You can control the iphone from the steering wheels and go thru the standard menu of the iphone and pick what you want (music, podcasts, etc).
I agree it is a much better integration in MY2010 with the command center but it works fine with MY2009. Feel free to PM me if you want more details
I would be interested if the dealer is willing to move the cable from glovebox to center console and that the updated cable can also take any outgoing audio signal from the iphone, so IheartRadio, Netflix, Pandora, Spotify etc will be integrated.

Any explanation as to why my 09 can choose songs on the UMI screen? I've always wondered why other people with 09's say they can only shuffle through songs from the dash display.

I doubt it. At least not the dealers I've talked to.

It kinda involves warranty issues. Unless they know you well, or else they would not do anything on the electrical circuit to avoid any potential trouble.

I gets put into shuffle mode. You can only skip tracks via the steering wheel controls.

One quick and easy solution for your audio streaming situation is a device called a CoolStream Bluetooth Receiver. It is only $39.99 on Amazon and it connects right to the ipod cable in your glovebox. All you do is pair your phone to the CoolStream when you get in the car and you can stream anything you like from your phone while you keep your phone right next to you. I am loving mine, you should check out their website www.CoolStream.co. The quality is good, and you can't beat the price with no mechanic involved.
