Hi guys,
My neighbor just got his 9857 (even though I tried to push him towards the 880-lol) and while playing around the HU and it's menus we ran across something weird.
We hooked up his iPod and started to fool aroudn to see what it can and can not do....
Q: is it just us, or is there no "GENRE" selection in the 9857??
On my Pioneer 880 I can simply turn the knob, then select musinc by the usual: artist, song, album.....etc.....and of course GENRE.
On his Alpine we could NOT find the GENRE.
I looked in the HU manual and only found 2 pages referencing iPod; nowhere did it mention full features/etc.
Are we missing something, or is it simply not supported by Alpine??
Thanks.

PS:
You all setup your pods/etc different ways, but for people like me, wholike to que in a "type" of music and listen to various artists/songs within the same category, this feature is crucial. I can't imagine choosing different artists/etc everytime I want to hear a different song in my "heavy metal" collection (for example).
