It will display the song title and info and such. What I recommend doing is (if you haven't already) is getting the map update disc (for 08) and update the unit. Not only does it update the maps, but it updates a more critical part of the firmware which allows the unit to run cooler. It also has improved ipod compatibility and functions. A big plus is the increase in actual processing time!! It seems like it takes a day to browse through mp3 cd's with the original firmware, and still has trouble recognizing all of the songs on the mp3 cd. With the update, it's much improved and is more user friendly!!
Cliff notes:
Yes. Displays song, title, info, etc....
DO: Get the update
DON'T: Get the ipod cord without the update!

Hope you've already updated and everything goes well with it. If I find out anymore info, I will try to let you know. GL!!

hey thanks for the quick reply. i'm a little hesitant to take the unit out of the dash and send it back to them, not to mention the $300 price tag. also, eclipse's customer service is pretty lousy and i dont want to have a hard time with them saying we didnt receive the unit or anything like that. do i need the update for the song info to appear? thanks again.

Eclipse's customer service is actually pretty damn good. There's nothing you can do to make the AVN5495 display song info while using the ipc-106.
AVN5495 is the harddrive edition and has not been upgraded for 3 years, and last I heard from eclipse they did not have a way to update it.

hey, thanks for the reply. i've had pretty bad luck with them. its hard to get a hold of them and i find that they don't really know how to answer my questionss when i've had problems in the past. the unit is upgradable but you have to send it to them, as basketthis mentioned.
i was just wondering if the song info would still be displayed without the update with the ipc-106. also, will i be able to browse through my playlist and find the song I want or will I have to go song by song to find what I want. thanks again.

I have an AVN6600, and I am thinking of picking up a ipc-106, but i am not going to spend the money on one, unless it will transmit Video from my Ipod as well as audio. Does anybody know if the ipc-106 conducts video and audio form Ipods?

No iPod video according to the Eclipse website: http://www.eclipse-web.com/us/faqs/answer3_07.html
But the upcoming Eclipse unit is supposed to have iPod video so hopefully there's a new adapter out there that will do it with existing models: http://www.twice.com/article/CA6615131.html
