Also, do you like Icon or smart link better for iPhone users?

Spec-dock install looks seamless, definitely getting one of those too!
you can use the icon drive with the itouch and tether. i did it myself for a bit. i dont have the install video for the icon, footage accidently got deleted but i can film it again and upload it but the icon was pretty cool unit, i liked it and if it could work for the iphone5 it would be the best,

between all the dension products, i love the gateway 500s bt the best, although it doesnt show album art, it works awesome with my spec.dock and works great.

the smartlink is good if you have an android, to use it with a iphone, it only mirrors, which is something i dont like personally.

contact specdock and make sure you know how you plant to connect it so you can hook it up better, email or message me for any questions, or them directly (i dont work for them i can only help from experiance)

glad you enjoy my videos, i plan to upload more soon.

Hello roskinc,
your Posings about the Smartlink are very amazing.

Today I visited a dealer right here in Germany and he showed me that stuff. Great.

I asked him one question. For e.g. what is about navigating and listening radio at the same time? Is it possible to navigate with mobile phone, watch it on CID and listen music through CCC at the same time? He said, he don't know, but he thinks, it isn't possible. Because the CCC can't play two sources at the same time.

Is it understandable what I mean? What do you say?

btw: Smartlink costs 599 Euro or 828 USD in Germany.

Yes, of course. They ship through the EU I guess.

Dension > Smartlink - Conexx Electronics GmbH

It wont work as when you select TV, the audio takes over for tv, so your phone. if you want to listen to radio, the CCC will no display the dension.

select denion will only play from what the phone is playing, if radio is that necessary, i would download a radio app.

Thank you for explaining. Its a pity, cause listening to radio through phone needs to much mobil data, which is expensive here in Germany.

Maybe a last question. I have a CD Changer in my glovebox. In your video you don't have one. Does it work with the Smartlink or is it necessary to remove it?
