Can I still use the controls on my iPod?

YES. Effective with the latest firmware upgrade, you will be able to control the iPod from the radio or the iPod itself. The default is radio control. To use the iPod controls, remove the cable from the bottom of the iPod while it is playing. Leave it disconnected for approximately 3 seconds and then reconnect it. Playback will resume where it left off. To return to radio control mode, follow the same procedure.

Will my factory Steering Wheel Controls operate the iPod too?

The steering wheel controls will perform the same functions as their radio counter-parts when using the iPod and XM radio (if so equipped) functions. You will only have volume control when you're using the AUX input function.

What can the AUX input be used for?

The AUX input on this interface uses a cable with female RCA connections. (XIAH-RCA – optional). A direct connection using RCA jacks is FAR superior to FM modulated or cassette adapter devices. Any number of audio sources can be connected using the RCA jacks. If your device doesn't have male RCA plugs, you can purchase a simple RCA to stereo mini (headphone) jack adapter from us. The many uses of the AUX input include:

• Connecting an mp3 player (iPod, ZEN, iRiver, etc) to get audio through the speakers.

• Connecting a portable or aftermarket in-car DVD system to get audio through the speakers

• Connecting a CD changer to get audio through the speakers

• Connecting another external satellite tuner (Sirius, for instance) to get audio through the speakers

• And many more (Call or email with questions)
