Has any1 tried the Harman Kardon Drive + Play?

Ok , i saw this on the apple store, i was wondering if any1 has tried it? I am almost at driving age and i am getting a new truck when i can drive and i want my nano to be incorpurated into it in a cool way. this looks cool, but i just dont know. in two years do u think it will come out with a color screen? and how does it work with the nano?

I installed the system into my 2006 Lexus IS250. There's a grounding issue with my car when an iPod is plugged into both the auxiliary port and the power (not involving the drive+play, but wanted to let people know). I solved the issue by buying "The Silencer" by Monster, which does a good job of cutting out the feedback. The system itself is pretty good. Yeah, there are some issues with finding songs; the spring-loaded twist knob pales in comparison to the iPod scroll wheel. But with my car, I can hide everything in my center console while seeing what songs I'm playing, which beats opening the console every time I want to change a song or pick a different playlist. I previously had an iJet RF remote control, but it just wasn't as good.
The display is small enough that it can be optimally placed. You'll have to try it out for both that and the control knob.
Note that if you do install this, software issues will require you to downgrade your iPod software to the 2004-11-15 update until Apple can fix the problem. Search the forums for my other post.
You have to try out this system for yourself; you can get it at Circuit City and they have a 30-day return policy. Just install it by hand in your car (don't mount anything) and see if it works first. Then, if it does, get it professionally installed; otherwise, return it.

    We kind of agree...we would have like to have seen a high res color screen instead of the old iPod style display.
    The one nice feature of this bigger screen is the multi-line text. Most head units only display one line.
    This was a $200 upgrade...a new head unit with iPod connections would have been a bit more. For folks with older headunit that they like, this is one way to go
    If we were starting out fresh...we may not have installed it. we may still pull it after we finish with the carputer project....we would have the full iTunes library on the Mac mini running iTunes on a 7" color screen. so the H+P would be redundant.

  • Harman Kardon drive and play

    I have a harman kardon drive and play fitted to my car that works fine with all my older apple stuff. I am now in possession of later generation apple iPhone and iPod touch with a different plug. I have purchased an adaptor to interface the old type plug with a new plug, but it does not work with the harman kardon The adaptor works when i use through the computer via an old apple cable and an iPhone 5 with the later type plug.
    Any ideas how i could interface my new iPod touch through the HK Drive and play?

    Does anyone know if the Harman Kardon Drive and Play unit will work with the Iphone 3G.
    It does. Click here for more information.

  • Harman kardon go +play

    i recently bought the harman kardon go + play, however i cannot get the s-video connection to work with my tv. the ipod is an 80gb classic and i have it set to video out, however it comes up with the error message "connect video accessory" and won't recognise the hk go + play when its connected, any ideas anyone ??

    The latest crop of iPods require an authentication chip in video cables. It sounds as if you have a device which doesn't meet these newer requirements.

  • Harman Kardon Go+Play compatible with ipod touch gen1?

    Is the Harman Kardon Go+Play compatible with the first generation of iPod touch? I ask cause there are a couple of music systems, especially portable ones, which don't take sound from the gen 1 touch.

    I would check their website or packaging.

  • Has anyone tried the new MS Oracle DataProvider ?

    Hi all.
    Has anyone tried the Microsoft issued Oracle .Net data provider? I am not fond of switching horses in midstream (have been struggling with ODP for a few weeks). I do not like the ODP for these reasons...
    1) Documentation is really non-existant/useless especially where hueristics and 'gotchas' are concerned
    2) it is a HUGE install (why I have no idea)
    3) some things simply do not work (like my recent rants on trying to return varchar2's from stored procs and functions).
    Is the MS any better ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    1) There is a pdf doc and integrated help which comes with the ODP.NET. There are a few gotchas which could cause some hair-pulling moments. Sometimes it helps to read the same doc several times to really know what to do.
    But instead of wasting time reading the doc, the samples cover most of the typical cases. (i think it includes your varchar2 output bind case).
    2) The huge install is due to Oracle Client 9. The provider needs several dlls beyond Oracle.DataAccess.dll and OraOps9.dll. There are some other oracle standard dependencies also. MS provider for oracle will have the same issue (I think they need oracle client install also).
    There a few post where the `Instant client install` is going to solve that.
    But the thin client (like JDBC thin driver for oracle) is still (IMHO) the best solution for the huge install problem.
    3) See my reply in the other post. (try the sample also)
    Finally, which some other posters have mentioned before: Good luck looking for help for MS's provider when you are stuck.

