In spite of looking in every forum and technical support group and in spite of calling Dension product support, I was able to get only an ambiguous answer to what I thought was a very basic question: Will the in-dash CD changer in my SII still work if I install an IceLink?
The answers I found ranged from No to Maybe to Yes But You'll Lose Your Sat Capabilities. My IceLink was installed today (cradle in glove box in top-right CD slot) and I am delighted to report that
everything (and that includes Sat) still works. The in-dash changer is accessed by a single push of the CD button and the iPod by two pushes; CDC mode which I finally interpreted as CD Changer. The Sat input is still available if I ever want it.
To me, this is the best of all possible worlds and erases forever any doubt that I might have had about selecting the A4 over the Volvo V50. Vive l'iPod!
