2009 cts has 3.5 & usb ports. do you believe the cable will allow for car to control iphone 4s (pause, forward, itunes radio, pandora)?

Works well on my iPhone 5 & 6 Plus controlling all in car functions on the phone. I don't have pandora so can't comment on that functionality.

Yep, works flawlessly. All music controls are available and selection comes up on the display. Highly recommend this.

I would not count on that. The system is designed to take control of your phone or iPod, and use the GM-designed controls to sift through your music storage. So in my 2011, the display for my iPod when plugged in will show playlists, artists, albums, etc. But it doesn't show podcasts. I can play the podcast by looking for it in the "artist" section, but if I want full control of iTunes and streaming and everything else on the phone--I'll just plug the 3.5 aux cable in and control it with my phone. This cable is too short for that. So to summarize, get this to play your music with titles on the screen. Don't expect a full iphone display to suddenly pop up in your car. I would not count on that.

The cable allows you to use the car controls using your ipod/iphone through the auxillary component. You can listen to pandora, itunes...etc.

My previous answer only applies to downloaded music. Don't know about pandora. It will NOT play podcasts.

I have a nav system in my 2009 and the port worked. I simply removed the aux input above the ash tray and pulled the cord through. It works great

Hi you are right, i had the same problem with my Hyundai and i did the same thing at first. After o bought this cable i was able to control my iPod, iPhone 4, now iphone 5 (with the apple adapter) and the iPad mini with the adapter. It works great!

It probably depends on the vehicle and also if you're trying to keep a cd changer in play. For my installation, I only needed the iPod 30 pin cable as I wanted the USB port free so that I can use it as a charging port for my iPhone while in the vehicle.

I will work on your car and system, but it only provides an AUX input, it doesn't provide charging for connected devices.

This cable will not help you use your car controls. This is just like any other cable for audio with charging for your apple products. Buy the cable recommended by your car manufacturer.

Should, connect, but can be an FM frequency challenge. I actually returned mine. Even in southern delaware where there are not a lot of high powered radio stations, I got a lot of interference and need to switch frequencies. For the same price, about, I bought a usb ready receiver to replace to manufacturer unit in my 97 miata. Plug the iPhone in with a lightning cable and rock on. Control from the head unit or the phone. Charges at the same time. &#128526;

It should sync with your iPhone so you don't even need to plug it in. I only have the 4s but I use it in the salon... No cords!! It's amazing and I love it!!! Never have tried it in car though.

I think you need y cable, cos this device have to connect to the cd changer port. I am not sure about your car model. You have to do some research before ordering.
2221483
yes. this cable has usb for data and 1/8" audio jack. the USB portion allows your head unit to connect with your ipod so that you can control the ipod through the car's head unit. enjoy!

No, this is for audio only, for those cars that do not have Bluetooth sound connectivity (aka AD2DP). Some cars will only connect bluetooth for phone use only and not for stereo/sound/Pandora etc. (like my Mini Cooper hence need this cable). Your car controls (i.e. next track, stop, etc.) will NOT pass back to the phone via this cable. You won't find a simple cable to do what you are looking for, but with a 2014 GMC, I'd really look to see if your radio supports AD2DP then you can use all of the car controls and even see song title, cover art etc on your screen. Go into your phone and car settings and make sure you select the "audio" or other settings that may be offered beside the normal phone connection. These settings would be in the bluetooth pairing options menus (start with your phone).

We are in CO and the clock radio is in DC, so we can't try it with the Iphone 4s. However, my husband looked on the Sony site and it appears that it can work (with case removed), but it needs a docking adapter. The radio came with adapters for different devices, but he doesn't know if that particular adapter is included. If it isn't, apparently it can be obtained at the Apple site under "Apple Universal Dock". Hope this helps.

This cable is for the iPhone 5, so the cigarette usb charger portion would work if you had the 30 pin cable to the iphone 4s

Go to crutchfield.com, type in the stereo model and see if the unit will fit into your car. It will most likely work with the iphone, you'll have to connect it to your receiver with the USB 2.0 adapter that came with the iphone. As for having full control of the iPhone, the receiver is setup in a way that only allows the HU to control the iphone. you won't be able to control it using the iphone, you'll have to use the HU instead. And i got it professionally installed, took a little over an hour and cost 97 bucks. Unless you really know what you're doing, i'd get it installed by a pro.

I have a new '13 CTS and did not have any luck with my IPhone 5, same issue as you.But is does work wonderfully with my IPOD.

yes, it works great with my car usb port. I am able to control the iphone music/audio playback with my car stereo.

That has nothing to do with the cord, and everything to do with the design of your car's system. This just connects it. In my 2011, it allows you to scroll through artists and playlists through the car's system interface, but you don't even have a section for podcasts. You have to come up with a workaround like finding the podcasts in the "artists" menu. Good luck!
