2007 G35X w/ IPOD by psunow

I purchased a 2007 G 35X with Prem and Nav and wood options about 4 months ago....great car. I just purchase a Ipod Nano 3rd generation and wanted to know if anyone has used the AUXILIARY INPUT JACKS to input an IPod into the radio? If yes, what type of cables were purchased. I read somewhere that one needed special Apple cables in order for this to work.

You should just be able to purchase a cable with a 3.5 mm jack on one end and RCA connectors on the other (Radio Shack - Click here to see example cable). The 3.5 mm part goes into your Nano and the other end into the Aux jacks. You just need to choose the Aux input on the radio and start up the Nano to listen to your tunes. You may need a special cable if you want to watch video via the Aux jacks but this can only be done with the car in Park (I think). I have my 2nd gen iPod attached this way and listen to my music all the time without a problem. You need to change the music selection via the iPod - no controls available through the car (the 08 G has this feature).

I've also read that you can use a regular 3.5mm to RCA A/V cable (three output cable for audio and video) instead of the (more expensive) Apple cable. The trick is that the output has been swapped around: the video is on the red, the right channel is the white, and the left channel is the yellow. Same signal just on different lines. I can't find a cable around the house to confirm though.
 
  This only applies to viewing video though, not when you are just playing music.

KC is correct.
The only time you need to worry about special Apple cables is with the iPod Touch.
I wanted video output and only found the special $50- Apple cable to work for me.
 
Video looks great and sound is perfect, and since the cable was a B-Day gift... all the better.

The only thing I have to add is to make sure that the volume on the i-Pod is set to the maximum when using it this way. I've had no problems using i-Pod in my 07 6MT in this way with cables from Best Buy.

True... if you're hooking into the headphone jack, you need to adjust your output volume.
Using the iTouch Cable, it hooks into the larger flat dock connection port, and volume is not affected by the iPod's volume setting.
This depends on the cable being used.

Better clarify that I meant for using RCA A/V cables for a 1st generation nano.

Music Box question, searching artists by rag133
Jan 31, 2008 (7:25 am)

Is there a way to search songs in Music Box when driving? When on long highway drives I cann't do much with Music Box since search is greyed out until the car is stopped. Kind of ruins the purpose of having thousands of songs for a long trip like that if you can't work with them when on long highway stretches.
 
Is there a way to allow search while driving like this?

No, not really. The best thing you can do is change the play mode by using the SCN-RPT button. You can move through artists / albums that way using the steering wheel controls (hint, hold the up/down steering wheel control in down position for 3-5 seconds and it will change folders (either album or artist)).

Or... turning the right side wheel on the stereo itself (Tuning Knob) witll quickly zip through the list of Artists. You can then use the steering wheel buttons to get through the list of songs for that artist.
 
I'll use the Steering Wheel trick (hold the button downwards for 3-4 seconds) for one or two jumps, but if going from B - R, it's quicker to zip through the alphabetical list with the tuning knob.
