you can buy one that works off of a radio frequency, like a satalite radio, but i've heard its a POS. you MIGHT be able to have an ipod / auxiliary jack wire hardwired into your stock radio. i've seen it done on a couple of classic cars, but IDK if its possible with a newer raido?

I have the USA SPEC PA11-GM. Could never get the thing to work through the XM so I have it play like a CD changer - no track names or titles, just track numbers - but 100 Xs better than the FM modulator. I'm looking into getting another wiring harness sold by this company that will hopefully let me hook up to XM:

You say I don't have clean fingers LOL (someone else has been pushing Silver's buttons until I bought him heeheehee)!!!! I did a lot of research and (I think there are 3 dif kinds of interfaces for our cars) and none of them are perfect. I still would ultimately want to be able to see the track names in the display.

I've read on some that you have to push the info button on your radio for every song to see the first 8 letters of a song title??

IDK, The USA SPEC PA-11 is supposed to work automatically - but again, I think the Monte electrical is a bit touchy.
