F3T and iPhone audio control
Hi,
I've seen many post regarding the iPod control with the Spyder but I haven't found an answer to this question.
I use my iPhone, connected to the USB port with a lightning cable, with Spotify.
When I use the control button on the Spyder (mode, Set, up/down, left/right), I can skip a song and I can see what is playing on the screen.
Is there a way to control the play/pause function ?
When I go to a different audio (AUX, Radio, ...), Spotify pause automatically. When I put the key to off position, Spotify also pause automatically. When I start it back, it goes to play by itself.
The only thing missing is the possibility to play/pause by a touch of a button.
I'm I missing something ?
Thanks !

I use an older I-Pod, and it does the same. I don't think there is a button to pause it. It was that way on my 2014 RT as well.

Same as above answers. No pause. Volume/skip to next/prev track and thats about it. Mute is my way of pausing lol.
One suggestion if you REALLY want to retain the full controls would be to mount the iphone with a center handlebar mounted RAM mount. That keeps the phone within arm's reach and right up close, and you could keep all music functions that way. I have it for the navigation functions and its great. You could easily just do that and toggle back n forth between music functions and navigation.

Thanks for the input.
I actually also have a ram x-mount for my phone.
As the phone sometimes lock itself or when i'm using my GPS, I was looking for a way to use the play/pause with my thumb on the control instead of going through the iPhone menu.
I was kind of hoping that it was just because I was not aware of how to do it but it looks like it's just the way it is.

Thats really odd. My iphone does not lock in nav mode. That makes no sense lol. How would they expect you to be able to use it? oh well thought id throw it out there. Sorry.

Only way I have seen to pause an iPxxx is to switch it to AUX input. (mode button set button) To play, switch 5 times back to USB (mode button set button set button set button set button set button). It will sometimes get lost and begin playing your library in alphabetical order. I get an ear worm of Abracadabra in my head when that happens. "abra abra cadabra I wanna reach out and grab ya..."
