Let's say I put this in my car's iPod USB input, can I control the music with the controls on the steering wheel?

No. You would control the music from your iPod. I don't think you can plug this in to the USB port as it requires the 30 pin connector unless you have an adaptor of some kind.

I believe so. My vehicle does not have steering controls for phone but all other audio steering wheel functions work perfectly, including audio streaming from an iPhone 5.

Uh, I would say yes...I have it on my car with the steering wheel controls, the issue was that I needed to buy an extra adapter and program it...you may have to do that as well.

There is a USB from the back so you should be able to plug your IPOD cable into it and control it with the IPOD. Read the instructions on the Alpine web site the see how to switch it from head unit control to IPOD. Should work fine.

My experience is that the USB is only used to POWER the device, not to actually transfer music data. To hear the music you have to use the headphone port on the opposite side and plug THAT into a "line in" on the car stereo. If you don't have a "line in" on your stereo, this product is probably not for you. Cheers.

We use this adapter with our iPods in our Hyundai Accent and we can use the dash controls. I don't know about the wheel controls as our car does not that. It tells the name of the song and the album/singer name on the radio dial. Works great highly recommend!

i don't have a steering wheel with volume controls. but it works pretty good. sometimes when a call comes through and it goes back to the radio, the radio will be on full volume and i cant turn it down. i have to change back to bluetooth to get it to go away. kind of annoying but i can deal with it. if i had a system in my truck though it would be a whole different story

With this iPod adapter the up down (left side) controls the song selection. The song playing is displayed on the center gauge info area. This will not help if your up/down button is malfunctioning but it does allow control from steering wheel controls

My experience is that you can connect a USB thumb drive with mp3 music on it, and use the controls on the outside of the case to control your music. The other input is a standard 1/8 inch jack. It will work with anything, but then the only control on the outside that works is the volume. I don't think it will actually control iPhone or iPod. I know it won't control my iPod touch 2nd gen. For the money though, it's a great little device, they just need to add a security cable so you can leave it locked on your bike when you go in somewhere and not worry about it walking away.

Works fine with my stock radio. Navigating the menu is a little tricky though. Steering wheel controls work for volume/next/back. Source must be controlled by the head unit. Plugs into iPod classic. I hooked up a Bluetooth dongle to the iSimple to play music off my phone and that works too. But to talk on the phone, not so good.

No it cannot. It is only used to plug into your phone/mp3 player and essentially turns your music device into its own radio station. You set it to an unoccupied station and then tune your car radio to that same station and it will play the songs that you choose to play off your music device.

Yes... Although once it is connected you can only control the music using the iPod, not the car stereo.

I'm not sure about the steering control wire. But the USB and Bluetooth works excellent.

Yes and no. I got my car stereo awhile ago and at the time had a few different devices I needed to control (cd changer, satellite receiver Ipod, etc) I could control with it. But these days I keep it simple... my phone as an mp3 player or with Pandora connected via Bluetooth. The remote will work as a controller in that regard, but I am not sure it will work controlling any other devices. But since getting a replacement controller to replace the original one would have run 39 - 50 bucks.... I decided to take a chance with this one at under $10. It does what I need it to do and much less Rusk money wise. Hope this helps. Yes and no.
