Then your CTS is not iPhone control enabled. You'll need a regular generic aux cable which is only a few bucks and connects to your headphone jack. Then you'll have to control it straight from your iPhone itself. The CTS was never Bluetooth enabled for regular music (phone calls only) until the 2014 version.

Radio Shack. 3.5Mm Male ->Male Connector Is What You Need. But You Will Control Music Directly Thru Your IPod

Are you sure there is not a USB connection inside the lower portion of the center console? I have a 2013 Cadillac CTS and inside the console is an aux jack and a USB connection. The USB connection is a little to the left of the aux jack. If you don't have a USB connection, I think you can plug your Iphone into just the aux jack but you have to use the controls on the Iphone rather than the radio. That works for my Ipod. Also the cable I purchased was a perfect replacement for the one that came with my car if your phone has the 30 pin Apple connector.

I have an older model. Have u tried Bluetooth? Maybe newer model Caddy's Bluetooth both phone and music capabilities. Otherwise the aux connect will allow the iPod to play and control the music without Cadillac controls.

There is not one that comes with it. Most cars made these days have sound systems that can play off of iPods and iPhones so there's no need to allow the speaker itself to connect.

For my car cassette player, I'm using together with iDeck Integrated Car Cassette Adapter for iPhone. Hence, I can use the iPhone bluetooth to play the music.

You could with an auxiliary audio cord. It has an earphone jack, so as long as you are using a cord or some other device that works with your car stereo an plugs into an earphone jack it would work. But the device does not transmit a signal. It will not connect on its own.

You can to the computer. Try the USB input on the stereo and select "iPod/iPhone input".

Depending on your car, there may be a factory or aftermarket input device available. These usually mimic a factory add-on player (CD changer or Minidisc player) and have a stereo mini-plug or RCA jack adaptor. You can search online or via car forums for your car. I've got one for my Mazda.

No. You can only hook up an iPhone 5 with an AUX cord. I loves this stereo for about 3 weeks, but then it just stopped working. Not sure if I got a dud, or if others have the same issue... Cool look, and good sound... Until it breaks.

I have a coaxial white/red cord with head phone plug on other end. Plug it into aux on receiver and play music from any device headphone input u can purchase this cord off amazon.

I have hooked my ipod to it using a phono cord from the headset plug in and it works well. Similar to how you would hook it up in your car.

I have tried this on my 2009 C300 (which had an ipod connector cable) but unfortunately it didn't work. There is a 3.5 mm (regular headphone) audio out too on this blutooth receiver that can be used to connect to a AUX in (if you have that). Unfortunately my car did not have an AUX-in and therefore I could not use this. Despite this, I decided to keep this device since it looked useful with built in battery and portability. It works with my bose ipod dock though!

I have a 2012 CTS and a Gen 1 iPod touch. Steering wheel controls and head unit work without any problems. Sort by artist, alphabetical songs, etc. Also randomizes via touch screen, which I assume you are referring to as Head Unit.

I use an mp3 car adapter. You can play anything with a 3.5mm headphone jack through the radio. It is not perfect but well worth the small investment if you have a car without a connection built in. Plug it into the cigarette lighter or accessory power port, tune radio to a blank area of the dial and tune the adapter to the same number and you are ready to play your phone, mp3, portable Cd or Dvd through the car stereo speakers. It will fade in and out some but its cheaper the a new stereo installation. Good luck.

If you have a USB+Aux in your car, Using BMW "Y" cable and WMA1000 it will work with your iPhone with Playlist on the screen. Also the steering wheel works to control your music from your phone. Any other smart phone will have the audio streaming only with no playlist on your car screen and limited control.

Here is the adapter you should need to run from your iPhone to the "AUX IN" connectors on the back of the unit. Just cut and paste this link - http://www.showmecables.com/product/3-5mm-Stereo-Mini-Plug-to-Dual-RCA-Plugs-6-IN.aspx

I plug it into the receiver of my entertainment system and then I can use my iPhone to play music through that system via Bluetooth. So that my iPhone does not need to be physically plugged into the receiver via an aux. cord. So I can answer text messages and use my phone while still hearing music.

I drive a 2011 Honda CR-V and so far haven't been able to find a model that will work in it. I have the 5th generation Shuffle and when I tried to plug it in was told that my vehicle didn't support the format. I know this hasn't been much help as I'm not sure what year model car you drive. I'm assuming that my car would need a much older model iPod since none of the three MP3 players I've tried have worked. I hope you find something that works for you!

This cable works with 3 different iPods in our 13 CTS. Once in a while it needs to be unplugged and plugged back in to get it to work. Since you are using an iPhone for music I can't say for sure if it will work. From what the dealer tech bulletin tells me you need to put the iPhone in airplane mode to get it to play.
