No. Just plug it in and your car will recognize the iPod and whatever playlists plus your library. The iPod controls are disabled, and the steering wheel controls are the only ones that will work to control the iPod.

Hmmm. Does your display show 'iPod>'? This would indicate that the iPod is connected, recognized and that 'AUX' is activated.

Are you just using the dock connector? You're not somehow using both the headphone output and dock connector at the same time?

My only other guess is that the installation was done incorrectly.

btw - sorry for the much later response this time, was without internet access.

(I'm not expecting COMAND integration with my old-school COMAND, just a nice cradle to plop the G5 iPod into)
-thnx
