can it display song names from an ipod?

 

No...that is only possible through the use of the Axxess iPod Adapter as far as I know.

 

after reading through this thread it also made me think if we could retain our steering wheel controls like with the factory radio. and i stumbled upon this on the metra site

Metra Online
part no ASWC

steering wheel control unit . Has anyone tried using this ??

 

^ Never knew you could do that. Need more insight about this thing.

 

yea i didnt know about it and i thought only xcarlink had something that let us retain steering wheel control but seems like metra has it too but the thing is seems like no one has used it before so i dont know much about it and kind of skeptical to buy something like that

 

This is the solution.
