How can I use my car's stereo buttons to control my iPod?

I have a 2011 Honda Accord and I use an AUX cable to connect my iPod to it listen to music. However, i can't use my car's stereo buttons to control what songs to play. Only the volume buttons work. If i want to listen to another song, I have to change it on my iPod which can get annoying cause I'm driving. And I know I can just do playlists (which I do) but I have to make one everyday depending on what I feel like listening to, which gets really annoying. What can I do to use the stereo buttons? The only buttons i really need are the ones to go to the next song or to go back to the previous song. Is there a cable I need, or do i need to install something? or is it just impossible?

Answer:

Those iPods can only be controlled if it's hooked up via a USB cable. An 1/8 mini aux plug that you describe cannot transmit the needed info from the steering wheel to the iPod.
u could favor to purchase any stereo, truly purchase that adopter whats luk like an audio cassete, u could favor to plug that cassste in and placed the jack in ipod the position u placed headphones jack, ur ipod could play songs in vehicle
