I have a 2004 Silverado HD with Bose, XM, and Onstar. I just got an Ipod and the fm transmitter works ok but frustrates me.

 

All I want is a cable coming out of the dash somewhere to plug into my ipod. Not concerned that much with charging it, just instead of headphones I plug it into my radio. My friends 07 has one of these plugs built in, but surely I can wire one to the back of the radio and bring it out somewhere that doesn't look too ghetto.

 

Thanks

Get the Peripheral iSimple. I have it, and it works great. Comes with a mount too.

 

Do a search, you'll find some threads on it.

 

 

Def that is what I have too!!!! the best for the $$$$$$

I have that one too and love it. No mount though, I keep my iPOD stashed in the dash. Having access to over 3500 songs is real nice.

 

PXAMG (with harness) is what I have.

another vote for the iSimple. Mine's a GMT-900. I used to use an Fm transmitter in my TJ. going from FM to direct connect is like night and day.

Even going from my truck with the iSimple to my mom's car that has the tape deck adapter is a huge difference. There's just no beating it for the price IMO.

Are you guys talking about the isimple that is $150 from best buy?

 

Is there anything or any way I could just plug in a miniRCA to RCA plug? I would control everything over the ipod itself, and not need to worry about charging it.

 

$150 seems like a lot more than I want to spend for the minimal hookup I want/need.

 

But thanks!

Yeah that's the one, bro it's nice. The sound is good and the interface has plugs so you can connect another audio acessory also. So you can actually have the iPOD and another source.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      First of all sorry, I know there are a ton of transmission temperature threads...   My truck is a 2025 LZ0 High (10l89 10-speed) High Country with NHT max trailering package. The NHT package is supposed to have "enhanced cooling."   Normally the trans temp sits around 200. It seems like with any real stress it quickly jumps into the 220s (for example climbing a grade unloaded at lower speeds). I haven't towed much with this truck, but I'm concerned if it gets this hot unloaded.    I've tried a few different things to keep the temps down (tow/haul mode, sport mode, low range when that makes sense) and nothing seems to affect it.    I'm curious if others are the same behavior or if anyone has found techniques to keep the temps down. It seems like it just can't handle reduced airflow at lower speeds, even with relatively light loading.    Thanks!

      I'm at 105,000 miles on my baby Duramax. No issues yet. I hit 31 mpg's traveling through hilly terrain to a project in Colorado. I will buy another 3.0. I'm not concerned.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By cautious optimist · Posted

      I'm glad you have 14,000 trouble free miles. Frankly though, that's a really low bar. A bare minimum of 80,000 trouble free miles as the norm (rare exceptions always exist) across the whole model year should be a starting point. Good maintenance habits should push these past the 100,000 mile mark with only the most minor of issues. Let's hope GM truly leveled up the quality game with these new engines and exploding engines under 50,000 miles are gone.

      This is exactly the reason our EV has consumed so much of my driving. I don't want to fire up a cold diesel or gas engine just to drive 2 miles up to the store. It's arguably terrible for an engine. If I'm not driving at least 10 miles and don't need to do truck things, the truck stays parked.   Enter the EV. It's immediately heating or cooling the cabin as needed (heat pump). An engine doesn't need to warm up or be driven gently. I can tear off in it with ZERO guilt. Move the car 1/4 mile from store to store and not think "gee, I'm short-cycling a lukewarm engine".   It doesn't idle in a drive-through. Doesn't idle at stop lights. (OK, neither would the diesel, if I let stop-start have its way, but I don't).   Even moving it out of the garage to wash it... HA! It doesn't need to be started just to move 40 feet. I have cars that I will actually put in neutral and push (no start) in/out of the garage or shop if they absolutely HAVE to be moved. My nice Camaros.
