Probably the ipod. Because you can configure playlists ahead of time. If you just use a memory stick to either do random play or artist/folder play.

As long as it's a somewhat recent one, going to have to say the iPod. You can just leave it in your glove box and not have to worry about 2500 song limits (as long as it can hold that much) and indexing issues. The iPhone is the same but I don't think it can work as a phone while plugged in (don't hold me to that). After that I'd say a USB key, then BB. The USB key should be the best method but due to the 2500 song limit and the indexing issues (which might get better with the newer firmware), the iPod takes the cake.

Although I haven't tried, you are supposed to be able to put playlists in the root of a flash drive. Not sure what format, I guess m3u?

Codeman71-
Thanks for spending time on the forums to answer questions about the USB and Bluetooth streaming system!!! Overall, I think it is great system! Bluetooth audio is awesome! However, I was wondering if the recent software update changed the audio Bluetooth pairing at all. Here is the question- I pair my Iphone to the car via Bluetooth, but every time I shut down the car in XM or FM mode, it won't reconnect to Bluetooth (for audio) on startup. The only way I can get it to work again is to plug in a USB device, hit the Aux then config button, and manually tell it to connect on the Bluetooth menu. The Bluetooth pairing menu for audio will not come up unless something is plugged into the Aux port. If I shut down the car while palying Bluetooth audio, it will automatically re-pair and start playing again when I start the car. Is there a way to make this happen all the time? Or was it changed in one of the recent updates? Thanks again! |

Im starting to think I'll be using my iPhone a lot more to stream music, so I guess it wont be TOO huge of a deal. Maybe keep a few thumb drives kicking around for some of the more obscure music that I wont listen to every day anyway lol. Thanks for being a reliable source of info on this stuff! |

Anyone had this update yet
I went to my dealer and they had no clue about it. Said they would research it. Have not heard back yet. Anyone got this done yet? Any noted improvements?

I'm not sure how their system works but I think they should be able to look it up by part #20861681 or CVN #0000A80A. This info can be found at http://tis2web.xw.gm.com/tis2web |
