JF-03-SS Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) First I would like to shout out and say "Thank You" to Chris, a.k.a. fast4popper. Chris hooked me up with a Peripheral ipod2car interface so I could run a ipod through my factory Bose stereo. He sent it to me ready to install and also helped me with the install over the phone. I did the install on a Bose single cd stereo with XM. Here is what the interface looks like and pics from the install. Hook up of these 2 interface pieces is simple, just two wire to hook up. One power wire and one ground wire, the rest is just plug and play Radio is held in by three 7mm socket head screws Removing radio taking some wiggling to pull the wiring harnesses up and out enough. Unplug only this harness from back of radio. Plug in PXHGM3C where factory harness was removed and replug factory harness into piece my hand is on. Black is ground and goes to Black wire w/ white stripe and yellow power wire will go to large Orange wire Yellow wire goes to this large orange wire (be careful there is also a small orange wire) Black (ground wire) goes to Black w/ white stripe wire on left corner of harness. White clip hooks to PXDP Now test ipod to make sure everything is working. These three pieces pop out so you can see to fish adaptor through dash. My ipod is mount on a VSM w/ ipod holder. Now you can enjoy listening to your ipod while you drive. The mount that I have the ipod on is two different pieces. Here is the link for those that are interested in this option. First link is for the VSM http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/mount.htm (PN# CV-71-99 - $36.95) and the second is the minigrip ipod hold http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/migrip/. (PN# MI-200 $24.95) If you have a bigger ipod, use the migrip. Edited December 27, 2008 by Stitches040 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I have a quick question...with this can you change tracks, etc with the normal stereo controls or steering controls or does this just allow you to use the ipod and play through the stereo? This is my first time actually seeing something like this is available after market for our trucks so I apologize if its been brought up before. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF-03-SS Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) Thanks Chris, turned out awesome I have a quick question...with this can you change tracks, etc with the normal stereo controls or steering controls or does this just allow you to use the ipod and play through the stereo? This is my first time actually seeing something like this is available after market for our trucks so I apologize if its been brought up before. Thanks That is why I did this. Everyone is always asking questions but no real answers. You can adj. volume and change tracks with the steering wheel controls. It DOES NOT display the track title on the stereo.

I didn't think it would effect the display but I hate having to mess with the ipod itself period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
