Thank you for choosing www.GmPartsDirect.com



Anyone know anything about this?

 

If its what I think it is you'll be my hero.

 

I am seeing the dealer tomorrow and was going to ask about it and possibly order it. I will let you know what I find out. My guess is that it is the cable for an auxillary auido port on the stereo for iPod connection. If I am right, that would be so sweet!

 

That's what it seems to be. Cheap too!

 

Yes, that's the first thing that entered my mind too, an aux port.

 

if it is an aux port where would it install? i dont like things hanging off my dash.

 

I ordered one yesterday, It will take 5 days to get it. I will post what it is when I get it

subscribing to this thread, lol. i want ipod connectivity!

 

def let us all know what you find out...although i do love my xm radio very much...

 

I talked to the parts guy. The description of the part was an aux audio cable that has (2) 3.4mm plugs for the Aux input on the CD player. He was thinking that if you had the SS MP3-stereo that it had the ports for the cord. I have that stereo so bought it anyways. It was only $15 and if it doesn't work, oh well.

I will let everyone know how it works when I get it in about 3 days. I am guessing that you will see cord running along your trim from the back of the center console, but you could hide it or run it through your console to the arm rest or something.

 

Definately post pics when you get it in.

 

unless they are doing it the bmw style and connecting it to the radio and then having it come out in the glove compartment, which wouldnt be too bad if you could change songs using the steering wheel just changing sources.

 

I can get you guys some more info on this, i work for a Cadillac Hummer Saab dealershipa nd I just got the memo on all the cars it works with. My dad works in service and called me yesertday im gonna pick it up for dealer price ($10.50) I have a transpod but the GM cable is gonna allow better sound quality.

 

This is the description the memo from GM gives:

"GM Accessories is pleased to annouce the Portable Audio Player Interface Cable for select GM vehicles.

***Hope that sums everything up and answers any shady details your parts guy gave you,lol.***

 

omg i just got my cobalt and i really need something like this. i hope it will work with the regular cd player stereo.

 

Where would you plug it into? Mine doesnt have an aux port. And I have the Pioneer 6.1!

 

Sweet! Thats one of the things I liked most when I checked out the TSX a couple months ago!

 

subscribing for details to come

 

I am assuming that there is a port on the back of the CD player in the dash. If this is actually for the 2007 models where they have the port on the front, then WTF?!

I am going to go with what Stealth06LT said about it being compatible with the 06 models:

I'll post pics once I get it and install it too!

 

its probably def going to come out the glove compartment... im going to p ick one up also and give it a shot.

 

wow if this works i will def look into it! i have my cd case in my car and its huge and ive only had the car for 2 days and its already annoying me to have to lug them around.

 

Any News Yet?

 

I dunno, but my dad works up in service and Im gonna have him pick one up for me in parts today. I'll install it and get some pics hopefully. I still have to find where the hell to plug it in though, that is still a mystery to me, unless there is some sort of connector hidden in the glovebox, because mine def doestn have one on the face of the radio.

 

Ipod specific adapters....

with XM: GMLN21600
without XM: GMLN2400


The part costs about 249 before discounts and install would run another 100.

It will let you controll the ipod via the head unit and steering wheel controls.

Just an fyi for the folks that want what I want.

 

will it work with the regular cd player? or does it have to be the mp3 cdplayer.
