Dension Issues.

Dension Issues.
Does anyone have this unit installed and working???? Or should I say working properly. If so would you be willing to answer some questions, maybe on the phone. Maybe I could call you or vice versa. My unit doesn't seem to act logically and I am wondering if this is the way it is or what.
I basically have no menu functions....

I have mine still in the box! Was hoping to hear some war stories & comments before actually installing - considering there is very little on the boards about shared experiences (well, at least not in comparison to how much there was about actually ordering the units) I wonder if everyone is still holed up in their garages trying to figure out which wire goes where, OR, everyone's units are working just fine.
Will stay tuned - hope you get some action here.......

I think I got my working as well as it should and it is pretty good. The UI is not that intuitive, but I guess as good as they could do. To get question answered you have to email them and wait for a reply, that is no phones. It sounds pretty good. The first four playlists are easy to operate, the rest is not as good. It auto selects songs that are highlighted, which is a pain if you just want to look and scan ahead to see the songs on the list but not play them. I am told that that is the pcm not the dension that causes this. Otherwise it is ok. I guess I could use the aux input option and then use the ipod itself for control.

Just got mine yesterday and installed it today (https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...d.php?t=75250). Works great, but controls are a bit quirky. Probably takes some getting used to.

Ive commented in a few other threads, but here goes. The install went easy, and the UI is fine after you play with it for an hour. It makes sense. My software is extremely buggy though, so far i've seen the track list get stuck "loading" 50 % of the time, sometimes song names show up black and sometimes they are there. Ive contacted dension once, they told me to upgrade to firmware 1.04 which I have done. Didnt fix any glitches, but now the triple switch reset doesnt work anymore. Still waiting to hear back, it's been days now.

Doesn't sound like Dension is "bug free"

Shuffle/Random
NavTV could not shuffle play - at least not what I could find (and I won't know personally since I left it in the crappy 6 cyl. base Cayenne that I turned back to the dealer).
Can Dension random?

Yeah, I love the unit and what it does, but the glitches are really ruining the experience and I am anxiously waiting an update from Dension. Hopefully I will hear back from them soon, I just emailed them again. I've read pretty much all the posts on this forum and rennlist regarding Dension installs, seems like im having the worst problems, but a couple other people have experienced the track lists getting stuck on "loading". We'll see how this goes.

Just took a quick 30 sec vid of the problem for all those who are interested. Turned the car on, music is playing and the tracklist works fine. Switch to a different playlist and the music plays fine... however try to see the tracklist for that playlist and be prepared to enter the never ending loading zone of eternity. Am I doing something wrong or is this bad software?
