iPod added have static
Added gm10 aux to 2002 vert with cd changer. I have static in background . I am not sure I have a good ground. Would this cause static? Where is a good ground in area of trunk cd changer? Was under the impression I would be able to control iPod with radio controls. Is thee a easy to install unit that can control iPod by radio controls? Thanks

There's nothing to ground with the GM10-Aux, it just plugs into existing changer cable 
Are you powering the ipod from the car somehow? See if the static goes away with it on batteries only.
If you want to control ipod from radio you can get limited controls with this adapter

Then you either don't have the GM10-Aux, or you have extra stuff in addition to it. The GM10-Aux connects to the changer cord on one end, and has two RCA inputs on the other, there isn't any part of it that would supply power to an ipod.
You can try putting one of these between the GM10 and the cable running to the ipod, it may work.

You can drill a small hole in rear wall and run wire to ground on rear bumper. It's just inside the inner passenger tail light IIRC.
