Head Unit Honda ipod connector playlist shuffle -cracked it

[ochlobo]

All, those who have responded to my last thread re the inability to shuffle playlists if you purchased the Honda unit may be pleased to know i have managed to have a partial success with this. At present i have 5000 plus songs on my ipod and disc 8 is the only way to play them randomly as you cannot random play your playlists, however, if when creating your honda1rock, honda2easy list, etc playlists within itunes, you can switch on the shuffle facility within a playlist. So within each playlist i have approx 20 albums. At the bottom left hand corner of the itunes screen switch the shuffle on. I created honda1rockshuff, and honda2rock. The honda1rockshuff i clicked the shuffle but left the honda2rock not shuffled. If you then sync your ipod you will find disk1 plays in the car shuffled and disk 2 goes through album by album. A good result considering the inadeqaces of the Honda adaptor. Hope some of you find this useful.
