I desperately need a better Ipod option! suggestions?

Remove this ad
whats up everyone? Today I bought an itrip made by griffin and suprisingly it is much better than I expected, however..having to unplug it from the cig lighter every time I turn off the car is going to be a major pita! ( thats one of my grips with my cts, all cig adapter's are always on!)

I desperately need to find a better way to integrate my ipod into the factory radio. I have an 05 CTS 3.6l with the non nav single cd radio. I do have on-star with the mounted antenna and recieve the rds from radio stations. I visited a local custom(stereo store) today and he said with my model car/stereo I only had 2 options...both involving controlling my ipod with my hand. And both through the fm! one wireless and one attached to the antenna input on my radio.

There has got to be a better way, got to be! Please anyone with idea's chime me in. I have searched and read almost every post on here dealing with ipod integration...everything seems to be dealing with the nav radio or one with included xm. the dealership where I bought the car from last week said my radio is xm compatible, but didn't have the xm adapter if that helps.

The fuses have two different positions for the cigarette lighter... On for ten miinutes after ignition off, or always HOT. Look under your hood at THAT fuse panel. Switch the position of the fuse from where it's at now and your lighter will shut off after 10 minutes.

Re: I desperately need a better Ipod option! suggestions?

I bought an Ipod Lockpick from lockpicksolutions but have been given the runaround about them sending one made for an Escalade and not a CTS. Been thinking about modding the one they sent me to see if I can get it to work with the CTS cable.

Re: I desperately need a better Ipod option! suggestions?

what exactly does the lockpick do?


about the power outlets, when I move the fuses over it doesn't allow ANY power to the two outlets....am I doing something wrong?

I think the lockpick only works when hooked to an XM radio.
