If so - I'm just about sold.
As long as your radio supports RDS on it. There are alot of cars out there like this, where the radio will support the RDS text from the FM Radio stations, but not be able to decode text from the CD Changer.

That is why on the 2005 GS the kit will not support the text. The radio was not programed to understand text information from the CD Changer.

Cool - and is the A&E in HB your only recommended installer in OC? I'm in south county and would prefer somebody more local (Irvine area?) if possible. If not, I'll cruise up on a weekend.

For the OC area I highly recommend A&E in HB. They have done a lot of work on my personal vehicles and JT does an amazing job. If you are wanting to get in on the weekend I would recommend giving him a call to scedule an appointment to ensure that he will have the FMRDS kit there. He does do a lot of iPod intergration systems there at his store.

Speak with either John or JT and tell them Travis refered you.

Sorry for the delay on answering. For CL memebers I can do free shipping for you.

That will save you $14.99.

my ipod cassette adapter kept ejecting, 3-4x within a 5 minute period, really frustrating. changed adapters, but the problem continued. before spending big bucks to install a new sound system or a more expensive ipod adapter, i purchased a name-brand audio head cleaner/demagnetizer off ebay, spent all of $7 (including S&H) ran it a couple of times, and the ipod adapter hasn't self-ejected once.
