Default Any feature difference between iceLinkPlus and Neo Ion?

I've read the one archive I could find comparing various iPod integrations, but the data seems somewhat outdated. I'm wondering if anyone has recent experience with either iceLink Plus (aka v1.1?) or the Neo Ion product and can enlighten me as to where the differences may be.

Thanks,

Bill

Default I wasn't sure if the playlist control was available with Audi HUs...

...and twice the money?! It looked to me like the iceLink was $200 and the Neo Ion was $190. Did I miss something?

Thanks!

Default FYI - you do know there is a GB going on right now for the icelink plus, right?

I just wanted to check, since I was linked over by your post on the A6 forum, I figured it would be pretty rare chance that you would just happen to post without knowing there is a group buy in the group buy forum right now, but just in case, I wanted to check.

Default NP - let me know how it goes for you, I entered the GB earlier today, getting in for ipod mini

Gonna post up pics when I install and everything... hopefully it will go all easy.

I figure a silver ipod mini will look good with a silver a6 (not so "mini").
