I had that set up in my Z, and we also have it in my husband's Jeep. I like it. Sure, it's kind of slow if you're going to scroll through every song on your iPod, but if you have some playlists made up it's not bad at all.

You can search by playlist, album, artist or song title.

with regards to the slow process, its only bad with a huge ipod lets say 20gb. if you have a 4gb or something small its not bad at all.

I don't like it at all, and I've given up using it. Wasted money sitting in the car right now. I'm waiting for a double-din HU that will have a better display.....more than one line, and more than a few characters of text.

I'm sure you could use it fine on highway driving, but most of my driving is downtown and rush hour freeway driving while going 80 mph. Good luck.

Yeah, it's really not much different than scrolling through mp3 cds. I'm sure you'll like it.

the main thing is to set up some playlists. much faster scrolling through those and artists. if you try to search for particular songs, that will tkae forever.

i love mine btw.
