Hi

 

I'm pretty new to this forum, and I've been looking around the forum for a while but can't find anything on this.

 

Is it possible to make the knob (klickwheel) to interact with the iPod control?

Up = Menu, down = Play/pause, right/left = next/prev. track.

Do you mean using the iPod's clickwheel as a pseudo-remote control? I don't think that's an option at the moment.

yeah, and its not even really worth it. you risk disconnecting the unit. Also some people have it in glove boxes and such so it would be out of reach most of the time. my suggestion.... is no suggestion. its fine how it is unless you want a sony wireless remote. cause that works too.

I think he could mean the unit's knob? But it already does next/previous. I would personally love to see it able to be used for up/down on the menus

What I mean is that I want to be able to use the Avic's clickwheel (the one you change volume with) to control the iPod software buttons as seen on the picture above. with software buttons I mean the round circle with Menu, next/prev and play-pause.

 

Is it possible?

The only options you can use with the volume knob for iPod is left for previous/rewind, or right for next/fast forward. clicking up or down wont pause it or go into menu.
