    Then i took my current car cellphone charger and snapped the cigarette lighter male portion of it open. i noticed there was a spring which went to the button on the tip (power) and then the side prongs are ground. I snipped the spring and button off, the soldered the a stranded wire to that point on the circuit board. Then i cut off the side wing-prong things and soldered a ground wire to it. Then i used wire taps to tap into the OEM cellphone harness located under the cupholders in the center console. Much better than using the cigarette lighter and is clean.



    yes.. thats what i was trying to explain above. :thumbsup2:

      works beautifully, just did it a second time, tapping into the radio harness and running an ipod cord into the sunglasses tray through the hole, next to my aux cord, and now the ipod sits nicely in the tray

          i didnt like that it doesnt display the song, so i figured is it work the hundreds of $$ more than an AUX cord DIY for $6 and having the buttons 6 inches below the radio.
