JAR897 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Hey. I'm pretty sure you can change the track of the iPhone via the steering wheel. It is exactly the same as an iPod when in iPod mode. I'm not sure about if you set a song to play then return to the home screen though. Try changing track when the iPhone's iPod app is still active. ??? I could be wrong but there is no reason why it shouldn't work! ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truly55 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I have an iPhone 3G and it works a peach in the wife's 09 Fiesta. It certainly does change tracks from the steering wheel. Have you tried a different Ford Y cable to see if it's that that's causing the issue. I presume also that your iPhone is running latet software (V 2.2.1) although I don't for a minute think it would be that. My best guess is it's either the cable or may the USB port in the car? When the iPhone is connected and you press 'Aux' in the car are you able to see your device on the matrix display, ie does it specifically identify your device?

RIIIDAA Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 had this with my ipod, u go in to the aux settings on the stereo and set it to ipod mode, as opposed to usb flash etc. Then it does as you'd hope each time u plug the bugger in subsequently, oh and both parts of the Y have to be plugged in.
