I hear you pal. My iPod is full of mandarin MP3s and those characters just don't show up on the iDrive.

Likewise - I don't have iDrive, but it'd be great to be able to get Mandarin characters in the radio display.

Jonathan: so there is no way to get the radio to display non-latin characters from ID3 tags provided by the 6FL option?

6FL only supports Latin/Roman extended alphabet (sorry I don't have better news).

In our cars, nothing is displayed on the radio. The radio is not a visible component. You either have a MID or a Bordmonitor, both of which receive info from the radio, satradio, TCU, or iPod.
