PLEASE HELP: IPOD adapter questions.
so i'm a new G owner. YAY! i have an 09 Vert w/ tech nav pkg.
i bought a bluetooth 30pin adapter:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Naxa-NAB-40...72.m2749.l2649
i plugged it in, and there is a light, i was able to pair with my phone, no problem.
but when i select source to ipod, it says "no ipod connected" on my nav screen.
i read that we need a 12v to 5v converter to power the device:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-TO-5V-C...frcectupt=true
but i'm thinking if i already have power at the unit, do i still need it? maybe to trick the system that something is plugged in?
but its weird that its going 12 to 5 vs the other way around.. meaning the car should sense that something is plugged in, since i do have power.
anyway, decided to post here and see if anyone has any ideas for me, or ran into this before.
thank you in advance.

You do not need any additional power, the device supposed to get the power from the iPod 30-pin connector. It looks that the device is simply not sending the signal to the stereo. Try to restart the car and see if the stereo will "see" device connected. For solid factory looking solution you can look into our GROM BT3 Bluetooth car kit product.
