Center console touch up
 
So I sat in my CR the other evening and noticed a musty, burning odor. I didn't know where it was coming from until the next day where I found my iSimple cord had melted into my center console. Pretty upset this happened, but more importantly, boggled by HOW this happened. I managed to separate it from thr leather/plastic. Any ideas? And any suggestions in touching this up/replacing it? I'll try to post pics.

Oh wow thats kind of scary. Good thing it was only the console and didnt catch the whole interior on fire.

I would just go and replace the leather and center console with brand new pieces.

Yeah, that was my original plan. But I was hoping for someone who may have a cheaper alternative idea.

Lol I just bought a new console... Not cheap. Haha. No ideas unless the leather can be re done by an upholstery shop

Is it their product? http://www.isimplesolutions.com/

If yes, one of their cable destroyed my iPhone and iPod. The cable just made both unit inoperable, wouldn't turn on or charge. I emailed them about the complaint which at that time, the iPhone was fairly new, couple of months but the iPod was no longer under warranty. iPhone was swapped for free (lucky for them) and they cut me a check for $200 to replace the iPod and sent me a replacement iSimple unit. If this is a safety issue, they can get into a lot of trouble.

To be fair, I've had it for a few years. It's the iSimple I had picked up from Best Buy. I had it installed and it's using an XM connection. It's just bizarre how it just happens. I'll email iSimple the issue and maybe I can get the dealership to help me out since my CR is still under full warranty. But yeah, watch out guys!

Seriously, there is no reason that this should be happening. Thankfully it didn't do too much damage.... but Hoang is absolutely correct that the company can get in BIG trouble if this is happening with any sort of regularity with their products. Technically, this is a defect and the company should pay to replace anything that was damaged as a result... it doesn't matter that you've had the product for a few years.

I would suggest that you document every repair/replacement you make as a result of this and demand that they reimburse you. I"m an attorney and if you need any advice feel free to pm me:)

I really appreciate the advice, des_si! :D I emailed the company, I'll let all of you know the response as soon as I get it. Sucks though, because I'm afraid of driving my CR or even turning it on for that matter until I find the root cause.

I had the unit since 2008, the incident happened like a little over a year ago.
