iSimple issue
What's up guys!!! I'm not sure if anyone may have a solution to this but here it goes. For some reason my isimple will not display the song name/artist, etc on my navi screen. When I first had it professionally installed a few weeks ago it worked. Now all I see is the display saying AUX. I can't change the display from saying AUX, the mode is in XM1 and even when I switch to XM2 it's the same display. I just want it to show the name of the song off my iPhone/itouch. If it's an easy fix I'd rather do it then go all the way back to the shop that installled it and wait for them to troubleshoot it.
Also I can't change the song from my steering wheel controls. Any input on why that is? Thanks guys for all your help!!

i think you need to hit the mode button on the tl console to change it. Pac Audio's UHON-1 is a much better product and they actually have tech support to help customers with issues such as these.

You have Navi correct so then you should have nav-traffic, regardless if you actually use it. You will need the newer harness and hook it up in the trunk not behind the radio. If this is how you have it then(behind the radio) you'll have to order the PGHHD2 harness. And if that is the case that you do need it you'll also have to flip the #2 dip switch "ON". Follow the install sequence of the harness connections correctly and in the order it says to and make sure the firmware is updated.
And as for changing the song thru the steering wheel, if you press the "CH" up button once it'll turn on repeat track IIRC. You need to hold the button til you hear the beep and then the song changes. It takes a little bit of time to get used to the controls but they are pretty simple.

On my 04 with navi, the disp/mode button will change what is displayed. I can also change tracks from the steering wheel. I would also guess that this is a harness thing.

It needs to be in "ipod connect" mode. I don't have a navi but on my non-nav to get into ipod connect mode, I hit the am/fm button then the xm button. after that, cycle through the options (aux, sat, ipod ) select ipod and the hit preset 6.
I know this because I called the isimple customer support lol, hope this helps.

It sounds like you are in the input selection menu of the iSimple. Can you change the iSimple input selection by going out of XM to say FM and then back to XM; then turn the right selector knob to select one of the other inputs, say SAT? If you can do this, can you keep turning the knob and select iPod?
Just need to know where to start to make suggestions.
