Let me tell you a story.
I have the premium sound package radio in my Edge, so I decided why not give TripTunes a try. I had my Dealer install TripTunes on May, 1, 2007. It worked for 2 days. When I got off work on May 3, 2007, and went to go home I tried turning on my radio. The radio was dead...nothing worked. I took my Edge back to the dealer and he ordered a replacement radio.
The replacement radio came in on May 8, 2007. They installed the radio, but only part of the radio operated. I could get the AM/FM and CD to function, but none of the AUX inputs (sirus and TripTunes) nor the wheel controls would work. The Dealership said they needed to order another replacement radio.
The new replacement radio finally came in on June 11, 2007...a full month later
I took my Edge in June 12, 2007 and they installed the new radio. Guess what, the new radio works fine as long as TripTunes is not hooked up to it.
The Dealership called up Ford Tech, and they said tha there is a known issue with TripTunes and my radio. They wanted to have the dealership to take out the TripTunes and send it back so they could re-program it. Well I told them NO. I had them remove TripTunes and give me my money back.
Word of advice to all of you out there....DO NOT GET TRIPTUNES.
For the 2 days I had use of it, it was not worth hassle. Even when it was working, the interface with the iPod was confusing and hard to navigate. It would be hard for me to recommend, even if they get their issues worked out with it.
