I want to be able to play my phones music in my 2005 g6 but I don't want to lose my message and info center. I would like something that is really reliable as I have gone through 2 FM transmitters already. Can anyone recommend a solution?

Look around for a cheaper one. I just found one for reference to know what one looks like.Last edited by GMManof3; 02-24-2015, 08:46 PM.

Re: FM Transmitter VS Radio Install
How about the PAC audio box. I have one in my 05 and love love love it. Gave me two aux inputs. Takes the place of the two unused xm channels

And I forgot to mention that to fit a G5/Cobalt radio unit, you need a 2009.5 G6 cluster and steering control + add a wire or you will lose you DIC, because the DIC is not displayed in the radio of the G5/Cobalt.

Re: FM Transmitter VS Radio Install
The cluster swap on an 05 would be a challenge as those have the 4 spoke steering wheel and different cruise buttons, so the 09.5+ cruise buttons won't fit unless you replace the wheel or mount it in the dash all awkward like.
I like CMessick's idea because it retains factory parts but gives a solid audio connection.
The other option would be to find a G6 stereo with built in AUX and use that. But that'll require a dealer to program it.

Re: FM Transmitter VS Radio Install
I never had any luck with FM transmitters, I would stay away from those if you can. You could always try craiglist, find a junker that is parting out a Pontiac G6 and ask them for a quote on the radio. You can probably buy it a much much cheaper, check out the radio in person, and they usually offer a small warranty on radios, like 30 days or so.
