Re: TPMS reset procedure

Re: Insurance?

Re: Has anyone swapped motors in a PPV yet?

I did add my own rear camera from a generic ebay kit and made the cable for that with parts another guy here sells. The USB/ipod front input cable I still have to piece tog...

Is there not a USB type cable that you could plug directedly into the radio and then have a USB cable basically sticking out of your dash that you attach whatever to? I can never find out what the back of the GM USB/ 3.5mm connector looks like to see?
