The head unit and steering wheel still allows to control volume and scroll through songs on an album.

I originally mounted to right of shifter. Hated it, almost crashed. Moved up to vent above radio and works fine. Now I can find songs and still look out windshield.
Not really. You are able to browse the iPod by Artist, Albums and Playlists. Buttons 1-5 on the radio are just a quick "speed dial" for your first 5 playlists.

Lots of people mount the iPod in the cargo area. Just coil up the wire bundle in case you change your mind later - the cradle can be brought into the cabin area later.
