Looks like i may have found an HU upgrade.

 

Hmm, any word on when that comes out? I'm going to order an ida-x305 soon, although I'd imagine that new one won't be at a great price as the current ones are.

 

^ I'm with S2k007...

I'm close to picking up a 305 primarily for iPod functionality. And, on a separate note, I've been about a step away from pulling the trigger on an iPhone. I really do like the Pandora app (I've used in on my iPod Touch quite a bit within Wifi networks).

I'd be curious about the timing...

 

With the KCE-400BT paired up with the X305, is it possible to listen to Pandora through the Bluetooth connection?

 

I hope the UI is good. I have a Premier HU that has a crap UI for my iPhone, I am almost ready to run a separate aux line and go back to controlling the ipod through the phone not the HU. Pandora is so easy and friendly on the phone I will stick with letting it do that. Same goes with sirius radio, back when I had the separate unit for sirius was the best UI, i have since had four different HU's that control the sirius and they all suck including the Eclipse AVN 5500, a 7'' touchscreen should offer a great UI. Unfortunatly I want to keep my cockpit clutter free, sirius box behind the dash and iPhone in the glove box.

-End

 

any idea what the price on this will be?

also, i'm wondering what the difference is between hooking up my iphone to the current iDA-X305 and running Pandora vs running it through the iDA-X305S
