Sports Steering wheel with Ipod install

BruceJ · 08-08-2012, 06:35 PM

Had the intravee installed for a while. Finally ran the cable thru the tunnel and out the ash tray. When not in use I can tuck it out of sight. Full functionality with music I own. Limited functionality while I'm running Rhapsody. No searches but it will allow me to change songs fwd/bkwrd within the playlist using steering wheel controls. Nav screen will show the first song but will not update afterward unless I cycle the mode thru AUX, Radio, CD and CD changer. Thats a Schoshe passport between the calbe and the IPod. It allows play and charge, just like we think it should work. Mounted the Ipod on a Pro-Clip, didnt know it existed before - Thanks Stihlbolts
Lifes' good!

Does Intravee work with Rhapsody? I swear this didn't work for me. Any special version of the Intravee software that you need?

It does work with Rhapsody. It didnt with Napster. Otherwise, sorry I didnt state it as: Intravee II (firmware 6.01) and a Touch 4 (IOS 5.1.1). I think I was running a Touch 2 back in the Napster days so maybe thats why it didnt work.
There is some evidence from the Intravee forum about compatibility with DRM music. You may need to login to access this:

I also started my own thread there to see if it can get better:

Excellent, thanks! I'll keep an eye on those forums.

I believe that the Intravee V6.02 firmware fixes the track display update problem when using Pandora/Spotify.

Thanks - Updated it today - It kind of fixes it. May just be me getting used to things. Seems like it updates the track itself but not the album or artist - sometimes. It definitely has more functionality. Also seems like it lets me do searches within the rhapsody playlists. It also changes the control over the IPOD a little; i.e. "pause" seems to be only controlled though the intravee menus where before I could control it through both the IPOD and the menus. I will be reading the 6.02 manual to see what the book says....

Would you happen to be RichardP - admin/Guru on the Intravee forum?

Update at 930pm - Played with it for about an hour using just Rhapsody - Search functions seem to lead back to non DRM music but overall I'm pretty happy.
