iPhone Integration Impossible?
I recently purchased a whole new "system" (DCI and all) and was told by Crutchfield that the Kenwood KDC-MP538U would allow me to connect my iphone and I could control my music from it. Well, wrong, it works with ALL other iPods, my old 4th gen, video and iTouch. It charges but other than that, nothing. This head unit also has a USB connection and it plugs right into the iPhone, charges and takes control. But for obvious reasons I don't want to use the headunit to nav for aritsts, songs, etc... Have also tried a 3G iphone in hopes I would HAVE to upgrade, but it does even charge.
My question is do any of you guys have a good aftermarket HU with a iPhone attached and are able to select your music through the phone? Maybe you have seen someone with this? If so you are better than crutchfeild!
Got 30 days to return and hopefully modifry is willing to exchange if need be. So what ya got?

I'm not sure I even understand the question.
Is anyone here currently able to do this with an aftermarket HU and an iphone?

Ah, I understand now.
Sorry, I don't have any experience with that. I have used two different interfaces for iPods to HUs, and both "took control" of the iPod. I am able to use playlists to control my music selection, and then forward/back work. However, finding a specific song doesn't work well.
