I purchased a USB Aux cable adapter for my 2009 Hyundai Elantra and it works as described - displays the song name on the stereo screen, and I can select a particular category like Playlists or Artists and then the respective sub-categories (specific artist, album, song). However, navigating through my iPod's music via the stereo controls (scrolling through artists by turning the Tune knob, for one) can be a bit tedious, especially while I'm driving. If it'seven possible, how can I connect my iPod to the car stereo but still control the music using the iPod itself? Scrolling on the iPod would be much faster. By the way, I'm using a 6th gen iPod classic (80GB).
A couple of options If using a standard aux cord you can simply plug your ipod in through the headphone port, and select your song and playlist through your ipod. You have full control over your ipod. If using the factory hyundai aux/usb cable. It has a usb and aux (pressed together) that you put into the ports of the elantra. Then the extension is to be plugged into the bottom of your ipod. You have minimal control over your ipod in hand. All you will be able to do with this is to select a playlist, and plug it in. My suggestion if you are using the oem hyundai aux/usb that I'm talking about. Is to go out and buy a normal aux cable. Its a 3.5 to 3.5mm jack. That way you will have control over your ipod, but you will not be able to skip the track through the stereo, and Steering wheel controls(if equipped) However. It's all in control with your phone like you want. Good luck!
