does to tell the iPad it's "OK" to say it's charging.

Will try first chance I get.

Wow that's not cool, but at least there isn't a "Magic Droid" or "Droid Magic" yet, Apple has the "Magic mouse" and "Magic trackpad"...

Bluetooth audio is buggy for me too. Try changing inputs a few times, like iPod or some other input back to Bluetooth, I find that helps. Also make sure it's configured for Bluetooth audio streaming and not hands free only. If all else fails try restarted the iPhone, sometimes mine won't connect to hands free until a reboot, some Apple bug.

No, that is how it works.

Personally I think bringing the iOS stuff over to Mac OS X is going to be the downfall of OS X. If Apple makes OS X a glorified iOS I'm switching back to the PC if they dumb it down and lock it down as much as the iPhone/iPad.

I'm not so sure about most of you Apple fans but I think Apple has gone a little too far with calling everything "magic," its silly. So I whipped up a photoshop making a mockery of the new big cat and call him Magic Kitty.

If anyone is interested I've also posted this on OSX411.com, AVIC's partner site: http://osx411.com/index.php?/topic/124-the-magic-kitty/

Happy *belayed* birthday!

I think you can search around a destination. So enter a route to someplace in the city, then do a POI search for Starbucks around the destination. Or look up an address online.

Glad to hear it's working for you now.

iPhone 4 running iOS 4.1 8B117

So you've got yours to work? I've reinstalled twice. My iPhone 4 has 4.1. Everything is up to date.

To be honest I never use AVICFEEDS but I just tried to save a location (both my location and a search POI) and it worked fine for me. It saves the locations as address book contacts, maybe delete the AVICFEEDS group and reinstall the App.

Sounds like a bug with the App, make sure you've got the latest version from the App store.

Considering it. It gives you infinite skips and that is what I want.

I've got Pandora One but I'm not sure that you get infinite skips, I think it's still limited (but I don't skip songs too often anyway). But the desktop app is well worth it IMO.
