Ipod Dock

briddle3 · July 6, 2010

I have a 2006 2500hd with the bose sound package but i was wondering what options i would have to get some sort of Ipod hookup.

took mine to a sound shop, since best buy didnt have anything for the bose system, and it was a plug in kit that replaces one of the xm inputs. so now my xm1 is my ipod and i still have xm2. plugs right into the back of the head unit.

Best Buy sells them for your year model now. Its like 180-200 bucks for the unit including installation.

i bought a unit made by peripheral electronics @ best buy for $100. install was easy, but you need to install a switch to keep XM working. I'm not sure how its possible to separate XM1 from XM2, as their primary function is to give you extra presets; the truck has only one XM tuner (2005).

The unit is the ISGM73 I believe and its connected to a 6-dish in-dash changer w/ bose; you will have to install a relay and switch to keep your XM tuner working, and MAKE SURE you take the ground to the XM tuner or you will have an audible ground loop listening to XM.

I placed mine behind the radio and zip-tied it to a support bracket. I installed my switch inside the pocket between the 12v power sources in the console.

Takes less than an hour to install.

i went to best buy and they dont sell anything that will work with the bose sound package... i emailed my local car audio shop and im waiting on an email back from them... maybe if they have something it will give me that extra incentive to have them put that eyebrow tint on too while they are at it

ipod adapter - Best Buy

this is similar to what i have; same company and pieces look the same, but different part number. Mine works w/ Bose; checked the reviews of this product on BB website and customers reported using it w/ bose.

There are some models available that require no extra work to keep the XM tuner, and even display song title/artist information on your factory stereo. I believe the cheapest I saw w/ those features was $250.

I have the PAC / iSimple PXAMG with the PGHGM5 harness.....works flalessly through the factory nav w/Bose simple plug n play.

I have not seen an interface that is specific to the Bose system, they all should work.

I went to my local best buy and looked at this today. the installer guy said he was sure it would work with bose but it didnt say on the box is it would charge the iphone 3gs. it said it would charge the 3g but he didnt know for sure if it would charge the 3gs. which phone are you using it on?
