GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Hi Everyone,I've been pulling hair trying to figure out the best way to use an iPod with custom controls, etc AND be able to use a regular auxiliary input. Didn't want to leave a hole in my double din dash with an after market single din, and I haven't been impressed with any of the double dins (especially the poor interfaces).A second concern was theft in downtown Atlanta, so I think modifying the factory HU is the best approach.All that said, I found this wonder, the PIE GM12-POD/S iPod and Auxilary Input Adapter. It claims it can display all your iPod info on your factory HU and be able to go scroll through things like playlist, artist, genre, etc. Granted, you have to memorize some somewhat tricky button moves, but overall it's the best thing I've seen. In addition, you can switch control back to the iPod (scroll wheel etc) or switch to any other aux device (friends mp3 who don't do iPod).http://www.discountcarstereo.c...=1092The problem is, it doesn't say it works on the Pontiac Vibe on this website. However, on this site it does:http://www.autotoys.com/x/prod...10214On the manufacturer's site it doesn't specifically specify.I have a "(B2) 2004 single CD (w/ BAND button and CD/AUX button) and Moon & Tunes" so I know the PIE GM12-AUX should work.I guess what I'm asking is does anyone have experience with this adapter, or know more about what makes these things compatible with GM head units?? (Class II, no LAN, etc...)Thanks!

On second thought, would this be more appropriate a topic under the stickied aux input thread?

I don't care where this topic belongs...but welcome! Sorry I don't have much info for you.

Hi there - did you end up getting this product? I'm looking to accomplish the same thing and found the GM12-POD/S iPod setup on other sites but was looking to see if anyone had any luck with it. Let me know if you don't mind!

You can try this onehttp://www.icarkits.com/produc...id=40Or you can do it this way,http://cgi.ebay.ca/Peripheral-...wItema ... l-...wItem

I have used PIE interfaces in the past and have nothing but praise for them. High quality, excellent sound quality. Definitely my first choice in aftermarket interfaces.

I just ordered the Peripheral Electronics PXAMG http://www.peripheralelectroni...x.asp. It looks like it does the same thing as the PIE GM12-POD/S. I had the old version of this device (IPOD2CAR) in my old Vibe and was satisfied with it. This new model displays track information on the stereo screen, and there is an optional HD radio add-on (which I also purchased). I'll let you know what I think after I install it.
