Conversely, I don't know anyone who has a 10+ gb iPod who enjoys (vs. suffers through) the "artist" menu selection. So, why not make "Playlist" the first menu selection on the next update? Next, since scrolling through artist is so difficult why not replace it with "Genre" which would eliminate the need to create playlist for them.

I hear what you're saying and will recommend it to Dension. Keep in mind what you are proposing only saves one press of the left button. That's it.

If not, it would be great if you could allow the display (especially for the video ipods) go unchanged when connected... it adds to the wow factor for passengers and allows album covers to be displayed on the screen.

There is no way around this as the iPod goes into UART mode, as if it were connected to a computer. From the options you are looking for, you can always disable ID3 text display and get back into iPod UI mode - and have full functionality of the iPod, but you are limited to what is called "simple remote" mode.
You are asking a lot from the ice>Link - remember, we are working around the limitations of the iPod, it's not the fault of the ice>Link itself.
Thanks for the feedback!
