The BMW quickly downloaded a directory of playlists/songs. Now the navigation and playback happen in a totally iPodly way.
It sounds great, I might add.

I wasn't aware that it pre-cached the device, which seems to be what is happening. My Alpine system must not do that and access real time, which creates lag. Also, I've noticed the same speed difference when using the iPod classic and iPod touch side-by-side (not plugged into a car). Maybe I'm just nitpicking, but it's nice to know the car doesn't exhibit the same symptoms.
