unfortunatley, the ipod interface for the pioneer units isnt the greatest. u can check out the ipod adapters owners manual for how to use the functions on the avic-n2. to be brutally honest: your best bet is to use the aux imput and just plug in the ipod using the headphone jack.

the avicn2 has an aux imput you can use but if you have that taken up with a dvd player, PS2, or some other source, the part you need can be found below:

The part # for the aux imput is: CD-RB10

checking out a song list is probably not going to be possible - i have tried on our floor model without much success. if i can find a way to get better control using the interface, i will certainly post it up.

im soon to get a pioneer h/u and the ipod adapter.. i prolly wont mind the functions, i jus want sumthin that will sound good, unlike the FM transmitters, f*ck i hate those, i hav been listenin to the same 4 cds forver,,, cuz im too damn lazy to lug up the ol' cd case (which is huge) and change em...

category - band

list - up or down arrow

back or forward song - right or left arrow

ff or rw - hold right or left arrow

select function - A.Menu & then Function

Pause - touch send in function 1

repeat - touch send in function 2

random play - hold send in function 2

switch display - touch send in function 3

switch between auto & manual - touch auto & manual

FM transmitters don't suck... i used to think so until i bought the... iRiver AFT-100 FM Transmitter... you can get it at bestbuy and crap... but for $50 you get crystal clear sound, i highly recommend this to anyone

i have an extra fm transmitter that i will sell for very cheap, if not free, if you want to try it out. the only problem is it didnt come with the ac adapter for the cigarette lighter (thats the reason i bought a different one), but it still works well. you just either have to get the adapter or use a lot of batteries.
