iSimple ISHD651 Install Writeup - With Pics!
#41
I just had this installed, i was wondering if anyone knows of a way to control the ipod while it is plugged in, when i plug my ipod in it just goes to a lock screen and wont let me control the music from the ipod, i am forced to use the controls on the dash which is a pain in the ass. I have a factory radio with the newest generation ipod classic. My car is a 07 TL w/Nav

I haven't tried it, but if you switch to the USB input mode instead of IPODUSB you may be able to do it that way. Too bad your Classic doesn't have Bluetooth...
That or you can use the AUX input with a 3.5mm jack.

Hey NebraskaJ, nice write up and thanks for posting the pictures up too. I just received all of the parts I need to install the iSimple unit in my 2008 TL-S. Mine will be going from the trunk to the center console area but my question is about running the cable into the center console. Will I need to drill a hole in the bottom of the center console unit to fit the wire through or is there an access hole / area where the cable can be run through?
I couldn't really see from your pictures if there is or isn't but I'm trying to make it a clean install and minimize on any kind of cutting.
The unit and cables I purchased are pictured in the thread linked below.

There aren't any holes available in the console - you'll have to drill a hole to run the cable through. Luckily you don't have to drill that big of a hole to fit the smaller end of the cable through... I'd recommend the forward (shifter) side of the console, like where I made my hole, so it's not that noticeable.

I'll just drill a corner out leaving enough room for the cable to fit through with a little slack. Hopefully it'll be an easy install tomorrow.

If I remember correctly there should be a opening that you can pry open with a flat tip? Could be wrong, been awhile since I installed mine.

I haven't been too happy with the bluetooth on mine. Garbles up calls when I'm handsfree with the car and bluetooth (ipodbt) thru the isimple I didn't hook up the mic figuring it would work with separate protocols for music and handsfree. Doesn't do this if I turn isimple bluetooth off and use ipodusb.
Also, bt streaming is awesome. But choppy sometimes.

When I plugged in my iPhone 5 into the iSimple harness I was not able to skip tracks using the steering wheel buttons on Pandora. I haven't tried with my iPhone 6 and I was also using the regular connection to lightning adapter.

Any comments to the user friendliness and steering wheel functionality for streaming apps like Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, Google Play Music, Vevo playlists or youtube playlists?

Its been working really well for me for the past 7 months but I turned it on today and the XM just stopped working and the unit does not even appear. Pressing XM button did not do anything. I was able to fix it last time by pulling the connector out and reconnecting-- but does anyone know an easier way?
Thanks

In my experience it mostly works.
