What was the verdict? Did you end up getting the Mopar hitch installed?

When I turn off music cleanup, I still have album art and the songs from my iPod look exactly the same. Voice recognition also seems to work exactly the same way with the iPod whether music cleanup is turned on or off. As far as I can tell, the iPod interface doesn't use music cleanup at all. That's why I don't understand why the album art doesn't show up for some songs from the iPod when I know that the album art is embedded in the files.

Are you sure it uses the Gracenote database for album art? My impression was that it uses Gracenote to identify the songs, albums, artists, etc. but the album art comes from the file itself. Of course, using that logic I've made absolutely sure that album art is embedded in all of my mp3 files, but there are still a lot of songs that don't show the album art in the car. The Gracenote database must be pretty large if it holds art for most every album in existence. Of course, if the database isn't regularly updated new music would never have album art displayed.

You had an SX4 too? I just traded in my SX4 for the Journey. Goss Dodge cleaned it up nice, but I doubt they'll get as much as they're asking. http://www.gossdodgechrysler.com/used/Suzuki/2009-Suzuki-SX4-Burlington-VT-59c174680a0d048e009d04dc3497e901.htm Sorry to hijack your thread.

Here's a picture of mine. It pretty much looks the same as the others. I posted a bunch of other pics in my gallery if you want to check out more.

I got the bug deflector from Amazon. It's Weathertech, not the Mopar one. I didn't like the way the Mopar one didn't protect past the hood, which is why I went aftermarket.
