The iPod adapter gives you high quality audio, power and charging of the iPod as well as control on the radio and steering wheel (if equipped). If your radio supports text, you will be able to see text on the radio or navigation display. With the Neo ProLink you have two modes to use your iPod with your radio, Direct and Playlist modes. In Direct Mode you will be able to access and use the menu, click wheel, track and play/pause buttons from the iPod. You can change tracks on the iPod AND from the track buttons on your radio and steering wheel controls.
