installing an Auxillary port?
is this possible without having to get a whole new radio?
|
sure is check here:
iSimple - SoundByte Apple® iPod® Connection Kit for Select Domestic Vehicles (Basic Install Included) - ISDM71 i think that's it, i think crutchfield and sonicelectronix have them also, i post them in another link a while ago but can't find it |
I seem to remember a while back, someone mentioned a GM harness that plugged into the factory amplifier. But it required a fair bit of wiring work also.
Anyone remember the one I'm thinking of? |
Your going to have to deal with a cord either way of course, I would check into things with chevy and see if they can tell you whats on the back side, maybe something to wire into there.
A buddy got his hooked up to the back side of his, but that was also an aftermarket radio |
I seen a "Hack" a while back that required opening up the radio and soldering wires for a jack right to the tape head unit. I have looked for the link and can't find it. It was on another car fourm so if anyone knows it post it up. and I'll keep looking.

I just use a tape deck adapter. It has surprisingly good quality. Do you not have a tape deck?
|
i do have a tapedeck. i got one of those adapters that go in the tape player, but it didnt sound good. idk if it was just a cheap crappy one, or if my tape player just sucks.
im okay with a cord. lol. i wonder how it would work with me not having an aux button :confused: i was going to say i could just disconnect the tape player and connect an aux port in its place... maybe just have the jack come through the tape deck opening. that way, when i press the 'tape' button, it would turn the radio to aux... but i think it doesnt even switch over to tape unless theres actually a tape in the player. it just goes to CD. IM SO CONFUSED AND IN THE DARK ABOUT THIS!!! |
This might help.Connect an MP3 player to a tape player
it's not the one i was looking for but similar. You'll just have to pull the stereo and take it apart on your own. (If you know how) somewhere on this vast internet there is a car stereo specific how to but I can't find it. |

I used a USA Spec gm Pa-11 for my 04 Monte. It was very simple to install, and it allows you to connect ipod and aux input. Got it on ebay for like 50 bucks about a year ago, well worth it

And the most important question - where do you put this unit when it is plugged into the car? |
I have the stock AM/FM/CD headunit. Yea it tells the radio a changer is connected. I have the unit stashes in a hole kinda below the headunit, i can see it and access it from the passenger side footwell, i then ran the ipod cable into the center counsel, made a small hole in the plastic piece where the head seat controls would be located and have my ipod sitting in the slot along side the shifter. I can take some pics if ur interested. Sorry i just kinda rambled about it...

Don't know how much pics would help - kinda concerned about its interface with my radio since I have the full headunit (AM/FM/CD/Tape). Do you remember any stipulations in the instructions about that? Tried looking at the current manual online but there seems to be a dearth of information surrounding what radios it works with.
