Is there any usable search function on the iPod? That's the one thing that really bugs me with the 6620/IP106 combo..........no real way to search for songs other than just scrolling through album, artist, title etc. which takes so long that it's basically useless.
By time-alignment, I mean most high-end SQ decks have the ability to time-align each individual speaker so that the sound from each reaches your listening position at the same time. If you've never heard a properly time-aligned system you are missing out! The sound stage is amazing.
The "Seating Position" functions on the 6620 and prior Eclipse units is actually a pre-set time-alignment function. It's actually not too bad, but it isn't adjustable. It's fixed.
When I mentioned 2 or 3-way active capabilities, I mean the ability of the deck to control each tweeter, mid-bass and woofer independently. In this type of setup, your speakers are connected directly to each amplifier channel, bypassing the crossovers supplied with the component set. The frequency and level of each individual speaker is controlled by the deck and amp. This allows you to set crossover points wherever you want and in some cases, allows you to time-align between tweeter and mid-bass, rather than between speaker groups. It just basically gives you the ultimate control over your entire system.

Yes, this has a full iPod menu. When you select videos you get the seperate selctions of videos. Then you get the separate selections of which is in each.
I haven't played with it completely. I plan on playing with it more today and I will take a picture of the iPod functions so you can see how handy it is. I talked with someone on the bluetooth today and they couldn't tell I was talking on my truck. The bluetooth is very good.
The GPS also shows you where gas stations and other points of interest are on the map. You can search them but it shows you where they are during normal function. Pretty cool.
Gotcha. I don't think I want that much control. I understand the need and I'm sure its the sound of perfection, but that stounds like a lot of work.
The 7263 has gotten rid of the seat alignment, as far as I can tell. I haven't found it. Unless I don't know what I'm looking at.
I still need to read through the 232 page novel of an instruction manual. Maybe I will find it in there.
