iPhone/iPod Intergration with 2008/2009 Saturn Vue (Including Mount) Part 1 of 2

Part 1 of 2

Hey fellow Vue owners!

I figured I'd give you guys the heads up and the skinny on the situation.

If you have always wanted to setup your iPhone/iPod with your Vue so you can:

Charge it while in use
Control it with the radio/steering wheel controls
Have great sound quality
Not have to always use the AUX port cause the lingering cable is unattractive

and

Have a nice mount with a good viewing angle

This is the video for you. I will show you how to get all this together and easily installed YOURSELF for about $200! Going to a car audio store will cost you twice as much! I've done my research. Plus, you'll have the added honer of a do-it-yourself project you'll use every time you're behind the wheel.

Tools you'll need:

Phillips-Head Screw Driver (the longer the stem, the better)
Flat-Head Screw Driver (not so long, but not short either)
Angle Cutters (Wire Cutters)
Needle-Nose Pliers
Zip Ties

Shopping List:

iSimple - Apple® iPod® Direct Connect Kit for Select GM Vehicles (ISGM74)
also known as the Peripheral Electronics PXAMG iPod Interface
Peripheral Electronics PODCBLBM-5v 3G iPhone Charging Cable
Bracketron Mobile Electronics iPod Docking Kit (Vent Mounting Solution)
Bracketron Mobile Electronics Satellite Radio Dash Mount (Pro-Series 45mm)

All of these items, except for the 3G iPhone Charging Cable can be found at Best Buy. You may be able to find them online for a few bucks cheaper, but having the security of being able to return the products if defective is better if you go to Best Buy. Besides, at the time of writing this thread, Best Buy is the best bargain. The cable can be found on DiscountCarStereo.com or by searching Google or eBay.

Make sure the Satellite Radio Mount is the 45mm kind. Otherwise, the mount will not be long enough. The iSimple Kit must be the ISGM74 version so it will come with all the necessary cables and such for your 2008/2009 Vue.

You can research more info on the PXAMG Interface but believe me when I tell you it works WONDERFULLY!

This video will show you how to install each device giving you complete integration with the factory radio including a mount to hold your iPod/iPhone in place.

does your vue makes grinding noise whenever you make a turn, and does it jerk when you press the gas pedal on a hill or something
