2008 gl 450 ipod trouble

I just purchased a 2008 gl 450 and it has the ipod hook up in the glove box. I can play it and control it with the steering wheel and see the songs on the dash. I can not see what is playing on the center nav screen. Any help?

Does the car have Ipod integration or just an Aux jack?

Thats the way it works on the 2008 with so called ipod integration. Primitive,esp the maddening steering wheel control logic, and no nav display or nav unit control of ipod either, only by said steering wheel buttons
