New firmware for the ice>Link Plus has been released so that the new generation of iPods are supported.

ice>Link Plus V2: Download
ice>Link Plus V4: Download

I believe that the ice>Link Plus V2 is the shrink-wrap-type, and the V4 is the one in the hard case (also known as the "2006").

For more information, see this page on the Dension site.

It now says that new firmware will be available from 4 February.

S33BBY · Feb 4th, 2008, 10:30 PM

They've pushed the update forward to 11 February now. Who thinks it'll get pushed to 18 February next week?

S33BBY · Feb 7th, 2008, 10:01 PM

Just to let everyone know that the firmware now appears to be available. I haven't tried it yet, but will do at the weekend.

Just downloaded this, got it on my iPod, about to install, gulp.

S33BBY · Feb 8th, 2008, 04:26 PM

Best of luck! Do you know how to tell if you have the V2 or V4? Is the V4 the "2006" ice>Link Plus?

S33BBY · Feb 9th, 2008, 12:53 PM

I just updated mine with the V4 (as I have the hard case unit) and it worked fine. It took about 2 minutes. In the past I've never been able to update, and now I realise it's because there are 2 hardware variants of the ice>Link Plus, and I obviously have the later one. All past firmware updates that have been posted here are for the old hardware.

All Dension have done is change what number 6 does; it now toggles between iPod control and stereo control. There are no settings available now, such as charging, which is a bit annoying, but at least it works properly now.

S33BBY · Feb 9th, 2008, 10:25 PM

It comes with an instructions PDF. If they still don't make sense, let me know.

mikeythemini · Feb 10th, 2008, 09:52 AM

Interesting , will have to see if I can find an icelink so I can try it

Jinkster · Feb 13th, 2008, 03:20 PM

Any advantage of installing the updates - my ice link plus seems to work ok with no problems - still cannot get the track names on the head unit (2004 Mini OneD).

Texy · Feb 19th, 2008, 07:42 AM

OK - so where's the gateway 100/300 update then?

ID3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

basically it is meta data that identifies what the file is. This is the information that is displayed like the song title or artist.
