Any one got pics for iPod or other music device via USB on the information display? I wonder if it can support other language on the information screen... Anyone??

What do you mean by "support other language" - it supports a roman alphabet but nothing else.

Other language means something that's not English. Maybe Japanese or Chinese. Cos iPod does support lots of languages...

Actually, my car with the factory iPod kit (6FL) displays Russian (Cyrillic) characters just fine. No Japanese characters, though.

interesting - bmw's spec that they provided me with indicated roman alphabet only. But that is great to know. I'll have to get a Russian song and try it.

English language and Latin language is not the same... English language do not have all the plethora of letters our there in the world; here in Denmark it's "?" and "?", in Sweden, Germany, Austria, parts of Switzerland, and even Turkey (!) it's "?" and "?", then you have "?" in languages as Czech or Polish, "?", "?" "?" and "?" in French and some in Spanish I believe. And don't forget the French car with an" ?", or why not "?" in Icelandic.

To mention a few.
