Anyone see this yet? Anyone know the cost? Looks pretty sweet.

wow that's compact

These units went on sale to regular consumers today (earlier, they would only sell them to dealerships).

They're a bit less expensive than the SLi units they replace and they claim that the sound has been improved but you lose the AUX input...

any word on the new unit coming out with both IPOD and XM integration?? can't find any new info on it

Kroozin

I haven't heard anything about that unit but I would think you could just buy the regular SLI unit and connect an XM/Sirius unit to the AUX input(?).

bobbyt01nc

probably true, but if I understand it correctly the new unit would allow text reading through the navigation system for both xm and ipod...that would be cool. if i'm wrong, then someone tell me and I'll just go ahead and order the XM SLX? unit.

what is the advantage of this new unit over the previous ipod unit?

Kroozin

The new one is about $75 cheaper, smaller size, and *claimed* improved sound (I'd be curious to know how they arrived at the claim of improved sound(?)).

I was looking to buy one so the release of the new model was good timing for me. If you already have an older version I'd doubt it would be worth the time and/or money to change...

So this new unit is used to hook an iPod to your car right? Does it show all over the artist song and album information?

Does it conflict with the DVD mod?

Here's an earlier thread that will probably address most of your questions:
