also having an old ass ipod doesn't matter that much since it's sitting in you center console anyways... i've had the same ipod after 2 change in cars. thing must be 5 yrs old and still running.
Thanks for the reply, but the last iPod I had, had a HD failure, and I didn't buy a replacement as I don't really use it as much. The form factor of the USB and the X5 capability to sort and play songs from the same are excellent and I really like it. I buy songs off Amazon and iTunes and with the USB drive I can copy from multiple sources without much hassle. I have a few ideas of how I might be able to achieve what I am looking for but was wanted to find out if there were any options within the X5 menus before I go for the effort.
