Ipod adaptor
Can anybody comment on the tool that plugs into the aux on a stock vette? I live in Phx and the FM transmitters do not work here because of all the damn spanish channels!!!
Any comments on these? I want to keep my stock radio but do not want to spend a fortune. These range from 100-200 most places and seem like a good idea in concept. Just wondering if anybody has done this?

there is a good "Ipod to car" converter. It comes with most needed cables. I had the cd changer already in the rear so I unhooked the cd chgr and connected the I2c converter. works and sounds a gozillion times betta than my old FM transmitter. I download sports podcasts and they sound great.
$100 at best buy.

I got the Pac Audio 'isimple' from Best Buy but because I don't have the factory CD changer I had to get yet another harness to make it work. I does work great now though. Awsome mod, no more CD's sliding around the car.

To plug a device into the AUX input you need 2 things: A 12 disk changer cable, and GMAUX-10. If you have a 12 disk changer, you're 1/2 way there. If not, you need the COR-HAR (GM does not sell the cable on it own, so you have to go aftermarket...). The COR-HAR plugs in under the passenger side footboard. The GMAUX-10 plugs into the COR-HAR and an RCA stereo jack plugs into the GMAUX.
This setup allows your MP3 player to be a hardwired, aux device - selectable with the AUX button. This will work with any device that has a stereo out. Now if you want to talk iPod specific applications, if you want to do it, do it right:
The covers close and hide everything nicely...

I just installed the Best Buy one and it rocks. It was easy (a caveman could do it) and sounds great without any holes in my dash. The best part is i do not have to listen to all the crap on the mexico stations here!
I also have an XM adaptor that i can switch if i decide to. I found if i want both, i have to tie it into the antenna and use a transmitter that overtakes the broadcast channel.
