ipod question

Hi, I just bought a 2007 HHR 1LT. My wife has an ipod nano. What do I need to get so I can hook up my ipod to the radio? And where can I get it?

Check out Radio Shack. That's where I got my cable from for my ipod.

Depending on the radio, you can just get a cable form Radio Shack and plug it into the from or you can get the ipod integration system from GM.

If you do a search for the gm system you'll find all the info here on that.

I bought mine at Circuit City. Depending on the length of the cable you want they range anywhere from 10-25 dollars

Just tell them you need an audio cable with male connections at both ends. Radio Shack has two in stock - a 3-foot cable or a 6-foot. They've become pretty ubiquitous now that most car manufacturers have an audio jack built in to their head units.
Hope that helps!
P.S. If you don't want to mess with a cable, you can also buy an FM transmitter that goes into the audio-out for your iPod. I've tried a couple and they work, but a direct connections works best!
