Default Which cable to connect an iPOD?

Anyone know which cable to use on this site to connect iPOD to the factory radio in an 04 Coupe with CD player?

Not sure on that page. I would think that the GM-10 Aux is the one on that page but it looks different than the one in the link I posted below. This one will work:

I am not sure about wiring directly to the head unit, but I bought an adaptor from . It connects to the stock cd changer in the rear hatch. It works ok, has it quirks but i'm definatley satisified with it. It also charges the iPod while the car is off.

ipod2car

thats what you need or icruze

the ipod2car is cheaper and connects easily as unplugging cable from cd-changer unit in the boot, and taking that cable and attaching it to a 'gender bender' (GM-10AUX or something cable $20) -- then the ipod2car easily connects to THAT cable

... from there its a snap, the ipod2car has a nice long lead and a connector that fits miniIpod or the biggies...

perfect

plus your ipod does the equalising... 12 band or so - by song, genre, albumn etc -- no need to **** about with the 'bass, treble' ***** anymore

If you have the 12 disc changer you need the GM-10 Aux. (it's called a PIE)

One of our supporting vendors can help you. Tuan Le is awsome !

There were extensive threads a while back on installing an iPOD. Here is one of Tuan's posts. (PS I LOVE MY iPOD in my car !!)

To get great audio quality from IPOD (or any other MP3 devices) into your stock Bose system, you would need to get 2 items. The cd-changer wiring harness and the GM10-AUX adapters. The cd-changer wiring harness plugs into the cd-changer port on the passenger side footwell, and the GM10-AUX adapter plugs into the cd-changer wiring harness and coverts it over to RCA input port. From there, you can practically hook up any devices with stereo output.

Kris, do you recall if this arrangement would then "disable" the use of the 12-disc changer?

I do not have the CD changer; just the head unit. Would I only need the one cable then? I know some of these questions may be simple but, I know NOTHING of electronics. :o

right you need both cables i would say since you dont have the cd stacker in the rear of the car

the cd-changer cable connects to the INPUT on the head unit

from there, you are just tricking it, by putting the gm-10-aux cable onto it, and then into the ipod2car....

You Wont look back .. i love having all the songs, without distortion...it rocks

If you have the 12 disc changer the PIE is the interface from the GM wiring harness to enable you to use RCA connections. There is no way to hook directly up to the head unit (if you have the stock BOSE system)

if you DONT have the 12 disc changer there is a different hook up procedure.

Email me and I'll see if I can help you out
