hi, i'm planning on buying an avic-z2. the only reason i will not buy it is i heard that the ipod interface is kind of slow. Im used to using a alpine w200, which has a very fast interface. also i heard when using the avic-z2 to scroll through an iPod menu you have to press down til you get to the letter of the song rather than jumping to a letter in the alphabet.

You heard correct

Im coming from Alpine w/ fast scroll option, I wish I was able to ask this question before I put the Z2 in my car. It's a little slow and yeah you have to scroll..

I only found it to be a problem if I didn't know what song I was looking for and was browsing my library.
