This statement I completly disagree with. The ice>Link Plus interface is no more complex than any of your radio commands or Navigation controls. This is what was intended from the beginning.

C'mon guys, it can't be that hard. The chaps over at Invention, in the UK, have done it.
In all fairness, you shouldn't be driving while browsing through the iPod - there is even a disclaimer message at bootup stating this. Keep in mind the ID3 text can also be displayed from your OBC, below your gauges so that your eyes are not far from the road - where they should be while driving. You also have your choice of displaying the ID3 on MID or NAV.

The suggestions here are all great - but safe driving is the #1 priority here, not the iPod.
