I have harness that connected to the CD player in hatch, that runs into the console. If you interested in the harness, drop me a PM.

Check out the thread started by Toque here This was a very easy mod. I don't have a CD changer so I bought a PXDP with the PXHGM4 cable. I bought it off Ebay but one of the vendors sells it here on the forum for a great price. Good luck!

If you have a cd changer its about m 5 minutes tops
unplug changer and plug in next pxdp/pxhgm2 harness combo
run wire to center console area and your done

If you do not have a cd changed dont worry
this next option if for you

remove radio bezel
remove radio
plug in new pxdp/pxhgm4 harness combo
reinstall radio
reinstall bezel

I did the first kit he mentioned. At the time Bestbuy carried the kit and it was $99. It had all cables needed. 10 minutes later I had my iPod plugged in and working great.

My car is a 99 with (used to have) the CD changer and a OEM tape deck head unit..

I have a C5 Z06 which did not have the CD Changer option. I have a single CD player. Is there a port in the back of my head unit for this Ipod plug?

Yes. Double D Mods is the vendor to go with. That is a great price!

Yes, it plugs into the back of your radio. In c5 BearsFan post look at option 2. Very easy and works great.

I had this installed on my coupe before I totaled it out. The "output" of the line out was too high, and serious clipping was noticed on every track. I had to drop the level of my entire library of music about 10db to remove the distortion.

I also noticed a clicking noise coming from the right side speakers.

I'm unsure if my pxpd was a "lemon" unit, or if that's how they all are.

I really miss the functionality though, and will probably install this again in my Z06.

Did anyone else have sound quality issues with this unit?

Anyone come across a good mount that can be used for both an iPod or iPhone? Don't want the one that goes in the cup holder. Would like something up by the dash so that I could use the iPhone map program for directions if need be.

Yup, completely plug-n-play! Just spend a little time getting the wires where you want them and you'll be all set. You don't have to splice, cut, or otherwise butcher anything at all... completely reversible and easy to do.

I have a Z06 too; this took me all of 20 minutes and I ran my ipod line up to my center console in the process.

RedlineGoods a forum vendor. Great to deal with.

C5 97-04 traction control strip --> $19.'s I got mine for less due to a package deal they had. Shift boot, e-brake, traction control trim, door and grab bar wraps. Very well made.

I must have had a lemon then. I was very disappointed in the sound quality. I must have gotten a bad unit. I got ripped off on it by CrutchField anyway. =P
