Default dension vs nav-tv

been following the gateway 500 thread, but can't seem to find if the dension is the preferred device. I am trying to pick one, and can't find any good comparisons.

I have the Nav-TV. I hate it. The menus are cumbersome at best. It takes forever navigate to a song very far down the alphabet. You can't put the ipod in shuffle mode to play songs random through the whole ipod, although you can kind of shuffle a play list. Every time i start the car if its been more than a few minutes it starts the same song which is first on my ipod. Love the ipod...hate the Nav-TV.

I had the Nav-TV unit in for a few months. Finally decided to pull it out. Too many bugs, menus (as already stated) are inefficient, no shuffle capability with long playlists.....

Don't know about Nav gadget but Dension works great.If you get, just use it out of the box.. Do not upgrade to the latest firmware which have some bugs but Firmware version V1.00 works great.

no regrets going with Dension.
