I just spoke with an Apple rep as I am also frustrated with Cover Flow. He said to: (1) plug my ipod into my computer / iTunes(2) go to my nano's Summary page (where you can see the storage space or refresh the unit, etc)(3) click on the Music tab(4) uncheck Display Artwork-- I hope that helps!

Hey! Thanks for the reply!Just give it a try and let me know if it works. I still haven't bought it (because of the cover flow issue) but if that method works, then I'm definitely getting it :D

FYI: Apple just released a SW update that adds an option to toggle CoverFlow mode off completely.

Only thing I can think of is to check the volume on your iPod. I have found mine is quieter if the volume is down on my iPhone.

I did the same thing, not knowing that the 5th gen has the click wheel a little lower towards the dock connector. When you are looking at the iPod you can manage it (the word Menu is cut in half and needs the edge of a finger to press). But you sometimes only scroll 3/4 of the way around when adjusting the volume and can miss the back/next buttons and hit the pause button instead. I'm considering adding a small drop of glue for a bump, or widening the opening with a Dremel, so I can sense by feel where the back/next buttons are.

No, you can't.. Only when you use the ipod, you can control your play list ether by head unit or steering wheel control

There is a port to plug in the extension cable that comes with it. You then connect the ipod to the extension cable. I actually ran the cable into the glove box. then I can place the ipod hidden away. I actually never remove it.

I havent had any problems with it. The screen cover doesnt lie flat against the ipod but pressing on it still works fine. You shouldnt have a problem but ill reccomend that you might want to try and find a pair of headphones with the volume and pause/play/ff on the headphone cord

Yes you can. I've never done it but I know many who have. A couple of the previous generations didn't remember where you paused your audiobook, which was a nuisance, but apparently the 7th Gen Nano has fixed that :)

With this iPod adapter the up down (left side) controls the song selection. The song playing is displayed on the center gauge info area. This will not help if your up/down button is malfunctioning but it does allow control from steering wheel controls

Its so confuse at the beggining when you try to use it, but I will let you some instructios: First: This device you recharge it as an ipod. Second: When is charged, you put it on pulling the button to the left -the button is on the top- and then appears the options on the screen (music, radio, video, etc) Third: To choose the options, if you want to listen to music choose the option "Music", pushing the word button "Menu" -It appears in the top of the circle. After that, the music is into a carpet, you go to the "x" carpet from up and down pushing on the simbol left or right arrow, when you are on the "x" carpet push the menu button until appears the songs and for to begin to listen to a song do it the same operation until you hear it. You control the volume pushing the circle in the middle, to up and down, push the arrows. Alejandro.

It is very easy to change the song. There is a whole list of built in songs. I know you can program your own song but I have never done that. You need to get the bottom access cover off the front and that sometimes sticks. You do not need to remove the whole thing from the wall. When the cover is off you can change to group selection. Just follow the instructions. If you have lost the instructions you can get them off the internet.

the HK turns off automatically if no song is played from the ipod. i assume that's the battery saving feature. i am not sure how long it takes to turn off, but in my case i had to wait about 10 minutes until it turned off from alone.

My ipod nano has a touch screen with volume slide at bottom when the artist playing is displayed. Once it was turned all the way down when I was using it in my car and it took me a while before I could figure out why the heck my car radio volume control knob wouldn't work. Hope this helps.

I have an iPod classic that I use with this auxiliary cable. I can skip songs (station button #6) or go back (station button #5) using the head unit. Haven't found a button on the head unit that will pause the iPod except for the head unit on/off button, in which case the iPod must be manually started again.

With my iPod Touch, it only controls PAUSE / PLAY. Pushing and holding gives you access to Siri.

Yes you can turn it off. You have to do it in the settings. I think you can do it for 1, 2 or 5 minutes.

I leave mine in my car but always turn it off. I have noticed that when left on and my radio off, it does not play automatically. I still have to switch off and back on in order to play. It may just be a compatibility issue with my radio.
