No updates.
I'm heading back to US end of month and will be calling Ferman this week to see if their installed ever talked with anyone about why the cable didn't work.
My problem is not with the dealer - they're great.

I have purchased a PIE GM12-POD/S which interfaces through the radio XM port and connects and charges the iPod.
I will have the dealer install it when I return to US in Oct.
Will advise on how well it works but I've been assured by mfg that it works great.
