In my car there is a red and white cable, like the ones you would put in a tv just popping out of the cup holder and wondering if any one would know what it's used for, I bought something to connect that to my iPod and it connects perfect but I can't find how to play it if that's in fact what it's for, any help would me very much appreciated

Interesting. It seems that someone has added a mod to your car because mine doesn't have that. I am interested in hearing more.

if it's hooked up, then you should hit CD and see if anything is on there on 'EX'. otherwise, get in there and see where it goes!!
