Default Re: Use of steering wheel controls for iPod

I can't always get to respond and then when it does respond, I have passed the track that I want to listen to.

Do the steering wheel controls only work when listening to music on the iPod?
Yes if the IPOD is pluged into the Aux Audio in Jack in the center console only Volume can be controled. If you want to be able to Control the IPOD or see the Track names (If You have a NAV equiped TCH) you will need an IPOD interface. They connect to the back of the radio, so the radio would need to removed to install one. There are many on the market.

The VAIIS SLI is popular. I have one and it works great.
