Upgrading Wadia 170i IDoc to new 171 IPod dock

The 170i was nothing but problems. Some click wheels didn't work, sometimes you had to undock then re-dock the iPod, etc. I really wanted to buy one, but it was just ergonomically inept. Probably the worst piece I've been exposed to in a very, very long time.

Wadia's not doing too well with the iTransports IMO. I'd stay away until you're sure the 171i doesn't have these issues. Sucks to say that, as I think they're a great company. The 170i really made them look Bush League. Hopefully the 171i won't be a repeat of it.

Rpg,

I never owned a 170i. I demoed it a few times at 2 different dealers, trying to force myself to buy one. I'm not the only one who had issues, as there were a lot of people here and elsewhere that reported the same thing. The problem was/is the software. Some models of iPods are compatable for certain functions, some models have all functions working, and some have no functions.

My iPod Classic was supposed to be fully compatable. Wasn't compatable with a single dock I tried, which was about 5 or so. My iPod Nano had the same issues.

I'm glad you've had no issues. Again, I think it's software glitches, not faulty hardware. As I said before, Wadia is a great company. I just think they really dropped the ball on the 170i. Hopefully every iPod/iPad/iPhone works perfectly with the 171i.

Not being a smartass; I have to ask...

If you don't trust computer music, etc., what exactly do you think an iPod is? How did you get the music onto it?
