If you pull up the shift boot console, there is a nice little cubby right underneath the radio portion that fits the module piece nicely. Just be sure to leave it somewhat accessible in case you have to reset or change the dip switches. Good luck!

 

Yea man deff looks real clean sorry but gonna have to bite your style and copy you.

 

damn, I guess I am lucky! Hope you get it fixed soon!

I'm not lying, my setup becomes integrated when the ipod is plugged in and can only be controlled by the headunit or steering wheel buttons until the ipod is unplugged.

 

Yeah me too!

As far as being able to control your Ipod directly, you must access the direct mode somehow. In the manual it said that if I hit pre set button 5 it would go into direct mode. This didn't work for me, but I learned if you hit the "pty cat" button twice it would go into direct mode and let me control the Ipod directly. Try screwing around with it.

 

This is wrong! Well, I'm not saying that you're wrong, but your kit isn't working properly. Mine was doing the same thing and then I called tech support, they helped me get the right DIP switch configuration and then program my kit to use the "folder" mode OR "direct" mode. All I have to do is hit preset 1 for my playlists, 2 for artist, 3 for albums and, I believe, 4 or 5 for direct mode. Def check your DIP switches because the manual is wrong! The two configurations are switched. I highly suggest calling tech support. They were extremely helpful.

Also, one thing I just found out is that the manual says to use the Tune up/down button to scroll, well I found that, if everything is configured properly, the PTY/Cat button does it much quicker.

 

You may not be lying, but this isn't right.

 

Interesting... What year config do you have? I think the manual was pretty bad, and quite confusing. The actual installation is self explanatory but the setup is very confusing. I set the dip switches (1 = on, 2 =off, 3= on, 4 = off) how it said in the manual and setup the folder mode as they said. But it didn't function like it was supposed to. Then a day later I had no sound at all. I called tech support twice, and they finally just told me to send the unit back for an exchange.

 

I have an 07 coupe that is sat ready. I agree that the manual is terrible. I can't remember how I ended up configuring the dip switches, but i know it was the opposite of what was listed in the manual. Once you get your new set, call tech support and they'll tell you the correct dip swith configuration.

Once I got mine working, I found it to be quite easy to use.

 

Will do, thanks for the help man.

 

No worries. Good luck.

 

Yah, but you said:

as if it is not possible. But it is. I can control the iPod function on my iPhone from the steering wheel controls, head unit, or the iPhone itself - all in one mode and without having to disconnect anything.

Yes, I am using the PA15-NIS. I have an '06 non-Bose head unit and am not satellite ready.

I can change tracks and adjust volume from the steering wheel controls and head unit. I can also change tracks, playlists, etc. from my iPhone directly.

 

Thanks for the info. I emailed text support about my problem w/ text display and the guy asked me if my car came equipped w/ a text button on the head unit. Does my 07' Sat ready, non-navigational bose head unit have a text button?

 

Do you have a "disp" (display) button? If so, I believe this is what the guy is talking about.

 

Yep, played w/ it last night (the car that is) and a simple push of the display button fixed my text problem. I felt like a retard because I didn't think of that.

 

Eh, look at it this way, you got to play with it (your car) and you fixed the text problem. Be happy.
