Icelink bummer, NAV, etc.....

[B-A-R]

Hi folks...
Just installed my new icelink. Navigation is a bumout just like Apple's lame "iPod your BMW" junk. No offense Tom, your service was excelent, im just dissapointed. Sound quality is great, i just wish someone, (Mainly OEM MFG's) would make a real iPod interface with controls that dont require you to nearly pull over to scroll through the menus!
Anyone else bummed at this? I made playlists, etc, but i have thousands of songs, 5 playlists arent nearly enough. The Combo NT and FF to navigate is just confusing. Having to explain the proccess to every passenger that may want to find a song is gonna get old FAST. "HOLD the button then CLICK the button, OOPS it switched out of Disk 6, ok pick Disk 6, then HOLD...blahblah etc"

At MAC expo last year Clarion made a touchscreen FULLy integrated iPod ready unit. Anyone used it?? It was as if the ipod scroll wheel and menu were onscreen.

Sorry to vent, just frustrated at half-asses attempts at companies getting this right. Is Apple making it impossible buy not releasing code for a proper interface??? ArrrGGGG!
PS: The Ice>Link does work, and sounds good, i know we're lucky to have any ipod options at all, just ARRRGGG!! you know.....
