Does anyone know how to pause an iPOD using the ECC ?

[ThreeWheels]

I know this isn't a big deal, but here is my issue.

When I ride, sometimes I want to listen to music, other times I don't. On long rides I may want to change back and forth.
I generally listen to tunes on my iPOD hooked up in the back. I have the iPOD set to shuffle so I don't hear the same music all the time.

I know how to skip to the next song, go back, change playlists, increase/decrease volume etc.

When I want to totally silence the tunes, I want to do it by pausing the iPOD.
If I use the mute feature on the ECC, then that mutes the GPS as well. This can be suboptimal.

I've set up a playlist for"Silence" and can select that to quiet the music while still hearing the GPS instructions, but when I want to change back to the previous playlist, it starts from the beginning of the list and it loses the shuffle function.

Yeah, yeah, I know this isn't a big deal, but does anyone know if I'm missing a simple instruction ?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

You are not missing anything that I know of. There are distinct limits to the ECC control.

I simply unplug the Ipod, and listen to music and directions on the Garmin........

Thanks. I've tried that as well. When riding single that works well, but if I have a passenger, or if I'm riding with other bikes the GPS has the higher priority so it shuts down the intercom and CB.

Again, this isn't a deal breaker, just a minor annoyance.

I guess at this point there is no real solution. I just wonder if the programming boys at BRP would be able to devise a solution or is this hardware limited. I suppose time will tell.

Thanks to both of you for the help.
