ice>Link: What's the consensus?
Hey friends,
Any of you have an ice>Link installed in a vintage 2001 COMAND setup? I'm wondering what to expect if I make the move. The Dension website doesn't reveal too much. How does it function - would I create 6 playlists and choose among them as I would CD's? How many songs can a playlist contain? If there's a PDF out there of a user guide that would save a few keystrokes on a response, I'd be cool with a link.
Botom line, is it a good move - "good" meaning a nice tight integration that keeps all my existing controls in order and takes full advantage of the COMAND and dash display so I never need to look at the iPod itself?

Thanks Skylaw. Any recent updates on the ID3 tags on the COMAND screen?

Still no luck with that. Some contributors (Scorchie, among others) do not believe it will happen, at least with COMAND 2.5. It is a frustration. Still, I prefer to live with that frustration and have all of my music available to the alternative of having a readout, but be limited to 6 discs in the trunk - especially on a long trip when the trunk is full.
