hey tom,

unfortunately nothing worked. When i selected cd 6 it would try and jump back into cd1 a few seconds later, however i managed to get it into cd6 long enough to get to the ice-link setup. But once in the ice link setup, i only got choices "update ice link", "about ice link", "random", and i believe there was 7 total selections none of which were titled "text selector."

I scrolled though just about every settings, and setup i could find with nothing related to text. I have re-booted the ipod, updated the latest firmware from apple, and searched the internet looking for any possible updates for the ice-link.

I have pretty much come to the conclusion this thing is a complete POS or my headunit wont display ID3 text (which according to everything i have read it does)

any other ideas, before i return this thing or throw it in the trash? thanks for your help./
