Default iPod display/control from NAV system
I am working on an iPod interface to allow iPod control and song/artist/album info display from the NAV unit. I have made an ACP interface to allow me to retrieve and decode the ACP messages sent to/from the NAV head unit. I think that I may be able to use the DVD player control software to display this info. The FEH did not come with a DVD option, but I think that the NAV head unit has the control software in it (go to the system information screen and press the HW button). Because the CDDJ control messages are the same for different Ford vehicles (CDDJs with 12 pin jacks anyway), I'm assuming that the factory DVD players will be the same. If anyone has any info on the Ford DVD players please let me know. I would just buy one if they didn't want $1000 for it.


Thanks,

Mike
