Thread: Ipod Cable Solution for 2008 GXP

I just bought a 2008 GXP and was surprised to learn that it didn't come with an Auxiliary port. I thought I was stuck with using an FM transmitter, since I didn't want to mess around with an aftermarket radio and risk losing the HUD, DIC displays, etc. But I found this guy in Washington state who makes cable assemblies for this exact application. My radio is a 6 CD changer, with Monsoon, XM and no NAV.
The guy's name is Ray Kawal and his website is http://www.kawal.net/vettemods.htm. I bought the Aux-1 harness and it literally took me 10 minutes to install. No cutting or splicing, just plug and play. I haven't spent the time to route the cable properly and that will most likely be the most challenging part of the install. It's a great solution, Ray is really responsive and helpful and the cable only costs $40.

I went with the Aux-1 harness. Really happy with it. I don't recall seeing a reference to it in this forum so hopefully it could be a nice solution to anyone here with Monsoon radios and no ipod port.

My '08 didn't have a HUD so I just went with a new head unit. I lost the clock and date from the DIC but the new stereo has a clock. Everything else on the DIC is working. Although my front & back tire pressures are switched, but I don't know if they were that way before the new stereo.
New head units with USB are cheap these days. I got a DUAL head unit with 18 watts x 4 and replaced the rear 6x9's with Kicker 693's. Sounds almost as good as a home theater.

They have an interface that can allow u to keep all of those functions and steering wheel control s
