I went to install it and realized that it does not connect to the 9 pin adapter in the glove box. Got back on the web and found the adapter i need. Its the USASpec CAS-GCAD7i Special Adapter Cable for Select 2001-05 Cadillac. Whch can be found here http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=853

And i got it all hooked up. Drilled a small hole in the glove box and passes the ipod connector trough there. And i can control the songs from the steering wheel. The sound quality is amazing, with the bose headunit. No need to ever upgrade stereo.

This is the type of hook up im looking for. imma search for these parts and keep my fingers crossed when installing. thanks for the heads up!

Changer can be reinstalled easily if you sell the car.

bestbuy really? do you know the part they used and how much did they charge you?

Hey can you tack a pic of ur hu and post it. they r sayin bose hu are unable to be set up cause the hu only has a source button and it needs to have a seperat cd, tape, am/fm button for these adapters to work. but if you have a source button like mine and ur setup works then i dont know what they r talking about. thanks

Which adapter did you get? Do you have the standard cd/cassette (non-Bose)? Did you have to order more than one adapter/harness?

Following this very closely. I'm getting a Touch tonight and would love to be able to integrate it rather than just run the audio out to my cassette adapter.

they sent me a AAI-GM9 which is a 9 pin connector which doesnt work with my 2002 deville cause the connector on the radio is 32 pin. so much drama! so i called the company that makes them and verified that i was sold the wrong unit and to think about going with fmm-100 which goes inline with the antenna also possibly it will need 40-gm10 and or 40-gm21 antenna adapters.

there is also another unit that might work so you can use all the controls (steering whl) its ipac-oem and ab-gm10 but they were'nt sure cause my h/u has a source button and not a actual cd and or tape button. hope this helps.

Thanks. Mine has the source buttons. I read about that on the site you linked to. The method you just described is sort of an fm transmitter type except it's tied directly into the antenna. That won't give you control of the Ipod from the steering wheel, will it?

Take it to a reputable Audio shop that knows Cadillacs, they will tell you if it can be hooked up or not. I'm thinking it can but I'm also guessing my system is a Bose with the CD changer in the glove. They swapped out the changer for an Ipod hookup.

Bestbuy sells a kit made by peripheral that plugs into the cd changer port and lets the ipod plug in and be controlled by the steering wheel controls. It is like 118 dollars.

I found that 2002 devilles wont except an aftermarket ipod adapter asfar as inline with the cd/radio harness because thats the first year i believe they came out with onstar and so the connectors are diff. on my bose cd/tape h/u is a 32 pin connector and the adapters out there are like 9 pin. i found these units and they it works great. you control using ipod not factory buttons. it hooks upto the factory antenna.
RCA-IPD
FMM_100
40-gm-10
40-gm-21

You plug the adapter into the harness that plugs into the changer, not where the harness plugs into the radio. Onstar has been in Cadillacs since the late 90s.

If you don't have a changer, the harness is in the location where the changer goes, you just need to find it.

Does anyone have an links or info on the FM transmitter model to connect the IPOD.. I have a 2001 DHS with Navi and do not want to lose my CD Changer.. As you know there is no tape deck in this car.. So the FM transmitter would be the only solution.

Thanks for any help.. I am also looking into adding Sirius and that will have to be done the same way.
