Default iPOD steering wheel control

The steering wheel controls do not work with an iPOD connected through the USP port in the center armrest All the iPOD data appears on the infotainment screen and can be controlled from there, but not from the buttons-thumbwheel on the steering wheel. The audio wheel controls work fine with AM and FM, and with all other functions. The iPOD also works fine in my C7 with the wheel controls. Am I missing something or is this a malfunction? (Apple car play works fine with my iPhone.)

iPod's are pretty obsolete now days. I'd be surprised many if any new cars fully support them. I'd be surprised if many, or any new cars fully support them fully.

Why not put the music on your iPhone instead of your iPod and then use CarPlay or Bluetooth to listen to it?

Could use the iPhone but not enough memory on current phone. I have over 400 albums on iPOD. Great on multi-day 8 hour trips.

Most modern iPhones exceed the capacity of iPods. 400 albums probably doesn't take up that much space on a 128 or 256 GB iPhone.

I have an iPod in my center console, connected to the USB port. The steering wheel controls work exactly as expected. Which generation iPod are you using?

(Not sure what a “USP port” is...).
