Hodaka Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with something that's been bothering me a little bit? I did search the forums and Google, but I can't seem to find any information on this. Maybe I'm just using the wrong search phrases... Anyhow, on the steering wheel controls, when I push the bottom lever upwards it increases volume rather than skipping to the next track. Is this normal? Pushing it down goes to the beginning of the track as I would expect. Any information would be much appreciated! I've attached and highlighted an image below to clarify what I'm referring to. Just as a little side note although I don't think it'd matter, this was happening with the OEM Bose HU, as well as the aftermarket HU (Pioneer AppRadio2 w/ steering control adapter from ICT). Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I have a Pioneer AVH-8500BT installed with the ICT harness. On random occasions I find that when I'm changing volume it skips a track instead. I just put this down to a glitch with the harness. It only happens on rare occasions so it doesn't really bother me. If yours is doing it all the time I would have thought it was the wrong steering wheel patch cable but if it did it on the old BOSE HU without the ICT harness then maybe not. Will be interesting to see if others have similar issues. Hope you manage to get this sorted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodaka Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Thanks for your input Cookie Yeah it's quite a strange issue that I can't really get my head around. Not the end of the world, but hopefully someone will be able to shed some light! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kano Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I've just installed a Sony head unit and am having a similar issue - previous track works fine but next track doesn't do anything. Pretty annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodaka Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 A few months ago I randomly tried holding it in the up position for a few seconds, and it skipped to the next track. I haven't tried since so I don't know if it works every time, but worth trying out. I'll try after work and see if it works for me again and will let you know.

Stutopia Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Every 50th or so time my Pioneer skips track on steering wheel volume up, not enough for me to get in a twist about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwanprice12 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Every 50th or so time my Pioneer skips track on steering wheel volume up, not enough for me to get in a twist about it. Snap. Or they don't work at all & randomly start working again! (Hasn't happened for a while touch wood!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
