I'm glad you like the results of the cable.
When I did mine I was surprised at how much you have to pull to get the head unit out of the slot. That sucker is in there tight.
Now, you did the whole "aux" thing and reprogramming the stereo. I am wondering what the purpose of that was. I didn't do that and the iPod works great with the stereo. The head unit display shows random "Track" numbers as if it were playing a CD, though. But it works.
