Need an Ipod Interface


Recommended Posts

Posted

Wife's ride, '05 Tahoe with In Dash CD Player. Has Onstar, No XM, Bose System, With Remote for rear. Also the radio does that thing where the name of the song and radio station displays on the radio. I'd like to add an interface for her Ipod. Does anyone have experience with these? Is it plug and play? Any infomration helpful... Thanks.

This is a link to an old thread in which I described the product I'm using. It'll work the same for your system. I like it, but if you search this forum, you'll find others who have some complaints about it.

 

Let me know if this helps or not...

 

 

p.s. you should be able to find these things on ebay "on the cheap"

i.e., don't pay $150 like I did 15 months ago.

You may like the USA Spec PA11-GM. I just got one from JP customs, it works great in my 06 Sierra Z71 and I have XM,OnStar,TNR Nav and RSE .It works so good I am going to put one in my 03 yukon with the same equipment. You can use the interface two ways direct or connect it to the XM tuner and info shows up on radio. I have 4380 songs on my Ipod so I use mine in the Direct mode, it is easier to navigate through the playlists on the ipod than through the steering wheel controls but the nice thing also is you can always switch it back if you want.

    • 2026 3500HD.  Mostly empty. Grocery getter. What tire pressure are you running for 37x12.50x20. I have 37x12.50R20 Toyo Open  Country RT pro and been running around 55 lbs front and rear and it's too much. Tires are wearing more in the middle. Toyo says 45 front and 50 rear. Chalk test and it's still too much. I lowered it to 40 front 44 rear see what happens. 
    • Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks. 
    • With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece. 
    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
