I have a 60GB ipod that I want to integrate with a vehicle that doesn't come with the accessory / bluetooth option to show any information on-screen, nor does it offer onboard remote control of the iPod. Whatever I choose, I do not want it to interrupt any current options, I prefer a DIRECT audio connection and nothing via radio / FM signals, and if at all possible, I'd like my steering wheel controls to influence song / album selection. I figure that since this is a popular vehicle, there must be a number of choices available for iPod integration.
2005 Escalade w/navigation + XM satellite radio Steering wheel (options that could pertain to ipod use): - prog = on radio: jumps from preset to preset; on cd: jumps from disc to disc - source +/- = up / down buttons that cycle through radio / xm / cd sections Anyone have ideas on how to integrate an ipod here? Suggestions? Links? Possible to output ipod screen to navigation screen (re-program my head unit)? I'm wondering if the iPod should just be cradled in a hiding spot and used direct, just wired to charge and output direct audio. I appreciate any and all tips. Not sure if this the appropriate forum thread for this, as each post certainly has some crossover propensity. Thanks. |

find some escalade forums. they should have some real world examples of what you can do.
if you're not willing to use something other than the stock head unit, you'll definately want to check escalade forums. a lot of stuff that works with one manf.'s head unit won't work with another. Google is your frenemy. Caveat Emptor - Latin for tough titty I tend to interpret things in the way that's most hilarious to me |
