(But I will wait on that at least till the new Kenwood HUs come out and/or I make a final decision on getting a carputer).
So there is a workaround . Good now I can put it to use in my Pio 4050.
Veb I dont think the random feature will be much different in other HU's. If you select next, they may play the next random song but still they might play a song repetadly.

I dont know about IPod, but my media players(an iriver and my sony ericsson walkman) do not play in perfect random mode without any repeat of the songs. And my guess is that most of the HU's will keep repeating the same song in random mode. The probablity of repetiton increases as you keep listening to the list, meaning there will be more repeat of songs as you progress through the list
