Hah, I did the same thing and have a permanently dedicated Ipod Nano in the glovebox. I must say that I rarely use it and for the most part use the SD slots as I have two 32GB SDHCs for 64gb of storage, much more than my 8gb nano.

I bought an 64 GB iPod Touch for the glovebox music - I just leave it there most of the time. It works well with Apple Lossless formatted music (ripped with dBpoweramp).
I've been trying to find a "lossless" music format for the SD cards - but all the radio will read so far is MP3 - which is a "lossy" format I don't want. Has anyone found a lossless format that works? (I have the "No NAV" Symphony Radio rather than the 3G MMI.)

That is extremely disappointing. I hope they get their act together and fix some of this stuff instead of waiting another two years for the next version of MMI to address the shortcomings.

For a while I had a 16 gig ipod touch in the glovebox, but then it seemed kind of pointless to have a "touch" that would just sit in the glovebox all the time. So now I got a 160gig classic. Now I can fit all my songs too.

My car is not here yet -- I'm planning to buy a 16GB or 32GB SDHC car for it but I do have an 80GB iPod classic that I don't use anymore. I'm just wondering, what do you guys like better? SDHC or iPod? Any issues/cons with either choice?

Has this happened to anyone else? It seems like the ipod will freeze and the MMI says that there's no ipod connected. I take the ipod out and it frozen (not literally). I have to hard restart the ipod and everything it a go after that. Just wondering if I’m the only one this is happening to?

What are the advantages and disadvatges of using a SD card VS a second ipod. I have only an 8 GB ipod touch. But I really don't listen to much music in my car. I assume you can control both through MMI

Yes, both can and are controlled through the MMI.

Agreed, and this is defintely a small software fix they could introduce with an MMI software patch/upgrade.
