Steering Wheel controls...
You've got that kind of integration through Aux-in *alone*?

Impossible. There has to be something else... something USB... interfacing with your factory head-unit. Or Bluetooth...

Aux-in alone will not integrate between a factory head unit and steering wheel mounted volume control.

Can you skip forward and back and pause from the steering wheel? Does the info from your phone (track, band, song, duration, place in the song) display on your head unit display?

There must be something I'm misunderstanding in what you've said above.

But I agree, Motoogle's direction with creating a singular USB/HDMI port configuration *and* a line of accessories that leverage that port configuration is absolutely *the right direction*. Now they just need to release that configuration into the wild and let ANYONE make devices... like my head-unit suggestion or competitive keyboard docks or whatever else, or use that port configuration on their own brand of phones. Make that a standard and let everyone else struggle with proprietary interfaces. That may be the most interesting development we'll see this year - but I don't think we'll see it catch fire in 2012.
