iPod Intergration - Help me understand

[ozboy]

Hi All,

I am blazing away with my second post again thank you for all on here for such a great resource!

I am trying to understand what audio setup I need to get ipod integration in my new Journey? I currently have an 09 SXT with what I assume is the std audio set up. I use the aux jack on the unit for my ipod/iphone but in my new one (new '10 SXT) I would like to get the glove box set up so I can control ipod in car (rather than on the ipod as I do now).

My question is do I need the upgraded 'safe and sound package' as it is called he in Ontario with the touch screen...mygig I guess. Or are there other options? One dealer I talked to said I could be ipod integration without mygig but I don't understand how the data (mp3s, podcasts etc) would be read or navigated then....

Seems to me if I can get the ipod integration without the need for mygig that would work just fine

Any help, feedback from existing owners or those that know would be greatly appreciated.
