I'm pleased to report that my DCI is now working perfectly! Modifry was kind enough to stop by on his way to Atlanta tonight (in the rain) and bring me a new DCI. Turns out my problem was with the power connection in the plug that connects to the DCI. After splicing in a new pin into the connector (in the Wendy's parking lot -- in the rain), it's working like a champ. Everything works completely as advertised. The response is just as quick as if you were using the OEM remote control--Alpine in my case. The speed sensitive volume control works perfectly, as do the additional controls available through combination button presses. Once you hit the button combinations a couple of times, they come quite naturally. Outstanding work Modifry!!! Next time you're cruising along I-85 and have the time to spare, dinnner is on me. I can't recommend this product highly enough. Here are a couple of pics:

The IR eye -- it's the little black blob just above the 'MediaXpander' logo on the HU:
<EDIT>Looks like I mistyped 'Multi' in the title. Mods, feel free to correct that for me, since I apparently cannot change it</EDIT>
Cool to hear someone got theirs working. Is this the same one you order from Lucid?? I'm still waiting on mine to be replaced. Mine was one from the defective batch that went out, I shipped it back and are awaiting the replacement.
But glad to hear you like it, can't wait to get mine.
