I've had this installed now for about 2 weeks. All of a sudden the MFD got "Stuck" on a playlist song and my steering wheel controls no longer allow me control over forwarding or reversing songs! :angry: Not sure what the dealio is with this! I can, however advance the songs from my Ipod but this is not what I spent $135 on. Let me guess......I have to tear apart my dash and get to the unit I installed?
What a bummer! You didn't say that you've cycled power, but I would think that was the first thing you tried. You might want to go with the full power cycle by disconnecting the 12 Volt battery for a few minutes. Can you still switch between different screens? What happens when you select a different mode on the radio itself vs. the steering wheel?

The title is "stuck" on one particular song however not the current song playing on the ipod! :blink:
do not know. I've had the MFD freeze on a particular L/100km in the Energy Monitor when the engine is clearly off and I'm in EV mode. Switching screens or turning the engine on solves that. Did you try switching screens or turning Title off then back on?
If the title has odd characters like a '.' or a ':' it usually will not update the title. It should fix itself once you play a song with an alphabetical title. You can rename it in iTunes or a tag editor to remove the characters and then it will work properly.
k..... It seems I may need to contact support at Denison. The MFD still reports the Title as the same song it got stuck on last week....even though I've played a couple few dozen songs "after" this incident, Plus the steering wheel control to advance to the next song doesn't work with the ipod (however it did work for the 1st few days!). I am able to navigate to other songs through the ipod which correctly displays the current playing Title. I'll do a follow up post after I speak to support.
I just let them know of this posting. Heywaitaminute It says you have an 06. Can you confirm this? The MFD isn't supposed to work on the 06.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(aaf709 @ Jul 13 2006, 09:42 AM) [snapback]285687[/snapback]</div> not yet......! I intentionally buttoned up the unit behind the dash to keep it out of site and away from possible damage. sigh! I have an '05...not '06
I have an '05 too, but not the iPod yet. I put mine behind the far right A/C vent cover, as I intend to put the iPod in the lower glove box. It also would make it easy to get to if I needed to (just remove the lower glove box). I really hope it's an easy and painless fix.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(bshef @ Jul 13 2006, 10:29 AM) [snapback]285724[/snapback]</div> Your account says you have an 06. What exactly was in the package 9? I thought in 05 it only went to 7.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Vagabond @ Jul 13 2006, 07:31 PM) [snapback]286007[/snapback]</div> Actually I thought it only went up to package 6. I'm curious too.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(aaf709 @ Jul 13 2006, 09:36 PM) [snapback]286009[/snapback]</div> The website default sets your account to package 9... so odds are it was just never updated when the account was created.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(eagle33199 @ Jul 14 2006, 06:04 AM) [snapback]286167[/snapback]</div> The engineers for the Dice were scratching their heads over that one. Ok, once I get some clarification on his package i'm gonna let them know about this again.
