Need Some Help With Pal (192010054) The Ipod Cable

[gdpgmc]

I just got back from dealer wanting to order the PAL cable. He said by the last 8 digits of my VIN # that it wouldn't work. He said I needed XM!? I know some people here have used it. If you have can you tell me what type of radio you have? I have the single disc CD player.

 

Thanks.

I have a periphial and it works great with the single cd radio. I also have xm in it too.

you just want the cable to listen to your ipod over the radio right?

its just a cord with to male head phone jacks on both sides

 

i think your radio has the build aux jack right

al it is plug and play

I know about the headphone cable that plugs into the audio input of the radio. I have it. I want to be able to use the truck radio controls to manipulate the ipod and hopefully have better sound quality.

My truck does not have XM and the parts guy said it would work on mine, perhaps mine is XM ready and your is not.

My '04 Silverado isn't compatible due to the fact that it doesn't have the "aux" or "XM" port available. If the truck has "XM" it has the capability from the factory. I use a "FM modulator" for my I-Pod and it works great. Plugs into the lighter plug and plays through the radio. Good luck!

I had the PAL installed on my '08 and it works fine for me. I think you have to have XM, because it plugs inline with the XM somehow. You have to press the "Band" button to cycle through the inputs:FM, AM, XM, FM, AM, IPOD... Every other time you get to XM it displays the IPOD as the input.

 

I think the radio code is something like RU8. Sorry, if that's wrong, it was from memory. Mine is the one with the 6 CD in-dash changer.

 

Hope that helps.
