Hey all, just got my D3 installed the other day and so far it's been pretty great. I just have two questions but there's so many iPod related threads on here it's hard to sift through and find what I need.

First is the scrolling, I'm sure some of you have me beat (probably by a lot) but I have 59 pages of artists and getting to "Y" is pretty rough. Is there any easier way than pushing the down button on the screen 58 times? I'm going to end up killing someone if that's the case

Second thing is that I keep my iPod in the glovebox because that's where the cable is. I haven't had a good chance to test but if I just shut off my car I've seen that the Pioneer screen stays on. Will my iPod eventually shut off? (It's a 30GB video for reference).

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Your ipod will shut off after a few minutes.

The best trick I know if to get to artists quicker is to go into Itunes and change the genre to the first letter of the artist. You lose the ability to search by genre, but at least you only have 26 letters to scroll through

Awesome, thanks for responding. To be honest, from skimming around here I figured the best way would be the genre trick, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks again.

Even better than chaning your genre would be to create playlists. You can have itunes or winamp create smart playlists. I use winamp to have it put every artist that starts with "y" into a playlist.... better more effective way without messing up your tags.

I suggested that before... But then I actually tried it... and it sucks because it doesn't give you the choice of selecting artists or albums after selecting the lettered playlist. It just gives you the list of songs to play.

Not to state the obvious, but if you're looking for an artist that begins with the letter "Y" then you could always hit the up button a few times, instead of the down button 58 or however many times you said you had to
