2009 Sedan Audio System - Issues/Notes

[yarix]

Vehicle 2009 Yaris Sedan S with iPod and Aux connections
Toyota Part Number PT546-52090
Pioneer Model DEH-M8337ZT, Faceplate Logo T1810
4 OEM speakers (about to be changed)

1. I'm having an issue where I can not play podcasts from iPod.
The only options are Playlists, Artists, Albuns and Songs.
The workaround I'm using is to select the podcast by artist, not optimal...

Another problem is you can not skip podcast chapters, bad.
I turned Direct Control On (iPod master / Audio system Slave) but then you lose the multi selector functions to navigate the iPod. I turned it back Off.

2. Does anybody know the DSP (off/compact/sedan/minivan) spectrum changes ? I set mine to sedan but I do not hear much difference between settings...

3. Do you know af a longer iPod cable ? The OEM cable PT546-21062 is VERY short.

4. ASL works fine, I like it.

5. Text works fine but I wish it had a scrolling mode.

6. Do you know of system settings other then iPod direct control on/off ?

7. Yes, I read the manuals and these are the questions I could not get an answer.
