Sorry, that is the only procedure I have used to get the CD to function.

Thanks for the help. Guess the head will need replaced.

Had the same problem with mine ,GM replaced the unit under warranty , I'm lucky.
 
 If the changer is replaced with an after market unit won't you loose the display information from the computer, trip, mileage and oil life info?

AUX in for Malibus ? by yury

Hi, All
 
Hope it's the right forum for this....
 
I am looking for a solution that would allow me to have some kind of MP3 playback in my 05 LS.
Ideally it would be a DVD player or a some kind on flash based player - like an SD card slot or USB port...
But what can be realistically done with Malibus ? Maybe be there's a way to put at least AUX in in it ?
 
Any experience on the subject ?
Thanks.

FM transmitter from IPOD is the only thing the comes to mind.....DLO has a product that would allow an IPOD to sit in the product and broadcast via FM......I have seen it work simultaneously across three cars parked together....
 
not sure you can add an aux jack to it

i tried inexpensive fm transmitters (non-ipod) and found that the sound quality is not suitable for music.
 
not sure if iPod's transmitter is good or not. Besides i don't own an iPod, so spending 200-300$ for iPod and the transmitter...not so sure about that

Other than not having bought an MP3 yet (but will, not IPOD) and having an 05 Maxx rather than sedan, I'm in the same quandry as you are (plus my other car is a Kia Optima with the same restrictions).
 
Can you tell me what transmitters you tried? Maybe there's good ones and bad ones.

ok, i have this one:

the mp3 playback lacks seek within track, so it's bad for audioboks. quality is pretty bad too.
 
i also tried this one:

 
(you might have to enter a postal code to see the page, use "M4P 1V8" for example)
link title
 
same problems. the only valuable feature is additional USB power jack so one can plugin an mp3 player like RCA lyra, it charges it's battery via usb.
 
Sound quality is bad for both transmitters. If you plug in an external source via an audio jack the quality tends to be even worse than during native mp3 payback.
 
also i foind that i does depend on a car. i tried them both in Malibu and a Vibe. Vibe seems to produce a bit more interference, especially when you rev the engine, there's a background whining noice that changes pitch with the engine rpm.
