Just wanted to confirm that any system that has your using the headphone jack as your "line out" for the stereo is going to produce significantly inferior sound quality. It will sound "muffled" and "muted" no matter how much you monkey around with the stereo controls. In my last car I had a system like this. In my new 2006 xB I have the iPod updgrade option and am using the bottom plug of the iPod. Superior sound! Sounds better than a CD being played in the CD player of the system. I'll never go back to using the headphone jack for any "sound out" . . . for what it is worth.

 

i need to be able to charge my ipod so i dunno. guess i wasted money on the pocketdock

 

You are correct in that you cannot access the podcast menu; however, you can create a playlist for your podcasts in iTunes and drag the individual podcast files into it.

I, too, was ____ed when I couldn't listen to TWiT until I figured out the work-around. Pioneer will probably need to update their firmware to be able to recognize the podcast menu.

If you don't get good digital output from your iPod into your head unit you will just get lousy sound quality, so, 2006xA you are making a big mistake.
