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.

It came with a set up which allowed it to adapt to other iPods but I'm not sure which ones. Honestly it doesn't work that well anyway so we don't use it anymore, and if yours has a cover then you have to take it off first. We just use it as a clock now.

Yes, I can. I love mine, I really do. When I'm not exercising, I keep the rubber cover on my Ipod and only take of the strap thing. The only thing that don't work great is when I try to use my FM tuner with the cover still on. But that's a minor thing in my eyes. All the buttons still work great though.

No. It will stop making sound threw the stereo while I am driving or parked while the car is running and then start making sound again. When sound is not made the iPod is still charging and playing. Also if iPod is left on and playing when the car is being turned off it will continue playing.

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

You can control it through both but mainly through the iPod or iPhone. There is limited functionality through the cars radio. I can advance songs on a playlist and skip around but it does not show me what is playing.

If you have steering wheel controls you just set the iPod volume at a little above midpoint or so and adjust volume with the steering wheel controls as well as the songs changing up or down. Hope this helps.

The small round switch on top left side of iPod locks out all of the controls on the round face. Example, your listening to music and stick the iPod in your pocket, slide switch to right, to prevent accidental skipping of songs, changing volume, etc. Hope that helps.

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 just got the Road Trip yesterday and the problem I'm having is that I have to crank the volume up to it's loudest on my car radio to hear my iPod at a semi-decent level. I like it loud and louder and can't figure out how to fix this problem. The Griffin website doesn't help at all.

Yes the time still displays. Sometimes the album covers appear on the IPOD but other times I can't get them to appear. Don't know why. Anyone else know why? Sometimes have a hard time docking it.

I am guessing that you are referring to Siri. Siri get turned on by holding down the home button, I have done this accidentally myself. A small purple microphone appears in the bottom banner of the screen when Siri is turned on. Turn it off by pressing the home button.

If you don't want to record anything, you can simply use the power switch on the unit to turn it off. Of course, every time you stop/start the vehicle along your journey it's going to turn on automatically. Not sure what purpose you're trying to gain setting the recording time to off other than to perhaps stop it overwriting the card when full. When that happens, it displays Card Full and stops recording. I have a 32gb card and just let it continuously overwrite.

No purpose as far as changing the way the toggle operates. It's for looks really. When you close the cover it will shut the toggle off automatically so then you don't have to second guess if you shut it off or not. I close mine just enough that its resting on the toggle its self so the light doesn't shine in my face. while im driving

Can't turn it off unfortunately. Yes iOS dies indicate battery charge on iPhone. Not Mac from what I've seen though. You have to open the beats app on Mac for that.

Luke,It keeps your last setting. You don't have to constantly play with your iPhone. Effects have been good - I usually toggle between one reverb and one chorus.

I just tested it, and yes, it can be charged in the cover. I use kind of odd charger and I take it out. I noticed that others made comments about it being difficult to get the iPod in and out of the Snugg. I didn't find it to be difficult. So, taking it out to charge isn't a big deal to me. Thanks for reminding me to charge :)
