Works great.
Why? I already have an alphabetical artist option?

I'm pretty happy with the iPod controls. Sure, it's not as good as on the actual iPod, but the interface also wasn't designed by Apple. I'll give BMW car design props, but Apple wins hands down on electronic gadgets.

Anyway, when I shopped, I brought my iPod along and stuck it in all the cars I could. Figured out the iPod interface without help and could access what I want. I also wish I could figure out a way to scroll through artists or albums faster - you have to use the knob on the dash unit, can't do it on the steering wheel. But once you pick an artist or album, the shuffle mode works within it too.

As for other cars, I tried Audi/BMW, and got rather angry that they expected me to pay for that insult of a feature. BMW positively shined in contrast.
