Questions on stock deck light replacement and also ipod integration

**Liquifire** · 08-05-2010

1. This question is for an 04 Impala SS.... Is it possible to replace the internal lights on the stock deck? I have an area that the light went out on and want to replace it. Anyone have any suggestions or know of a bulb number for them or if this is even possible. I know you can do it on our radio's for the GP's but I need to get the wifes car back in good shape.

2. Also on this car (04 Impala SS) I wanted to get an ipod input into the stock deck that powers the ipod, displays the music on the stock deck and also you can control from the radio/steering wheel controls. This is what I have found:2004/04 CHEVY IMPALA DIRECT iPOD/iPHONE/NANO INPUT +AUX: eBay Motors (item 380151367540 end time Aug-16-10 11:04:40 PDT)
Does anyone have any suggestions about this if it is good or bad. Or does anyone have any other suggestions about what to get other than this? I just want a quality piece of equipment and is plug and play with several other flexibility inputs on it.............. Thanks for any feedback.

I don't think it matters but I have the single in dash CD player with the "premium" (rear amp under trunk deck lid) stereo- NOT BOSE OR MONSOON

i have both on my radio (pioneer DEH6000UB) its got usb and auxillary in so i have the headphone plug and the ipod sync cable.

im assuming you mean the headphone cable. my only dislike is that i cant controll it trhough my radio and remote like i can with it plugged onto the sync cable. personnaly id say go for it i dont have much against them

if you want to stay compleatly gm, there is the PAL(personal audio link)
I have seen them in other gm applications and they work pretty good.
you get song title and playlist title on sreen. only able to seek thru song list one at a time, same with playlists. uses the xm2 band on stock radio. but you do have direct control opptions. also has a aux input. Dealer install is retarted, but there are custome harnesses avalible also.

hope this helps.
