Hey guys,
I just got my Malibu 1997 a few months ago and tryna figure out how i can plug in my ipod to this car. There is a AUX button on the radio, but can not find the place where I should plug in ipod.
I guess there is a trick about it, but cant figure out by myself.
Thanks guys.

Consider that the iPod was released a few years AFTER your Malibu - that's for auxilary devices such as the trunk mount CD changer. (Mine is labeled CD/AUX, to switch to the CD or to whatever's on the AUX connector on the back - for this radio, in my 2000, it would have been most likely a cassette deck. On the factory cassette, it would have been the CD player and the button was TAPE/AUX.)
Now, if you WANT to use it, you'll need an adapter.
Try www.crutchfield.com and answer its questions as to your car and the radio. Do remember that they DO guarantee if they say it works, it works - and their own testing DOES run a few bucks, so it won't necessarily be the cheapest source, but they DO deserve the money IMAO.
