I have a 2006 G6 v6 which has the single cd head unit in it. I purchased a while back on ebay a Belkin Tunecast3 but it is really annoying when driving into different towns to find a station to play my Zune tunes without static :/ I was wondering if theres a way to simply add a Aux port somehow to the stock head so i can easily plug any mp3 playing device in there...

I don't have the monsoon system so I don't have the built in one.. if there was no easy way of going about this, would it be better to change out my stock ish for a monsoon system as if i bought it with that or should i just go aftermarket and get totally different equipment?

thanks

What jack

I have an 07 Convertible with the Monsoon. I wish there was a jack. Is this the only 07 built with a premium sound system that doesn't have one. I should have asked!

I have a 2007 with the Monsoon and had iPod integration by AXXESS installed and it works great. I can connect an iPod or I can use the AUX and plug in any MP3 player. It's about $300 installed.

Was that $300 4 the installation 2? And where did u get it installed?

 

[stealth_sergeant]

That was for both parts and labor...I had it done at a local car audio store. They didn't even carry anything for the G6 until I called them and told them about the AXXESS unit. They had the unit and required accessories in stock in a couple of weeks.

 

[G6/CHRIS]

Oh ok cool. How did they install it? Did they put it in the center console? And i looked 4 it on ebay but didnt really know what i was lookin 4, so is there a special cite that u found it on?

 

[msmith0957]

picture of the finished product would be nice

i'm stil undecided as to whether i should get a similar kit with the stock (non monsoon) system, get an aftermarket radio w/ metra kit, or just get aftermarket radio and say goodbye to the gmlan bs

 

[G6/CHRIS]

Oh and whats this monsoon system? Does it come stock in all g6s? Thanks...

 

[stealth_sergeant]

The Monsoon system is the upgrade audio system and if I'm not mistaken is standard on GT and GTP models. The reason it's such a pain to find integration for the Monsoon is that the driver's information center (yes I said DIC) is integrated into the head unit and it's all that inbred technical fm (friggin magic). The AXXESS unit is mounted behind the dash near the head unit and the cord can be run to several locations like the glove box or the center console (mine comes out of the storage pod in front of the shifter). If you talk to a reputable shop they should either have it in stock or be able to get it easily.

someone on G6performance modded his stock radio to add an aux input -

[stephcorleone]

so with using axxess, are you able to control the ipod through the radio? do title names/artists show on the radio?
I have the monsoon.

There's also the iSimple kit for this, which I what I bought. It lets you connect (and control using the stereo and steering wheel) an iPod. It also has AUX input and supports an HD Radio receiver, too.

So will this radio on ebay with the aux input just plug and play? I am sure the dealer will have to program it but can I control the ipod from the steering wheel controls?

You can not control your iPod from the steering controls by using the Aux.

Wish you could. That would be sweet.

Aux Input Jack Install

I installed an aux input into my G6.

I got this kit too and it's AWESOME!! All controlled from factory buttons on the stereo and steering wheel. It was a simple install, but not easy. There is A LOT to remove to get to the stereo, but well worth it.

 

[kerbsdt]

The isimple is a great solution. The cheapest i could find it was $110 but it was every bit worth it.

It works great and its actually pretty easy to install yourself. you can add bluetooth or hd radio. but you can control your ipod and it has rca jacks along with a 3.5mm input jack. It's a great product.
