Playing Sirius or Pandora through the Mopar iPod/iPhone connector????
If you have a Mygig with the Mopar 82211853 iPod / iPhone connector, can you also use it to listen to Sirius or Pandora when your phone is streaming it through its data connection?
I know you can't use on screen controls on the Mygig to change anything, but if you connect your iPhone and then manually load the app.......will the audio still come through?

To make a long story somewhat short. My free trial subscription just ran out on a 2010 RER I bought last year. I am surrounded by good 3G coverage, so instead of renewing my Sirius subscription (that I already pay for in two other vehicles) plus now adding the JK.......I would like to shitcan all of my radio subscriptions and instead rely on the 3G data connection on my iPhone to stream Sirius using a cheaper internet only subscription.
I wanted to make sure that Mopar cable does what I want before I drop the $80 on it. It it doesn't then I'm going to sell my Mygig and go with an aftermarket head unit.

on my Dodge Nitro (with mygig) this was not possible to do thought the iPod/iPhone connector as it puts the phone into accessory mode for the stereo to control it. Now there are slight differences between the mygig in the jeep and dodge but I would guess fundementally the same.

The input jack on the face has nothing to do with my question. I know I can plug a 3.5mm audio patch cord between the radio face and phone and it works fine. My question was if I would get the same results by plugging the Mopar iPod cable into the phone instead of using the jack on the front of the radio. Obviously I will be be able to listen to the music on my phone this way, but I wanted to make sure I would also be able to listen to music that would be streaming through the data connection.

So I think it must have more to do with whatever hardware Jeep decided to use in the Mygig and connector cable. If the Jeep hardware forces the iPhone into an accessory mode and locks the screen then I'm pretty sure it won't work, but I'm hoping it just enables the digital audio out on the bottom connector.

Can anyone say for sure on the Jeep?
