cutty Member 2 Member For: 16y 8m 19d Posted 14/01/10 03:54 AM Posted 14/01/10 03:54 AM Is it me or is the iPod integration with the FG lacking functionality? I have 50GB of albums on my iPod and to see all "U2" albums would mean I scroll the little wheel for about 5-10 mins before I see U2.I am perhaps missing something here or perhaps Ford can afford to do an upgrade and allow me to skip to letters like the iPod does.Can someone set me straight here or offer a contact/outfit at Ford I can lobby?Marc.

Not really an option unless your stationary though.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Legacy Donating Member 7,935 Member For: 22y 7m 16d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 21/01/10 10:14 AM Posted 21/01/10 10:14 AM does not bother me as mine is on shuffle and if I do not like the song, I go to the next one.

I reckon it could be to do with the ipod.. somehow!I do alot of road testing with work.. and the Falcon is by far the best ipod interface or equal best with a 7 series. At least it was.. After I got an upgrade in 2008 now all my albums play alphabetical.. not in album order. Anyone else noticed this?

I might have to get on the dealer again..

Just to clarify that we are talking about the same thing - would play the tracks in an album or playlist by their name alphabetically rather than the actual track order. If so then yeah the audio interface module upgrade fixed it.Another thing you can try is resetting the module, ignition off, pull fuse #21, ignition on, ignition off, restore fuse. But it definitely sounds like a software issue.
