Phone Cables/AUX Cables
Anyone have a problem with the center console snapping their phone charger cable/AUX cable in half. I have been through 4 AUX cables . Problem is the center console closes on the AUX cable and I don't want to leave it open. Same with the phone charger.
What are your guys solution? Any clever/neat way to run the cables from somewhere else? Any tips or suggestions?

I bought my car used and that cable is there. When I hook up my 4G iPod it locks it up (can't select music from the iPod) and I have NO idea how to control it through the navi, any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm currently on the tape setup too

Actually they are not that bad. I'm using a cassette adapter, as well, and it's pretty darn good. Just make sure you get the gold plug-in not the silver. It just might help you

I'm sure there's a youtube video somewhere of how this works.
But don't be surprised if it just doesn't work at all. Mine randomly stopped working several times, and I would reinstall the cord into the back of the stereo, then it would work for a while. It stopped working completely now though, and hasn't been functional since November.

Well I use a tape adapter called idotconnector, which works well, has a silver aux input, it sounds decent but songs that I have bass sound bad. But the fact that the cable is all over the center console along with my car charger makes it all messy.

If it's the iSimple aux input, it should show "ipod connected" on the audio screen, when you turn the stereo to XM. From there, you can navigate the menus of your ipod (somewhat clumsily) using the big silver tuning knob, CD/Preset #6 to select a submenu or song, and #5 to return to the previous menu. Steering wheel controls or tuning knob should skip tracks as well.

my 04 does not have it. darn.
have to be careful with the wire in the compartment too because the top arm rest hinge was pinching mine. I thought i permanently damaged the isimple cable.

Just found that groove and hole today in my car, Ive been shutting the console on top of my cable since I got the car. I love finding little stuff like this (easter eggs) after you have had your car for a while.
