I have 20gb on the ipod so to get a track with an alphabetic listing such as T takes forever. The Bluetooth phone system is listed with Alphabetic headers so you just go to T then scroll down that selection. Would make sense for the iPod to be the same. Also I now have a 3g iPhone but the Bluetooth keeps refusing to connect so I have to unpair and then pair each time I enter the car.

Any ideas?
My ipod connector is a PITA, using a 60GB it wont random shuffle unless I bang the idrive controller 4 times, forcing a next random selection. It seems the problem is the way the ipod interfaces with the idrive. Initially I could only scroll by artist, despite all my ipod tunes being stored in one root directory only which is crap. However, I bought an ipod touch and shared my song directory with it, and whadaya know It list all my songs alphabetically, which is as damn good as random when played in the car, so now when you hit next, even if it doesnt finish a track, its as random as you can get (without memorising the sequence of the 4000 tracks in the ipod that is )
