GTO ipod hook up
#1
![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Can you hook up an I-Pod in a GTO using an Auxiliary Input Device (like the 9 pin hookup on other GMs)? I did this in my 02 ws6 through the CD changer port on the back of the head unit. It this possible on a GTO since it has the in-dash cd changer instead of the external one that the trans am had? I don't even know what kind of stereo is in the GTO, but I was curious about this since I am considering getting one.
I tried search extensively on all the forums and couldn't find any info on this. Thanks in advance for any input.

I see this is your first post. Welcome to the site.
The GTOs are still kind of new. I have yet to do an install on one or know someone who has. Ill keep an eye out for you and let you know what I find.![Cheers!!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_cheers.gif)
Speaking from experience, Ive never seen a factory HU with an Aux input. This would be the first
You might look into whats called an ipod connector.

A lot of head units come with a port to attach an external cd changer. There are a lot of options for auxiliary audio inputs connectors for these cd changer ports.
I am just wondering if there is such port for external input on the GTO's factory Blaupunkt stereo head unit since it's has an in-dash cd changer already there.
I may just have to take it out and see for myself, then I will let everyone know what I find (i.e., if there is an easy ipod direct connection available on the GTO's stock stereo system).

Thanks. I tried asking the dealer, but they obviously don't know anything about anything. I even called technical support at blaupunkt (the stereo manufacturer) and they said I need to ask pontiac. It amazes me how someone could work at a Pontiac dealership and not know things like wheel size, etc. I know if I was a car salesman, it wouldn't be hard for me to know some stuff about the cars I was selling even if I didn't like cars that much. Especially the most expensive one the lot.
I don't expect the dealer to know about complicated stuff on the stereo, but they really don't know anything about just general vehicle specs. I asked about the skip shift feature and if it had it and no one at the dealership had any idea what I was talking about even after I explained it. Probably one of the many reasons why GM is teetering on bankruptcy at the moment.
Sorry, end of rant.

There is no aux-input on the stock blaupunkt unit in the GTO. I have confirmed this for sure. Thanks for the suggestions, I think I am going to just get a new head unit for the car.
