BSW Soundplicity - iPod Integration System

does it lock you out of the iPod while connected? i.e can you browse songs on the iPod while connected? Or will it only play playlists?

thx

Sorry, I thought I had answered this. I will do so now. Once the car is started and the iPod is connected you have full control of the iPod. Right now mine is located in the trunk, but there is plenty of cable to have the iPod in the center console or glove box if you're interested in running the cable. It would be really nice to have it accessible in the front of the car to control the iPod but I've been too lazy to set it up right now.

So far, I have no complaints with the product. It works great.

Hey guys...
I ordered soundplicity and installed it yesterday.
As mentioned before installation is a snap.
I ran the ipod cable from the trunk along the drivers side trim, under the drivers seat, to the center console(they have videos that illustrate this).
I switched out my cup holders for a eurobin which is where my ipod is housed. The rear of the eurobin already has an opening so the cable fits right through.
All in all a clean set up.

Sound quality is great.
It charges your ipod.
You can control track up and down via the steering wheel.
I have oem navigation in my car and I cannot use the 2-6 buttons to select playlists(Not sure why but not a big deal since I have the ipod at my fingertips anyway).
The only other oddities are sometimes it doesn't pause my ipod when I turn off the car and an unusual mechanical/disc seeking sound. It happens when I turn the radio off and turn it back on or while using the mode button to go back and forth to fm. I have found that if the sound occurs you can get rid of it by using the mode button a couple more times.

All in all though I think its great and addresses all of the major issues I was concerned with: clean sound, charges the ipod, track & volume up and down via the steering wheel.
