iPod Integration Capabilities

For people with Ipod Integration Kits Installed. How how is the user interface? Is is just song title display? Can you browse the ipod menus, to search for music by Playlists, Artists, Albums, etc. or can you just browse Playlists? Also is it possible to make song titles scroll? Any first hand info would be appreciated. I am hearing that the controls are difficult to master but I am wondering about if all music related capabilities are present; albeit awkward to navigate.

I almost always just run my iPod using Artists / Album search and not playlists. Not having that functionality would be a major bummer. Also does music pick up where you left off automatically or do you have to access ipod and turn it on when staring car?

Thanks

The only button that works on the COMAND is the Mute button that will also pause the Ipod. The Ipod will also go to Pause when you receive a phone call, and start playing when call ends

help on Ipod operation - specific song, artist, album selection

Ok, maybe I'm an idiot but I can't figure out steering wheel operation. I can scroll by artist, album, but I can NOT select for play. I think I'm following the manual but it does not seem to be working - FWIW the dealer is unable to do it either.
So, Oslo, (or anybody) would you mind describing the sequence of steering wheel buttons you go through to select a specific artist song or album
THANKS
