Blue tooth compatibility?
Blue tooth compatibility? Good morning.
I recently picked up an 02 SS w a 12 disc changer, factory Monsoon system. I have read that there is a plug n play interface that plugs directly into the aux port of the changer so that I can use my iPhone.
Can somebody please tell me where I can find this harness, adapter?

There have been several auxiliary input adapters that plug into the CD changer port in the back of the head unit but most of them are no longer sold. One remaining model is the PAC AAI-GM9 adapter. It has not been popular because it requires that you have the optional CD changer (other adapters only required that you have the port for the changer - which all Monsoon systems have) and because you lose the use of the changer. The first issue isn't a problem for you since you have the changer and the second has been resolved by PAC recently by adding a switch which allows you to switch back and forth between the changer and your auxiliary device (phone, iPod, MP3 player, Bluetooth adapter, or whatever). Retail is $65 but you can get it on Amazon for around $35.

As far as 4th generation f-bodies go, it will ONLY work with Monsoon. The base audio system wasn't available with the necessary CD changer option.
I would recommend getting a Bluetooth auxiliary adapter to plug into the PAC adapter (under $20) and then you don't have to worry about the weird compatibility issues with Apple connectors.
