Is there any way to hook up an ipod to the factory Bose stereo without using one of those radio transmitters?
Hook up Ipod to factory stereo?

Ben, does it allow factory controls to control the ipod?
Does the factory radio show song titles or tracks or anything?
Same here. It does not display the song titles or anything, but you can change songs etc with your steering wheel or head unit controls. One of the best $100 Ive spent.
Yes it does. Maybe you have an older version? Or you have it configured incorrectly

displays title/artist on the nav screen. Lets you select playlists, charges ipod, has additional aux input (I use it for my DVD player), full control with steering wheel controls and nav unit/stock radio controls, lets you keep factory XM, etc...

The usa spec is the best choice there is.
Duratothemax your shows it because you have factory navigation and/or XM.
Look on USA Spec's website and look up the manual for the unit for your truck. Or just give them a call. MOst vehicle with either factory XM of nav. hhave the capability to show text.
Its a great unit one of the best upgrades for my truck IMO.

Yes, as long as you dont have the "work truck" radio.
Basically, if you have an 03+ truck that has a CD player and a "BAND" button on the radio, it will work.
USA-Spec came out with a new one, the PA15-GM. It has even more cool features than the PA11-GM. It allows you to search for a specific song by title artist and genre ALL from the radio controls!!! The old PA11 didnt let you search for specific songs on the ipod via radio controls; you could only search for playlists.
Yes, they work with the iphone

I went to USA-Spec and they recommend the PA15-GM for my truck. I have a factory Bose single disc headunit with no XM. I also have a SIR-GM1 that I bought used. Will all of this work together? Thanks.

it will attach to the USA Spec and be available at the XM2 position when pressing the "Band" button on the radio.
I just got the PA15-GM and it works great with all my iPods and iPhones. Pandora in my truck... don't need XM or Sirrius.
I just let mine lay in the glove box. Then routed the ipod side of the cable out to where i wanted it.
Anyone have any pics? I have some ideas of where I would mount it when I get one, but would like to see what others have done. Thanks.
