Most people make a seperate folder for each Genre or even a seperate folder for each artist. This will solve your problem.

Thanks Nazar for the the DNX7100. It is installed with a backup camera and bluetooth and is a great product. The only issues I have had is when I put in a CD the screen folds down and stays down until I shut the car off. Must be a setting some place but haven't found it yet. Also very strange, my service engine light came on after the install the first time I drove it down the road. I brought the car back and removed the negative battery terminal to reset the computer and the light went away and has not come back. If you guys would like to veiw some picks of the install and my car you can find them here:

If felt pretty crazy taking a car apart that only had 200 miles on it and I have only had it for a week.
Next up is Diamond audio speakers!

I didn't have to drill any holes for the mic so that made that location that much better. I also ran the iPod cables and usb cable into the cabin above the radio so I can plug in the iPod cable or a USB device. Again no holes drilled but I will have to go back and drimmel out a little of one of the pop outs in the cubby.
so how exactly does the ipod hook up to this unit? via usb or a special ipod chord like previous generations? also, nice setup! looking good man.

5th generation iPods. The Unit also has a video and audio cable for the iPod. You still have to use a specific cable for the radio to be able to connect to USB and the other audio/video cables. My guess it that Kenwood uses the USB to control the device and the other cables for Audio/Video feed.
I was able to connect my 4th generation to the iPod audio cable and it would work but I could only control it using the ipod. I just picked up a 5th generation iPod last night so I will find out later today how well it really works.

Does anyone know what the deal is with the screen settings? I can't change the position of the screen for some reason.

Still looks cool though.
On a sidenote, I created a background with the Z logo against a black backdrop in the screens native res if anyone's interested...
Edit: Thanks to Nazar for the advice and getting the unit to me asap

Advice needed on 7100
I have read this entire thread and had a couple of questions., but first my situation:
I have installed the Avic-d3 Unit and generaly it has been performing well but I have a few beefs. 1st I opted for the BT-200 unit to take phonecalls on the head unit but compatibility has been a struggle. I had the 6700 PPC phone from sprint and it wouldnt synce without errors to the unit, so I switched out to the Palm 700WX model and it wouldnt sync either. I tried a Palm OS model and actualy could "recieve" a call but got no audio when trying to "make" a call. (Sure there was something I coulda done but dont like palm OS anyways).
So I'm at the point of thinking to go with the 7100 but wanted advice.
1 First, would be is there an adapter to transfer my toyota steeringwheel
controls to allow 7100 operatrion?
2 Are the 300 units for Ipod A/V ussage even available?
3 Most important of these three is, what success have any of you had with
the Bluetooth operation ? What model of phone, and what about the 7100
unit autosyncing with your phone?
Any help with these questions would be greatly apreciated.
