Disclaimer: I preordered an AudioTroll. I would appricate more exact timelines from Carl as well.
Matthew,
"They actually have some extremely talented Engineers, some of the best in the industry"
Yes GM does, however GM does not give a "rats butt" about iPod integration with Saabs because a simple cost/benefit analysis’s says that it is not worth it for GM.
BMW thought it was worth it and you got an interface.
Belkin went ahead and made interfaces for Europe/Japanase based cars (Go look at Best Buy to see if it will work for your car).
The simple fact is that SAAB owners can not ask GM for support because we dont think any support will come from GM.
GM will never offer iPod support for a 2001 9-3 Viggen that also offers..
Stearing Wheel controls
Direct connect iPOD interface.
Sirrus Sat support (via aux-in is ok).
ON-Star support.
I have searched for the above in a head unit. All aftermarket head units do not offer On-Star support.
GM is not going to design/offer a $200 device that meets all of my needs. While they could, the cost to design such a product is not going to happen.
