You have not indicated what device(s) you want to interface with.

I wanted to interface with iPods so I put in a DD Mods interface and I like it. There are two types where one connects at the radio and the other at the rear CD changer if you have one.

Here is another option that uses the earplug output from almost any device including iPods. It can be mounted most anywhere in the car if you don't want to modify the stock radio look.

I have this one:

It uses the headphone jack instead of the iPod connector. Works great!

I did this last weekend but put the Aux plug above the Cig Lighter. Worked out perfectly and I can listen to Pandora!

Looks stock and I didn't have to rip into the radio as deep as in this post.

Here is exactly what I did with the CD Radio.

Here is the installed AUX jack location.

You can play music from your IPhone or IPod music library, Pandora, IHeart Radio or any other music app. Great digital sound through your factory Bose system. Reasonable price and well worth it.

If you aren't really hung up on 100% "perfect" sound...then use a cheap FM transmitter.

I have an old iPhone 4 and I use an old unit I have had for 5 years. It's called a Jam Cast. Plugs into the lighter, charges, and broadcasts over the radio.

Fit is a little tight with the shifter but I'll live with it. If that doesn't work for you, there are a ton of FM transmitter units out there that would work.

I have a unit from DD mods and it's worked flawless for years. My son got the GM AUX for his Firebird and it went bad within a month. Got it exchanged and the next one did the same thing. Junk...
