I love the concept of an Android based head unit (even though I am an Apple guy), but the one feature that seems to be lacking with these units is iPod control.
If I plug my iPod or iPhone into my factory car stereo via USB, I can select music by artist, genre, playlist, etc. It also displays album art and song info.
From what I can tell though, none of the Android head units do this. CarJoying told me that theirs will do play/pause forward/back, but that's all.
I found a thread somewhere that says that the ca-fi dashlinq4 won't do it either (I haven't been able to confirm anything about the new dashlinq ct).
Is there some technical barrier that I am not seeing or has it just not been done yet?
