Since there appears to be no way to easily control play lists on the device from another device (your stereo system), I find it more convenient to go wireless and connect via bluetooth. I then use a windshield-mount and have the phone close at hand for control. If you leave the bluetooth function on (shortens battery life) your "convenience factor" will be affected more by how the phone pairs to your stereo than anything else. Is it automatic or is there a manual pairing procedure that takes a while to complete?
