Glad I could help some of you. One thing I noticed, it worked the first time I tried it. After stopping at the grocery store and coming back out and plugging it in again, it only said aux connected. I had to unplug and plug it in again before it recognized it and went into ipod mode. Today I plugged it in to the phone first and then the car and it started right away, I don't know if one part is supposed to be connected before the other but try a different way if it doesn't work the first time.
