Default Newly installed USA-Spec 15 not as described, am I doing something wrong?

Hoping someone here can help me. IT sat around so long I finally decided to pay someone to just install it for me. It sounds great and I can use all the controls on the nav screen and steering wheel so thats good. Also upgraded my Sub again, this time to an 8 ohm so now Im not cutting out anymore and everything sounds excellent. But Im having a problem.

I have lots of playlists. On the nav screen display, It only shows as 9 discs. #9 I cant even access, 1-8 have no name or info whatsoever. When I get into them and play a song, the song info is at least displayed. 8 shows just (Direct Ipod) and thats it. No song or library info, nothing. I cant see any of my other playlists, any of my other song names, nothing. This isnt what Id call full integration as I cant see squat as to what Im playing, what Im skipping forward or back to, the names of my playlists etc, nada. I had done a good deal of research before going with the USA Spec and was confident this would not be the case.

What am I doing wrong?

Next up for me is to install a similar kit in my GX470 along with a DVD bypass kit. I ordered the Beat Sonic DVD bypass today and want to order the ipod kit so I can get them installed simultaneously. Now I have serious reservations about the USA Spec, yet even my installer told me I had made a good choice and was happy to install it for me as theyre usually very good kits. So can someone please help me to get the info I need on my screen so I can truly have Ipod integration and see what I am playing, see my playlists etc.? IF not, I guess Ill have to go the Vaistech route, but to be honest in looking at their pics and descriptions, they seem to be very similar, identical maybe even so I dont want to spend the additional $$ if I dont have to on a kit that might give me the same results.

You may have a dipswitch issue or you may not be familiar with how the USASPEC15 units operates. Let us know if this helps!
