Problem with USA Spec Ipod Interface

[Cameron]

any word on this problem?

Coincidentally, I just called USA Spec again last week (4th time since installing in June '07, I think - I've lost track). Previously, each time they've said "We're aware of the problem, and are working on a solution. Check back in about two months." Well, this time, after pressing more, I was told that:

1) This problem happens only on Ridgelines
2) It does not happen with all Ridgelines, only some
3) They don't know what is special about Ridgelines, or why only some Ridgelines are affected but not all
4) They spent some months working on a problem, without success
5) They currently have no plans to dedicate any more resources to finding a solution

So, I think this means they don't see this as a major business impact for them, so it is what it is (the annoying flashing of the HU). Perhaps we could make a fuss over it as a group to elevate their assessment of the impact & priority - but I doubt it. It's still a good, functional unit. It is just not very polished.
