Want iPhone/iPod controls while using Alpine KCA-420i interface.
Hello:
I currently have a Alpine KCA-420i controller to interface with my iPhone. However I really don't like scrolling through music on the Alpine head unit (HU). I would prefer to use the iPhone's iPod interface however when I plug my phone in to the Alpine KCA-420i is disables the iPod controls on the phone and only allows the HU to control the music selection and playing. Does anyone know of work arounds for this?
BTW... it was stated that controlling the iPod from the HU is safer than from the iPod/iPhone itself but I beg to differ. It is a lot easier to navigate the iPhone menus and the small 3 line display on the Alpine HU.... you have to scroll forever on the HU.
Thanks,
Marvin
