I have not played with an icelink so I'm hoping someone can comment on how I *think* it works

1) It seems like the best way to navigate from the icelink is from playlists. The first 5 are quick.. is it clumsy to support many (50+) playlists?
2) I have the standard radio, browsing by artists / album seems to require use of the radio controls since you need to push the M button to get the FF / REW functions. Is this difficult for a lot of music?
3) Can the iPod be hidden away or do you need access to the display.. again think of a large collection
4) Has anyone tried the icelink mount that goes next to the shifter?
5) I seem to remember someone installing the dock in the ash tray.. not sure I can see how that would work... if you want to still see the display..
6) Does a cupholder mount work well? .. as long as you don't spill
I need to know the Model Year of your X5 to determine your options. I do have a BMW Supplement that will explain most of the features of the ice>Link Plus - feel free to email me directly and I will get you a copy.
