the only solution i have ever found appears to be nla. it was a kensington liquidaux deluxe and i still run one in my car. it was a charger/holder for the iphone/ipod that gave you an aux-out line, but it came with a little remote that gave you the basic ipod functions (track forward / back, play / pause, stop). here is the link but like i said it is nla.

Hi Nineball...Thanks for the info. I have read many of your audio posts with interest - Good stuff!
I would have liked to run my iPhone directly from the radio as Dobrjan did. I sent a PM to him - actually two- but unfortunately I haven't heard back from him. Must be away.
Preamble: I have an amp that I run my iPhone directly off of but it only has one set of inputs so I just pulled the radio's RCA's out and plugged in a new RCA cable for the iPhone - All the 'head' does now is turn the amp on and off.
Question: To be able to use the radio, is there some kind of switch?/splitter? that would allow me to use
one or the other through this one input?...I have searched around the web looking for something but I haven't been able to find anything.
I wouldn't mind if it was a manual type switch/slitter at the amp. The amp is mounted on the right side of the luggage area so I ran the wires through a grommet that had a couple of looms entering around the back of the glove box.
What I did find on the web that others may also find of interest was this remote that will allow me to adjust the volume including changing tracts...Inexpensive - $40.00 - plus it can also be used in the house.

Looking forward to your thoughts on the matter. Thanks
