Using an iPod
I just got around to hooking up my iPod using the white oem cable and the port behind the screen.
Changing songs lags like CRAZY! it takes 5-7 seconds each time! Anyone else having this problem?? Would a dif cable help maybe?

Yes. I have the EXACT SAME problem with a stock apple cable. I've complained to my local dealer, they have no idea what I'm talking about. If you find out a different answer please let me know. I hate this one thing about the car.

I ordered a couple cables off Ebay. They work pretty well but every once in a while I have to unhood the cable from the USB port behind the screen and reattach it. Other than that I am having no trouble with my Ipod Touch 4th gen. I was unable to get my ipod classic to work well in the C7 so I use it in my Audi and it works fine. Try another cable. Then ones I ordered off ebay came from China but so far they work pretty well and they were really cheap, less than $3 as I recall.

changing songs manually or through the infotainment screen?
how many songs?
Mine takes significant amounts of time to search, but I have about 8000 tracks on a 120gb classic.
I eventually figured out how to supress the warning, but I used to get the "you have too many songs to search by name warning" every time I connected.
I'm guessing the system cannot hold the index in memory, so has to reindex every time you want to change songs.

120 gb classics can fail, was written here early by a GM'er that some work and some dont - has to do with the power demand a classic ipod uses.
You can make playlists on a USB, it's here somewhere. I moved from two classics I owned to a Mini USB - prob solved.

IPod Success
It's weird that so many are having problems with IPods. I have a late model Classic (160 GB), with a total of around 1100 albums. Works like a charm, other than an occasional crash from overheating in the console.

I had periodic issues with my ipod Classic in my C7 but it works fine in my Audi A6. I bought a refurbished ipod touch 4th Gen and it works pretty well in my C7. Occasionally I have to reboot it by unplugging the USB cable but I am able to search for songs as well as all of my playlists.
