I installed mine last night. It's kind of a mess and a little bit slow sometimes. If I leave the radio screen for the navigation screen the radio sound turns off.

My iPhone4 works fine with the iPod connection, but the sound quality isn't nearly as good as my factory stereo's iPod connection.

All-in-all it does the job, for $450 shipped it's a good deal. The interface menus are real ugly though.

Toy, you said you ditched the iGo navi app? Is the TOM TOM one much better? Any other suggestions?

Actually, I ditched Route 66 and still running the iGO NAVI -- I think it's great

What did you mean the radio turns off if you leave the radio screen (with Nav/GPS running)?

I played with it some more and I too like Route 66.

When I leave the "radio" screen and go to the "navi" screen the music from the radio stops playing. Do they all do that? It seems that you can only run one at a time.

I'm really liking it. I'll have some photos up after work today. I'm also playing with the wolfncu program you linked to earlier in this post.

Chris you should be able to listen to radio, CD, MP3's, watch dvd/movies (pip), etc. during Nav.

I too had that problem before but I figured it out after tweaking around with the menus.

1) Get to the GPS main settings (see image below) and try this:

2) touch anywhere on the screen and you'll notice a small yellow lock in the upper left hand corner.

3) Click on the yellow lock icon quickly since I think you only have a second or two before it disappears.

4) Set you default "source" which ever you like to listen to during GPS Navigation.



Hope this helps.

cheers.
