BTW three suggestions for Dension - (1) the default first menu item should be Playlist, it's the most used selection and would eliminate a step. (2) Replace Artist with Genre, even if you have a modest collection getting to "K"anye West or "L"enny Kravitz one click at a time is the definition of aggravating... at least with Genre you have only 10 to 20 choices and it would eliminate the need for me to creat smart playings for each of these categories. (3) Restore the ability to control the iPod manually while it is connected to the Ice. I do not forsee a day when all of the iPod functions are mirrored via the Ice's menu system so allow me to make changes while I am at stop lights via the iPod.

Getting to your playlists consists of 3 simple steps.
1) Press CD #6
2) press left arrow on radio or down arrow on steering wheel one time.
3) Press right arrow on radio or down arrow on steering wheel for +3 seconds.
I do not see Dension adding "Genres" to the menu simply because no one has really asked. You can use your 1-5 Playlist buttons as Genres if you wish, just add 1,2,3.... in front of the playlist name so that it comes up first as selections on the playlist hot buttons.
As for iPod UI - it is accessable from the steering wheel control, but the selection is deactivated when ID3 text is enabled. Again, hardly anyone uses it. Here are the procedures:
1) Deactivate ID3 text by going to CD #6>Setup>No Text
2) Press CD #6 again
3) Press Down arrow on steering wheel 2 times to scroll to "ACCESS iPOD UI"
4) Press Right arrow +3 seconds to activate iPod UI, follow instructions on iPod screen.
Playlists are key for navigating through the iPod - when used, these can be your biggest aid in listening.
