Ipod Is All Hooked Up
Well, it took two transmitters (first one was bad) and ordering an alternate cord, but things are done.
First, I purchased the ipod2car and PXHGM4 cord from cardomain.com. I ran the cord from my ipod2car back from the head unit (transmitter box underneath the Climate Controller) to my armrest console. Here is a picture of the ipod laying in the armrest, notice the small hold I made to run the connector into the armrest:
I purchased some FROST KING at LOWE's for $15 and ensured that the tunnel under the armrest and console were insulated really well to prevent the heat from bothering my wiring. If you noticed I allowed enough cord to be available to be able to remvoe the ipod while connected so I can do as I want with my music.
Everything is working perfectly and thanks to the help of several members that hang out here in AUDIO, I was able to finally get this done.
Thanks,
Micah

glad it was an easy fix. too bad you had to be one of the bad ones though.
This is only the beginning, now your gonna want to swap other things out. TRUST ME!!! I started right where you did.

I know, I was thinking about new speakers last night.
BTW, watch, this morning, I will drive to work and things will not work.
Thanks Jason, not as cool as your setup, but I will take the compliment!

You guys are going to get me thrown in the dog house, but at least I will have my car to go back too.
I will discuss it and see where this leads, may need advice on what to do next.
Not sure when that will be.
