Man, this ipod setup in the 16M is very cool ! Easy push button release, and separate volume control on the center console... The sound itself is very good...much improved over the system in the Scuderia Coupe with much better bass and midrange...very pleased with it. Ferrai sends the ipod with preloaded Scuderia Coupe and 16M videos/pics. There is a video of Schumacher ripping up a scuderia on the track !(see pic below), mpegs of exhaust notes, and various other videos. All in all, for a first time use of the ipod in their cars, they did it right Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
cool stuff... maybe im missing something but where do you actually control the ipod and volume etc. i didnt see it in your pics
Gorgeous Ride, RufMD... Is that a Becker unit or a Bose ? -- I'm wondering if you can post up any visible the part #s-- would be a great retrofit for other 430 owners. How do you find the sound with the top down ?..is it loud enough, and how's the sound quality ? You did phenomenal job speccing that 16m...look very classy.
Very cool, Jas. So great to see you having so much fun with your new toy. Have you even been to work since it was delivered...?
Jas, There's an app you should download if Ferrari hasn't provided anything similar. Should be a fun add-on. "Dynolicious is the first automotive performance meter available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Dynolicious uses the hardware built-in to your iPhone to measure the performance characteristics of your vehicle. No external wires or equipment is necessary, simply slip the iPhone into a cradle or cupholder and go! Some of the performance metrics Dynolicious can measure: 0-60 Acceleration 1/4 Mile Elapsed Time Lateral G's Horsepower Friction Circle Downloadable Timed Run Graphs Downloadable Skidpad Graphs Unlike other accelerometer-based performance meters, Dynolicious uses the advanced data-handling and display capabilities of the iPhone to make the most of your performance testing. Dynolicious maintains a history of test runs, showing you averages and trends in your results. Dynolicious also allows you to enter modifications performed to your vehicle, and will instantly show before-and-after results to easily identify gains or losses.

Great to see technology thats relevant and works well.....must say some people moan that Ferrari doesnt put enough gadgets in its cars, my reply "well everything that one needs is there". Ipod has become one of what I call "need" technologies but when that V8 is screaming, the horizon rushing towards you technology is the last thing on your mind...
Dynolicious functionality is optimized for the integrated GPS which the iPod Touch currently does not include. Maybe next version???
Good point. I wonder if certain functions are non-functional or just calculated at a different rate. EDIT: According to their support forum, their site admin states the following: "Dynolicious does not require GPS for any of its calculations, so all (current) iPod touch and iPhones will work with it. Without a doubt it will work on the iPod touch." http://www.bunsentech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=50
But I'm pretty sure it does require the iPod Touch to be mounted in a vertical orientation. So it would have to be out of the dock to get proper results.
You're right too. Read another thread in their forum and the same admin says it's best to point it towards the direction of travel and not right or left. That would mean it would have to come out of the docking bay in the dash and remounted. Ah well, still looks like a fun toy but definitely not as good as a real data acquisition device I'd imagine. Then again, it all depends on the purpose...
Really? I guess you had better return it then Jas. I could take it off of your hands. But given that it has no radio, I'm not offering much.
