Can be a little confusing, but no great problem.
I have put the Ipod in the armrest with the cable routed through the centre console:
Very pleased so far - now I've just got to reclaim the space in the glove box.

Yes Cliff, I also found some strange issues with tracks
Also with folders
When I first set it up mine was starting to play from CD2 only. The reason turned out to be that there were some hidden folders on my memory stick which the GROM could see as empty folders.
Other problems arose when i used a mixture of track names with some starting with numbers and others starting with letters.
Finally i have found that sometimes when plugging the USB stick in, the Symphony doesnt respond to any changes until I power it down by pulling the plug at the back of the GROM.
So I'm thinking of adding a reset switch to the harness because the power seems to be permanently on the GROM.
So finally I'm pleased with it, but a bit of care with the folder naming, and also the track names will serve us well in the long term.
By the way,
I found out that you can have more than 6 folders.
If you keep using the shift button after the end of the files on CD6 it rolls over to Disk 7. Not ideal because there isnt a button for it, but I made a Folder for Christmas songs, which I dont use very much and named it 07-DISK 7
I found that the user guide advice on naming folders was poor. ~It suggested using the names "DISK 1" and so on. But i found that this did not assign DISK 1 to Button 1, because the folder name starts with a letter, so in that case it assigns the first button to the folder that was created first. And in my case I modified Folder 1, before I installed it to the car so it ended up assigned to Button 6.
So my advise is to name the folders like "01-Disk 1.....02-Disk 2"
That way they assign to the correct button
It is also best if you number all your tracks in the order you want them played also because if like me you have several tracks starting with the same digits, then the G~ROM gets a bit confused.
