I recently bought a iSimple product from Best Buy. This product Model # PXAMG for a 2005 F150. I installed the product, which integrates an iPod hook-up for factory stereos. My problem is the music flows system and plays but I do not have any control over the ipod through my stock stereo as the product mentioned I would. I have done a little research with no avail. The owners manual states to 'update the ipod's firmware and they reset the ipod.' My iPod nano is current will all updates. I am puzzled, I currently have the PXAMG un-installed and waiting to see if I need to have professional installed. Any help would be awesome, thanks. :Smirk:

Yeah, my radio has the "AUX" button and has the correct harness. My stereo connects with the iPod, and plays the songs. The problem is I cannot 'seek' to other songs or choose playlist. Basically, I have no control over the iPod.

I can only suggest reviewing this list of "DOs" to see if you overlooked something. My understanding from some brief reading is that this is supposed to work through a Satellite Radio or HD Radio hookup. Your AUX hookup might be the issue.