  • Has anyone tried the Yosemite beta?

    Has anyone tried the Yosemite beta?  Or shall I just wait for the official version to come out?

    Beta OS software should only be installed on a test machine, NEVER a primary device, and honestly only by someone with a compelling reason (testing, development).
    Yes, wait for final version this fall.

    I have had my iPhone 3Gs calender sync. break several times,
    and honestly none of them seem to be my "fault". I stumbled across this app. and for $6 I'd take the cowards way out rather than try to fix my current broken sync. problem with iTunes. Has anybody tried this?

    Vlingo doesn't consume all the app memory space itself... it can be used by a number of factors, including the browser cache.
    Your unintall of Vlingo also caused a reboot of the device in which all the free memory space was cleared, from routine use of the BB device.

  • Has anyone tried the Belkin Lego case on an iPhone 5C?

    I'm wondering if anyone has tried the case. I compared my iPhone 5C to an iPhone 5 and there's was little difference between the two, but the iPhone 5 case (hard plastic case) didn't fit the iPhone 5C cause it's a tiny bit wider. I'm pretty sure that if the case is made of rubber it will fit, but I would love to confirm it before buying it.
    I also tried to contact the manufacturer (Belkin) but they weren't helpful.
    Any help is apreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Has anyone tried the suggestion from the macfixit site

    see my earlier post, "painfully slow connection".
    Has anyone tried installing the combo 10.4.5 update from the mac support site.
    my imac came with 10.4.4 so I assume autoupdate just installed the latest delta, but perhaps there is a problem with the installer and an incorrect library version was linked with the library. Just surmizing , but that could cause a problem.
    Anyway reinstalling the update won't hurt anything I don't think anyway.

    I tried it and it didn't do anything noticable. At first I downloaded the PPC version by mistake and it wouldn't accept it. A little more digging turned up the intel version. But again no change.
    What I found that is working for me is setting up my router to work in "b" wireless mode instead of "g" or "b/g". It has solved the problem for now and since the speed to the router still exceeds that of my ADSL line I have noticed nothing but fast and consistent internet access.

  • Has anyone tried the Hong Kong Iphone bluetooth knock off listed on Ebay?

    I was just wondering if anyone has tried the bluetooth knock off listed in Ebay?
    It looks alot like the Apple one, I have now offically lost 2 of the Apple ones and really do not like paying $130.00 each time I loose one. I was wondering if the sound quality was close at all to Apple's.
    Thanks

    My brother recently bought it off ebay. He is very unhappy with it and feels like he wasted his money. He said that it been failing to connect to the internet and that the music ("ipod") part does not work well and is not even comparable to the iphone.

  • Has anyone tried the Zeiss Screen Eraser on their iphone 5?

    Carl Zeiss company is known for fine optical gear.  When I tried locally to find a flat-weave microfiber cloth for cleaning my iPhone 5, all I could find was a kit with the cloth and a Zeiss Screen Eraser, made for cleaning LCD screens and touch screens.  The Zeiss Screen Eraser contains a soft sponge moistened with a solution that does not contain alcohol or ammonia.  The pictures on the package show what looks like a Kindle or iPad, a Blackberry-type phone, and a laptop.  So far I have resisted trying it on the oleophobic screen of My iPhone 5, using only the microfiber cloth, which by the way is high quality, which you would expect from Zeiss.  I would very much love for Apple to test the Zeiss Screen Eraser and see whether it is safe to use on iPhone screens.  In the meantime, has anyone in the community been brave or foolish enough to test it themselves?  Thank you.
