New iPod Adapter for GM Factory Audio Systems

[Bill Kervaski]

Maybe I missed it but you can't do XM and the iCruze at the same time?

Do any of these devices beside the I-Cruz display actual data (title, artist, etc.)? If so, can they display it through the factory head unit, or do they require an outboard display like th I-cruz?

I dont believe there is any display it should look like the CD Changer display, Instead of discs you will have your pre-programed play lists.

If you mount the ipod adapter unit behind the glove compartment, can you get to it later without having to remove center console & dash again? (there are some DIP switches on the USA Spec unit that you might want to change later..)

(so I guess the real question is, can the interior of glove compartment be pulled out fairly easily?)

Very easily!

I can see that now.......DUH!! (glove compartment door drops right down after you dis-engage that "doo-hickey" on the right side.)

As respects the ipod unit, I've decided on the USA Spec unit after much, much consideration......the primary reason is because I want to have the full control of the IPOD unit so that I can pull down music "by artist" instead of playlists only.

The advertising for the USA Spec unit says that it will display text on the NAV unit if you run it through the XM channel..............HOWEVER, I have heard from an installer that it doesn't work.......ever!

No doubt, it would be way-cool if it worked. Anybody been able to get text up with this unit on their NAV w/XM????? (I have a 2006 H2 by the way)
