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?

Just an FYI, Harman Kardon makes an iPod interface that's been getting rave reviews.

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.

Its a little misleading when MyGIG touts a 20gb harddrive, when only 6 gb is usable for music files. Does anyone know the limit for picture files?
 
Sirius TV picture quality is a little grainy, but I don't think you can expect much better - after all, you are watching TV in your CAR!!!

Hi,
Read your message & I'm getting the same T&C in PA. but after getting dealer down to invoice he says I have to pay
Phila. Metro PPA/EB-PF fee of $210.00 and
Phila. Metro DDA fee of $445.00 all passed on to the dealer through Chrysler. Is this real & did you have to pay anything like it or are they just making up lost profit with a bunch of B S.

Hi -
 
There was a bs 'we charge metro areas a random you must be rich tax', but those were all figured into the invoice price. Thats why my invoice price was higher than the one calculated on edmunds.
 
Sounds like it could be legit. Which options and what price did you end up with before taxes/docs? Did you get an actual copy of the invoice? As I mentioned before, when it was all said and done, I was at 32555, then there was tax and titles and a few other random charges. I'll check for more detail when I get home.

Well I just did it -- just bought a Limited with a Chrysler Employee discount. Happy with THAT final price. Rebate is nice as is that warranty!! Special ordered mine though to get the colors I want. 4-6 weeks and it will be here!! I can wait because I have a 2000 Chrysler T&C with 170K on it. Have had no problems except a fuel pump at 167K. I KNOW this is a good product.

I got the same DDA/PPa bullcrap charges even with an Emp Discount. It does make you feel less guilty if you hear them say "I'm not making any profit here".. They make money no matter so drive for your absolute best deal. I don't resent their making a profit, just prefer upfront charges.

My local dealer has a pair of 2007s left. How low might he go on the Limited with MSRP = $38,600 at this point?

RIght - any good dealer will break it down for you up front. Ie. ' invoice' price and 'out the door' price (including all the bs fees for extra gas and 'chrysler mailer', etc).
 
Any dealer that tells you he isn't making any profit is full of it - do you know anyone in the business of selling cars to lose money? Fact is, they make 500-1000 a car even if they sell at invoice - even more depending on factory to dealer incentives and bonuses if they hit numbers.
 
My dealer faxed me the actual invoice, then detailed the out the door number for me line by line. I was able to get the car below invoice because they were a car away from hitting the top factory to dealer bonus level at the end of the month. Everyone was happy.

You can deal your best on 07's but the big rebate (was $4500) is not being offered right now on the 07's -- rather they are rebatign 08's right now. But if you can wait a few days the rebates might go up again. Read this:
