Hi guys,
I just thought I would join and say hello. I work for Progressive Consumer Electronics in the UK and we are the UK distributor for Dension.
The thing that I wanted to point out to people is whilst you have a great dash in your card with lots of info displayed you aren't going to get the info from your iPod displayed on it. This is pretty much the same for all cars.
The main reason is due to the limitations of the cars headunit and the CD interface on it rather than anything else. When possible Dension always include the highest level of integration possible e.g. thier BMW interface. Some headunits that can display ID3 tags on can have the iPod tracks displayed but their aren't many that can do it. Another reason why full integration is not so great anyway is that the dock connector on the iPod is incredibly slow for data transfer. The best solution that we have seen is the Becker iPod interface (which I personally have in my MX5 along with a new Becker Grand Prix headunit) even this isn't perfect though but is as close as we can find. Unf. this isn't a great solution to your problems because everything is so integrated in the new Civic. This means that the best solution is really putting the interface back in to iPod UI mode and using the click wheel to select the music you want to listen to and using the track forward and track back on your headunit/steering wheel to control the track.
I hope this has answered some of your questions or at least given you more information.
If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Regards
Paul
Progressive
