Might depend on the radio/HU you are using. I use a Kenwood 9960 and the iPod adapter cable is not compatible with iPod touch models (does not recognize unit at all, only sees a USB storage device). Make sure you check specifics and don't just see "for use with iPods"
a note from Kenwood on their product page:
Note: Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change functionality results. If you download a newer software version, you may need to reset the headunit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If this doesn't work, you may need to revert to the older software version or wait until an newer software update is available. Not compatible with iOS 4.0 for iPhone (3G/3GS) or iPod touch (2nd/3rd gen).
The ones I've seen seem to work fine once you get the radio to recognize that it's there. If you have issues, check out post #9 of C5 audio faq for tips on how to get gm10-aux connected, the radio should act about the same with any aftermarket device.
