Wow - iPod Scrolling Fix!!
#16
Hello Hello. New G37x sedan owner as of yesterday. On the iPod scrolling issue - I have premium package but no Nav - could that be why the controller wheel does not scroll through letter menu?
I know I can hold down the "down" arrow below the control wheel and it will run through the number of artists faster than scrolling - but I was hoping to find a better solution. Believe me I tried spinning the wheel fast as anything but it would not scroll me through a letter menu.
Help is appreciated!

I wonder if a software update is possible somehow. It's a pretty big issue especially if you have like 700 artists. Also I love 311... but it takes like a half hour to get down there to the artists that are numbers. It would probably be easier just to use the controls on the iPod itself - but there is no way to do that and no Auxilary input besides the USB for iPod - as far as I know.
If anyone knows something I don't - please share as this is really the only bummer I've found with the car so far!
Thanks.

I am also experiencing the frustrations with the ipod interface. I have a 2009 G37x w/ NAV. Scrolling (using either the dial/controller or touch screen) through my list of Artists (~160) or Albums (~300) is painfully slow. The display can't keep up - there is a significant delay in scrolling from one page to the next. Sometimes the next page never appears! I equate it to a PC not having enough internal memory, or fast enough processor.
I may try the Genre suggestion (A-Z,#), but even trying to scroll through my current list of Genre (< 30), there is a delay moving from one page to the next. So I don't have much hope being able to scroll through a list of 27 very quickly.
Interesting though that I do not have this problem when scrolling through my list of Songs (~3000); there doesn't appear to be a similar delay, and the system appears to be able to keep up. I don't understand why the difference.
I've read a lot of posts complaining about the long time it takes to scroll through a long list of Artists, etc., but is anyone actually experiencing the screen PAUSES/DELAYS that I describe?

From another thread somewhere on this site, can't remember which, I set the genre for each song on itunes to be the first letter of the artist, so you only have to go through the 26 letters and 1 for numbers. Its much faster than scrolling through the entire list to get to the bottom. I'm a big fan of Taking Back Sunday, so rather than taking 10 minutes to get to them, it only takes about 10 seconds.
