How to utilize folders with Creative Labs Zen in '07 Camry

Have a 2007 Camry. I love being able to plug my mp3 player and get sound thru the speakers. However, I'm trying to figure out how to advance/skip a song with the steering wheel controls. Without the steering wheel controls, I have to advance thru the mp3 player (Creative Labs Zen).

What am I missing on getting the steering wheel controls to work and, do you know how to get the folder feature to work on the dashboard panel?

If you are plugging in your mp3 player via a 3.5mm headphone jack, then you will not be able to control anything other then volume. The 3.5mm jack is making your Camry's speakers act as 'headphones' for your zen, which means all you can do is increase or decrease output from those speakers.

Unless you get a special adapter that may plug into your Camry's radio and the other end being the data connection on your Zen, there's no way to change songs unless you do it on the Zen itself.

That applies to any car that connects to mp3 players with a 3.5mm connection.

I own a zen and there is no accompanied remote control. There may however be a USB dongle or adapter that will allow for remote control acess of your zen player, I haven't found the need for one as interfacing the player is quite easy.
