iPod Adaptors

[justinlw]

Anyone found an ipod adapter kit that works with factory buttons, and steering wheel controls? I've seen a few that claim to, but they use preset buttons for play, pause, etc. No one but me would be able to figure that out.

I had a kit on my BMW that used the play/pause/skip buttons, and presets were for playlist selection. Something equal to that would be nice.

Have you looked at the USA SPEC PA 15-GM ?
I installed it in my wie's Honda Pilot and it works pretty good. We can use the radio buttons and steering wheel controls with it.

Looks like what I'm looking for. Reviews of the unit are all over the place though! I'll give it a shot, thanks!

I used the iSimple Gateway. Works perfect with my iPhone 5s.

How do you select playlists and artists? Also, does factory xm still work?

XM still works and I don't have an answer to the others. If you look on the site, they have instructions.

I found an isimple gateway on eBay for $40. Should arrive today, we'll see what happens. Thanks for the help guys!

Installed, and I like it. Kind of a pain to get the control wheel on the ipod to work, but it sounds great. The stereo controls work, but it's hard flipping through 90gb of music through their interface. Guess I just need to make a few more playlists to make it easy.

Hey guys I was wondering if you coul help me out. I have an isimple gateway with the bluetooth module installed in my 2004 Yukon. It's worked great for a few months but yesterday when I switched the radio over to the bluetooth option the screen on the radio said "not available". I can't connect to it now and I can't do anything with the Bluetooth option. There's nothing in the manual and I can't find anything online that talks about a "not available" message. I really don't want to remove the radio... It's such a pain in the ass with all these extra wires and modules... Any help you have would be greatly appreciated!
