I notice that there's only 2 digit on the radio unit display, I wonder if this is will effect how many music you can play (99). I had a friend who installed a mp3 capable cd changer, and can only play up to 99 song per cd ( 1998 M3 )

Next questions; I havent been able to display the text on the cluster. When I change to next track using the steering wheel buttons, "CD3-XX" apears but thats it nothing else. According to Tom, I should be able to select where I want the display to show up, but I have not seen this option on my Ipod photo.
Is it possible to get display on both radio and the cluster?

Thanks
The ice>Link can play more than 99 songs in a playlist, the counter just resets to 00 and moves from there. Most people disregard the numbers since you will have Artist/Song Title information showing on the screen anyway.

Here are the instructions for activating ID3 text on your ice>Link:

========================================
ID3 Text Activation Procedures
========================================

1) Select CD #6 on the Radio/NAV screen
2) Scroll to "Setup" on the ipod using the steering wheel controls and select setup menu by pressing on the UP arrow on the steering wheel for +3 seconds.
3) Scroll to "Text Selector" press on the UP arrow on the steering wheel for +3 seconds and and follow the instructions on your radio/navigation screen.
4) Text is now activated!

NAV users: Text can be toggled by using the "info" on your navigation screen
