No they aren't. I'm not even sure that the Uconnect systems support streaming stereo audio.

I also went to Radio Shack and got a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo male to stereo male cable and it works like a champ. Not a problem with the wire but if I can do it wireless, I might as well give it a try. Thanks again for the recommendation on the patch cable.

If you want to go wireless, you can use one of those RF transmitters for like the ipod where you listen on a radio station. The quality sucks, and be ready for lots of interference, but it's wireless.

I should have been more clear when I offered the bluetooth idea. Your truck wont have support for it, but I was talking about something like this.

There are other versions of it out there and you can probably find them cheaper. I use the exact same one in my truck to stream music from my iPod touch while it sits in the center console. Much better than the device taking up a storage spot out in the open.
