Well, finally one is available that works for the RB(X) radios! Will work with the RB1 FOR SURE, and should have no problem with the RB4 or stock RBQ.
The iPod adapter is the iCruze, manufactured by Monster Cable- the quality is second to none. Regular retail price is a total 350.00, 250.00 for main unit, and 100.00 for the Chrysler adapter. An optional display is available as well for 100.00 extra, regular price. I am working on getting the price for the two main components UNDER 300, and the displays available for around 80.00
This adapter allows access to 10 playlists, 99 songs per list- readily available 990 songs controlled through your radio! Also, if you leave playlist 10 as "On the Go", you can access and make up playlist 10 at your discretion without a computer, and access those last 99 songs at will. The controls act just like a CD changer, with "Discs" being playlists, and "Tracks" being each song on the playlist. As an added bonus, the Random Play feature and +10/-10 track skip that isnt supposed to work with Chrysler DOES WORK with the RB radios! All components can be mounted behind the dash, and just the iPod cable run to the center console for easy access and safe storage. The adapter even powers and charges the iPod as well!
Song quality is at least as good as a CD! The iPods will not skip, no matter how bumpy the roads are, so kiss skipping goodbye. No more CD's to handle and store! (and scratch!)
I currently have 2 systems installed in RB-1 equipped SRT-10's, and the results are flawless. The only hiccup with Hard-drive containing iPods is that when skipping SINGLE songs with Track Up/Down, the first second of the song will echo, but then all is well. I suspect the smaller Flash-Memory iPods will not have this happen, as their information is accessed electronically, and does not need to spin up the Hard Drive. This is not a "Chrysler" issue, a few other makes I have seen do the same thing with the HD ipods.
I will modify the cables that come with the kits for a RB Specific plug-and-play install, eliminating the need for any external power for the system as Monster claims. However, if you would like the unit left unopened and unmodified, just let me know.
-Price will be UNDER 300.00 for main two components
-Group buy will run from the posting of this message until May 15th at Midnight.
-Payment due 7 days from group buy end date.
-Will work with all iPods that have a Dock connector and the latest software.
-Should work in place of changers in Sirius Satellite setups with MUX Boxes.
-If I can find enough willing people who have cash in hand by May 1st (I would like to see 25), I will split the group buy into 2 parts with no impact on price for the later people.
-ADDING YOUR NAME TO THE GROUP BUY THREAD IS BINDING, I WILL ONLY MAKE EXCEPTIONS IF YOU HAVE A DAMN GOOD REASON!
-I must sell at least 10 units for the Group Buy to be completed.
