More iPod integration news for MOST.

[laphil]

Just got off the phone with Dice Electronics regarding an ETA on the iPod integration for MOST systems. The rep said they are actually in production at the manufacturer and barring any strange delays should be out in about 45 days. Now I know we've heard this before (for about a year and a half,) but this is the first that I've heard that they are actually IN production.

Anyone have any idea how introducing a third-party add-on to the radio affects the warranty? According to the guy at Dice Electronics it shouldn't be an issue... just curious what everyone here thinks.

Lastly, I asked what the hold-up was. He informed my that it wasn't because of licensing (which would have been my guess) but rather these aren't off-the-shelf components and there was a serious development cycle behind the products.

Still... I'm much more encouraged today than I was the last time I spoke to them.
