Hey everyone,
I test drove a 2009 FX35. I brought along my iPod classic (120 GB) and iPod cable to check functioning. When choosing to search by artist, a list comes up and as you scroll down that list the display changes to large letters (A, B, C, etc...) and it would appear that when you stop on that letter it will display artists' names under whatever letter you stop on. Sounds like a great feature, however, this didn't seem to work at all. For example, if I stopped at F (to listen to the Foo Fighters for example) it would queue up Fiona Apple and then everything else that started with A, like AC/DC, Aerosmith, Christina Aguilera, etc... (Fiona Apple is alphabetized under A, not F, as are all my artists sorted by last name). It didn't seem to matter what letter I chose, it always brought up something at the beginning of my artist list, usually in the As and Bs. If I wanted to listen to Elton John and stopped at J, it would give me James Blunt and then everything else that started with a B (again, James Blunt is sorted under B). It seemed literally impossible to search for any given artist because as you start to scroll down the artist list it automatically defaults to searching by letter, which obviously wasn't working for me.
I drove another FX35 (a 2012) and it did the same thing. The salesman brought out his iPod shuffle and it also did the same thing.
This was a complete deal killer for me, on an otherwise fine automobile. Any feedback or comments would be very much appreciated at this juncture!!
