1) Last night, I was in the car, I clicked "play" on album #1, then I went through and did an "append" on album #2 using the down-and-hold playlist function. I don't know if this has anything to do with anything but then I selected shuffle. It shuffled, works fine, then I arrive at a destination and power down the car. When I start it back up, the shuffle setting is reverted.

2) I also noticed that wendy settings do not stick between reboots either.

3) When the Rio is booted, and the info screen comes up in car mode... if I then menu over and select a bookmark, the song changes, but the info screen is now set to the wrong song!

The "incorrect song info on screen" is known bug FITNR.

The other stuff about the forgotten settings has not happened to me. Are you sure you don't have the negative spike bug?
