Default Picking Up 2004 SS in 45 minutes

Pretty excited. Low Miles. Sweet Ride. Im not a total car buff. Was just looking for a daily driver after totaling my Trailblazer and saw this SS listed on craigslist.

Look forward to learning more about this Monte Carlo.

awesome. just took it for a nice drive, car rules. 2 people said nice car at the gas station. weird for me.

my first order of business is to integrate ipod. in my trailblazer, i had the peripheral isimple (http://isimplesolutions.com/ipod-adapter/default.asp)... i like this set up. easy to use, easy to install. crutchfield has this adapter for 149.99.

im open to recommedations on intergrating ipod. it has steering wheel controls and onstar (onstar i will never use, and i really dont know what it does)

Congrats! MCs ALWAYS get "nice car" comments.
For the Onstar to work, you have to pay a yearly fee. Not sure what year they switched from analog to digital but mine wouldn't work now unlesa I upgraded my system since it's analog.

We need pics ASAP!!!

I have US Spec PA-11 but I am having issues getting to work with the satellite radio. Right now I have it hooked up like a CD changer. 4 preset play lists plus direct play and the steering wheels control the ipod. The only down side is I can't see the track names in the radio display. I am looking into getting another wiring harness.
