Do you have the ipod interface cable, in the glove compartment?

Not to sound stupid, but maybe in the packet that the dealership stuffed all your paperwork into?? Thats where mine was.

I'll go check again but I didn't see anything.

I have cable for my Ipod, what does it plug into in the truck? The usb port or the AUX spot?

There is a specific cable for the interface in to your radio. Not the aux plug. If you don't have one, maybe it didn't come with yours (mine wont have one either)

Here's what you need:

You can get one at the parts dept. of your stealership.

So where does it plug into your radio? I have an FM Transmitter, is it pretty much the same thing?

What I'm trying to get is to work everything through the screen on my radio, is that possible?

No its not, its much better than an FM transmitter. I think it plugs in to the rear of the radio and comes out in your upper glove box. The way I read it, you should be able to work the ipod through your steering wheel controls and maybe through voice commands through uconnect. I dont get my truck until next wednesday, and this is the first thing I'm getting before I even drive off the lot.

Well I just ordered the lockpick for it and it comes in Tuesday. From what I read you can hook up your ipod with that. I'll see Tuesday when it comes in. Thanks for your help.
