Does anyone know of a way to keep the random function on for the Mini cooper USB ipod integration unit. Every time I turn off the system the random goes off and I have to turn it on again when I turn the system back on. Help! This is very annoying as I would like it to stay on.

 

This has come up a few times, and there's no known way yet. The closest I've been able to get is to burn an MP3 CD with MediaMonkey, which can prepend a random digit to the beginning of the file name. Of course, that's not a workable solution for an iPod- if you're using a USB drive, you could use MediaMonkey to sync to it with the random numbers inserted on sync though.

 

Thanks for the info. I was just hoping that someone had figured out a way in the car system to do it. Maybe someday! Other than that, they USB iPod function works great.

 

Does anyone know how to construct a playlist that the r56 radio with usb will read?

 

It'll playback m3u playlists, which are reasonably common: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U
