Hey

Is it worth getting it for $150 used ??

Thanks

@thesorcerer01 Considering I paid over three times that and thought it a good value, yes. :) Reall, the only complaint I have is the UI is a little clunky. After all this time, I still prefer using the iPod's native controls to the controls through the head unit, and overall, the way you do things on it is tedious. But I so rarely do anything more than just listen to it, once its set, I'm pretty happy.

nice info vid. My problem is that I cannot get any sound when I am using the ipod (4th gen touch, ipod video, ipod 3rd gen click wheel). Nor does any sound come out with a CD! No errors, I can see that the music is playing, but just no sound. I've looked over the manual about 50 times and cannot find out how to make these work...any ideas? I noticed that yours played right away...

@ds1919ds1919 Sorry... I've never encountered that. Sounds like you might have some sort of wiring issue.

@mendezhm1 put unit in STANDBY. Then click the FCN button -> MENU -> change AUX : OFF to AUX:ON

USB cable is too long!

@I800C0LLECT Makes sense!

@71machei71 The "lag" you're referring to between the iPod touch and Classic is related to the media used to store the data. Solid state hard drives do not need to spin up. They also do not need to seek the way a head of a hard disc platter must do when reading data. Anything using non-volatile memory vs. a hard drive will be much faster in reference to "lag"
