iPod Kit Needs Software Upgrade

I have an 07 with the iPod integration kit and it doesn't work very good. The menu's always freeze up so you can't do anything or the screen takes 5 seconds to update when your scrolling. Does anyone else have this problem? Are there software upgrades available?

I also thought the iPod menu's would show up on the Command screen instead of the one line you get by the spedo. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Pretty lousy "integration", don't you think? That's why I bought a $5 cord and connect through the AUX jack.

I agree, it's not worth the money. I was excited about the feature and was willing to pay extra for the convenience, but it just isn't that great. One nice thing is it keeps the iPod charged! If they fix the issues I mentioned and add the iPod display to the command screen then it would be worth it!
