HELP!!! I purchased my tC back in Feb. Its an 09 tC! I love the iPod Connect to listen to my music but its annoying that I see the song that is playing on my factor head unit. BTW its just the standard head unit no upgrades to it. I was in my friends tC which is an 09 also. Her's tC shows the song and can skip tracks from her steering wheel controls. Why does mine not do this?? The only thing mine says in "iPod Direct Connect" I tried quite a few iPod devices (original iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPod Nano 4th gen.) Any ideas why my Head Unit will not give me the song information or the option to skip songs? I have searched all over this forum and google and couldn't find any information to help me out.

Please help!!

There should be away to turn off the ipod direct connect, I cant remember exactly how to do it on the standard but look in the owners manual for it.

 

check the owners manual. i have a 07 so i can't really answer your question. This is prob easiest to just call in and ask haha

 

double-check the audio manual on this one, but I believe if you hold the Audio Cont button while the headunit is powered off, the option to change between direct ipod control ON and OFF should come up. Just pick off, and you should be good.

 

^^yea that sounds right, I couldn't remember because I only had the stock radio for a week.

 

so I double-checked this morning on my radio. here's

- put the ignition to ACC or ON
- power off the radio
- hold the "Audio Cont" button for 2-3 seconds
- iPod Direct Control ON/OFF should come up
- use the volume **** and change it to off
- press "Audio Cont" or Power and voila!

hope this helps!

 

thanks for everyones help!! I feel like such an idiot i thought i tried everything, i even tried callin the dealers service center and they were clueless!! Thanks again

 

Hi, new here, just got an 06 tC yesterday with the Pioneer system with the iPod control. I tried the above to set it so I can control the iPod from the iPod itself and the unit did nothing. I don't have the manual, any other ideas?

Thanks.

 

well, looks like this is probably not possible on the 06 in case anyone else is looking for the same thing.
