Yeah, it looks like it actually gives you all of the features of the iPod's normal UI though the head unit. Much, much, better than most other efforts, including the PhatBox, IMO. Still can't do real searches -- just scrolling. But at least it shows real and useful textual data during "search" and playback.

But my favorite part is:

Press the MediaXpander button and restore the digital media sound of each song you listen to.

This button apparently dispatches some car gnomes to quickly replace that 2-inch PC beep speaker you've been using with some real ones.


Am I the only person with an empeg who's got everything on it stored by artist then album? For how I use my empeg I find it a pain to have to create playlists, I just want stuff sorted by artist->album - ala what my iPod does. 99.9% of the time the empeg is set to play everything in random.

Searching on the empeg isn't great from the front panel, and if you're driving and using the remote control at the same time you deserve to be shot! My empeg is wired via an adapter into the stock fingertip controls on my car which results in a *very* basic ability to go through my playlists, artist by artist.

One of the reasons I'm very tempted to remove the empeg from the car now.
