I'm confused about what I should be doing/seeing in the 'locked' mode (radio control - full integration). Will the song names only be available on the OBD in the instrument cluster? I was thinking you could direct it to display on the head unit. Am I wrong? If not, then I need some help understanding how to change the display location. If someone can take me through the process, from hooking up the iPod, turning it on, what CD/track buttons to press and importantly the sequence of these activities to ensure successful operation. The factory manual DICE provides is cryptic as hell.

Text (in either unlocked or Smart Mode) can be ported to either the radio/NAV or OBC - it's up to you. CD6/TRACK4 will place the text onto the radio display, which is typically preferred.

"On the Fly" only works with an unlocked iPod going to locked mode. If locked, the iPod will need to be disconnected, unlocked and reconnected.
