I have the iPod/USB adapter cable. When I plug it in and switch to iPod in the head unit, the music just starts playing. I can figure out no way to start and stop music playback, nor does the manual indicate any way, using the MINI controls. Is there a way, other than switching away from iPod?

Also, why can't I get apps to play through the system? For example, I have the Waze GPS app in my iPhone. When I have the iPhone plugged in and selected, the Waze instructions still play through the iPhone speakers, not through the connection and the car speakers.

I'm just now trying to become familiar with WAZE. But I did notice that it has a sound setting indicating "Prefer Bluetooth." If you select that, it will output using Bluetooth regardless of the input selected on the car radio. I think the Y Connecter needs to NOT be attached to the iPhone. Volume of music playing will be reduced when receiving WAZE output. If you want no music, probably can achieve this by having input set to CD with no CD in the player.

 

UPDATE: With Waze bluetooth setting as above, Waze output can come through the car speakers even with the radio on/off button set to off.
