Yes I would love to know if there is a way that we can get videos on the screen too!! I have the 80G Ipod Classic and have owned my FG XR6T since August 08. The Ipod integration has been awesome and never given me any problems. All my songs appear alphabetically. My only gripe is that if you have a number of albums for one artist and you want it to play continuously through the albums you can't (unless you change the album name so it's all the same). No big hassle though.

I have DVD movies stored on my Ipod and would be over the moon if you can play them. I was only in the dealership yesterday too (just to get something else looked at (clutch pedal spring needed lube)). Interesting to hear from Zap that there with the upgrade a Music/ Video option came up on the ICC.

Cheers Boog

Ok guys, I tried to get a video onto my iPod, but I do not have any Apple "Music Videos" and I do not plan to buy one.

I als have a problem where my PC's Vista got corrupted and now I have reinstalled it, it wants to wipe my iPod and get me to reselect all my songs, this took me 8hrs last time.

Is there any way I can transfer the selection onto my iTunes ?

Sorry mate, I couldn't help ya there!! Hey Zap, what month was your FG released?? I went to the dealer today to get the update so I could get the music vids option. They reckoned it didn't need the update, already had it. My XR6T ute was an August build. I got the Luxury pack so I have the Premium Sound package etc. I was a little surprised to hear it didn't need the upgrade!

Cheers Boog (Tim)

Just popped out to the car to check for you - so the unit was already plugged and controlled from the head unit.

The playlist for your Ipod name seems to run alphabetically by song name.

The playlists for the genres I have set up seems to play in the listed order but by artist name (ie - if I had say ACDC and the Angels listed under the Rock genre, it will play the ACDC songs before the Angels songs; the ACDC songs are listed in no specific order - the order corresponded to the way it was listed in Itunes on my macbook)

Playing in the listed order also seems to happen for if I select say to play the songs of a particular artist.

Does this help?

Yeah if the iPod is plugged in while it is turned off or nothing playing, then everything is listed alphabetically by track name regardless of whether it's in an album, playlist, genre etc...

If I start playing a playlist, then plug it in everything is fine. Even after the vehicle is turned on and off it remembers where it was up to and keeps playing in the correct order...until you change playlists. :clap:
