I really should update the first post of this thread. If anyone has posted news (or has some but hasn't posted) since... March, be it positive or negative, I'd appreciate it if you could provide the info as per the template in the second post of this thread. It saves me having to pick through every post for the key relevant details.

although theres no steering wheel controls to answer phone calls so you have to do it on the phone itself.

I can answer calls by pressing the 'track up' button on the steering wheel, and hang up calls by pressing the 'track down' button after.

Wow who would've thought, i'll have to test that!

Let us know how you go. I read it here on this thread somewhere so that was one of the first things I tried.

You bought it off me! Did you leave the 4 switches as were? I was using an iPhone connected only via the 30pin connector with full functionality.

What Model stereo do you have? My AnyCarLink unit didn't want to accept controls via my stereo (Model # PF-2551i). Ended up going with a GROM unit and works perfectly fine with headunit controls.

Haha i sure did, thanks again
Yeh i left the switches where they were and as i said, its all working fine, just no H/U controls, do you have the macintosh unit also? Do you think it could be something to do with my iphone, maybe with the way i have my music folders arranged or something?

Hi, have the macintosh "premium" stereo

Hi Tom, You'll need to be more specific. Grab the model number from the Sticker on top of the unit. You'll need to pull it out a bit to see the sticker. Also are you able to change sources on the AnyCarLink unit?

Yeah same head unit, i can't imagine the phone being the cause, theres no settings to change anything like that...
And i could change tracks whilst playing podcasts, spotify and the normal music app so i doubt its the playlists mucking up.

Make sure you're trying this whilst playing a playlist, wheres theres definitely another song in the queue

Cheers for the advice, i ll give this another go to tomorrow
