Just bought a 2008 Chrysler T&C Touring with M package + power fold down seats, moonroof, sirius TV for $32,555 (without taxes/reg/etc). Opted to take 1.9% financing instead of and additional $1500 cash back. About $600 less than invoice as far as I can tell. Don't know about other areas, but in the NE, these cars are hard to find, they are taking a long time to build and are rolling onto the lots in small numbers so I feel pretty lucky. Also heard that no better incentives will be coming in Nov due to great demand for this car. |

I haven't tried watching a DVD movie on it yet. I guess I should at least verify that it works. I probably wouldn't have bought the car if it didn't have the MyGIG already in it. You can see it in action for yourself if you stop by a dealer and have them show you some of what it does. Did you see Chrysler's online demo for MyGIG? www.chrysler.com/mygig

Part of the 20GB HD space is used for the navigation database and other things. I don't know how much is reserved for music files or how they arrived at the 1,600 song figure. |

The more I think about it the more I agree with you. Apple doesn't let you do anything with that I-Pod and protects themselves well. I'm surprised that a company like the WSJ would not have realized that much. As for the interface display - nothing is going to be as good as an IPod right now. That is why they sell so well even though so many competitors exist. Bought my kids an imitation IPod a year ago for X-mas. It immediately got returned for an IPod. Kids won't have anything except an IPod because of the likability of the interface. If someone is expecting Apple to come in and design an interface as nice as an IPod - you'd add at least a grand or two to the price of the van. Right now MyGIG seems adequate - not fancy, but that may improve in the next years models. Do those who currently have the MyGig find the Navi system easy to use?

Replying to: maryh3 (Nov 03, 2007 6:33 am) http://www.harmankardon.com/drive-1/ The Ford SYNC system is really cool, it recognizes songs, artists, playlists. It can even read you your emails and text messages. But, alas, they dropped their minivans. However, Ford's proprietary agreement ends in 09 so, other vehicles will offer it. On Ford vehicles it only costs $395 and doesn't have any renewal costs associated with it. All you need is a Bluetooth phone and an MP3 player. Hopefully it will be that inexpensive on other vehicles. Oh and Apple and VW have a similar system that will be introduced soon. I worry about the hard drive in the Migig system, hard drives fail eventually. What's that gonna cost? And will I still be able to use my stereo without it? Personally, I'd rather just have a nice interface with my iPod and forego the other stuff.
