This is why I have a Creative Touch. For 100 bucks less, better quality both of the device and sound.

Are you guys sure it isn't the software updates on the iPod? The same thing happenned to mine but it's not attached to the vehicle (Using an fm transmitter). It was freezing from time to time untill the batteries drained and stopped happenning after I reverted back to the previous software.

Matt you missed the point entirely... if we wanted a better product we would get it, we are going for convenience in this case...

I would check with MB and see if there is something wrong with your ipod integrator
