I just spoke with an Apple rep as I am also frustrated with Cover Flow. He said to: (1) plug my ipod into my computer / iTunes(2) go to my nano's Summary page (where you can see the storage space or refresh the unit, etc)(3) click on the Music tab(4) uncheck Display Artwork-- I hope that helps!

Hey! Thanks for the reply!Just give it a try and let me know if it works. I still haven't bought it (because of the cover flow issue) but if that method works, then I'm definitely getting it :D

FYI: Apple just released a SW update that adds an option to toggle CoverFlow mode off completely.

Yes, you can turn this Sony mp3 player completely off buy holding down the option button. After the screen displays "OFF", slide the "Hold" button up. This will keep the player from coming on when buttons are accidently pressed. It's a great mp3 player with a good long battery life. I have never had a problem out of it. It's totally worth the price. Just remember that if you want to make a playlist do it using the "Bookmark" feature.

Can't turn it off unfortunately. Yes iOS dies indicate battery charge on iPhone. Not Mac from what I've seen though. You have to open the beats app on Mac for that.

You have to have the volume about 3/4 on the iPod for music and the radio volume pretty much takes care of the rest. just make sure you get set up before driving, fiddling with tuning and volume gets tricky while driving

Yes, I can. I love mine, I really do. When I'm not exercising, I keep the rubber cover on my Ipod and only take of the strap thing. The only thing that don't work great is when I try to use my FM tuner with the cover still on. But that's a minor thing in my eyes. All the buttons still work great though.

I also wondered the same. I now have the unit and it DOES NOT display album art. Also, the ipod controls are OK, not great. There doesn't seem to be a search feature, or anyway to advance through long lists (I have 1000 artists, so to get down the list 5 at a time takes a long while). I also haven't found a way to control the ipod through itself.

No, you can't.. Only when you use the ipod, you can control your play list ether by head unit or steering wheel control

Sorry, but I am coming up with the same thing as you. The only thing I can figure is that you may just tap it for mute and hold down for off. I have not had a chance to try this yet so I am just guessing. Hope this is of some help.

With my iPod Touch, it only controls PAUSE / PLAY. Pushing and holding gives you access to Siri.

I know you can use the sleep function from the iPod and it will shut off, not sure about the radio.

You can do it by holding down the fast forward button for volume up & hold down the rewind button to volume down. The volume on mine seems to hesitate then it is maxed out, or it skips to the next song. So what I do is go ahead & max out the volume & I make all my adjustments using my phone. I like it better that way any way. My wife & I love it. We don't ride a Harley we are on a VTX 13OOR Sounds great.

I havent had any problems with it. The screen cover doesnt lie flat against the ipod but pressing on it still works fine. You shouldnt have a problem but ill reccomend that you might want to try and find a pair of headphones with the volume and pause/play/ff on the headphone cord

When you close the cover it turns itself off as well as stops my IPod music player.

My ipod nano has a touch screen with volume slide at bottom when the artist playing is displayed. Once it was turned all the way down when I was using it in my car and it took me a while before I could figure out why the heck my car radio volume control knob wouldn't work. Hope this helps.

You will need to change the setting on the iPad, I settings. My doesn't always stay off so I have to make sure the cover is actually closed.

It is not necessary to turn on the TV to enter the DMPORT mode to output your iPod/iPhone music with this system. Shuffle on my iPod Touch works fine with this system... I also want to state that this system does not have a display for your iPod/iPhone. You have to change tracks manually from your iPod/iPhone which is a hassle.
