I just purchased a iPod nano and I plan to play it from my CTS. Does anyone have any recomendations on the best adapter to buy.

Thanks!

I am buying one from www.lockpicksolutions.com which is an advertiser on this site. He claims it's a standard XM radio splice type install which you can control the Ipod from steering wheel and see song information on DIC. As soon as I get my new rotors, Ipod integration is next!

xocomaox, have you or has anyone else actually bought anything from "www.lockpicksolutions.com"? It looks a bit suspect to me.

I have just aquired an 06 CTS with the Nav unit. I am looking to install an IPOD interface and am looking at the USA SPEC PA11-VETTE. This ties into the XM unit for apparent, seemless, integration. It seems to run anywhere from $160 on Ebay to $200 from crutchfield.

"www.lockpicksolutions.com"? made the clear fog lightsand sidemarkers and did an excellent job. I'm waiting for the results for the iPod interface

I have the USA SPEC ipod adapter. Everything plays clear, sounds good, and artist and song displays on the screen. I access all the songs as a playlist but can't scroll thru them to choose what I want or put it on shuffle or anything. Unless someone else knows how to do it? Other than that I'm happy with it..love having my ipod usable in the car.

If you do a search on this site, you will notice that there are a few options out there. I, of course, would want the one with the best options for adding the functions in with your factory radio. Also you want something with an install that is easy..... There are pros and cons to any one that you choose so....

YourGMSolutions is a member of this forum as an authorized dealer (he owns www.lockpicksolutions.com) and seems quite reputable. I will have no hesitation buying from his site.

I've just bought my clear fogs from www.lockpicksolutions.com. I noticed that he sales the iPod lockpick but he doesn't state, what brand and there isn't a picture.

He has created a thread in the V forum about this Ipod device and also a Bluetooth device. Check his created threads.
