iPod with Monsoon CD Player I have a 98 Trans Am with the Monsoon CD Player, it doesn't have the CD Exchanger. There has to be some way to hardwire an iPod to this thing. I've done a search and everybody says you can plug it into the aux port, I'm not sure where this is located or if I even have one. On the front of my CD Player I don't see an aux button either, just a CD/Play. There are 2 plugs on the back of my CD Player, I assume 1 is for the CD Changer, if I had one, I unplugged the 9 pin connector and everything still worked so I assumed this was correct. There has to be a way of hooking this thing up.

The Monsoon Headunit in the f-body does not have an AUX-IN port.
Also, since you have a 1998 CD Player, it may not be able to control a CD Changer and converting the port to AUX-IN might not work. A search on here on that subject will get you the answer. It has been discussed before.

VIP1 is correct - the 9-pin CD changer port on the back is where an auxiliary input adapter (such as the GM9-AUX) plugs in but the 98 model single-CD head unit wasn't capable of controlling a changer and the adapter won't work. You would have to get either a cassette head unit or a single-CD head unit from late 99 or later.
The Camaros had a CD/AUX button but the Firebirds had the CD/Play button that did the same thing.
On the front of my CD Player I don't see an aux button either, just a CD/Play.
