Default Ipod/Iphone hook up to stock radio

I did a search and couldn't locate anything but I do remember someone I think local that added the hookup to their stock monsoon.

If so, can someone direct me in the right direction. I'm tired of using a FM Transmitter and like to take the plunge.

I appreciate you're input but that's not what I'm looking to do. I like the stock look and I don't need a crazy stereo system.

I want to say it was TXhotboi that did this but I cant remember.

I was searching on this a few weeks ago, but I believe the kit that is being sold is limited to certain years of headunits.

It's a PIE or PAC adapter or something; i'll see if I can find the thread.

Here's a few threads:

or this one if you want to take the HU apart..

Thank you so much for linking me to that!

I have a 2002 with CD player but no CD changer. I'm a little confused on if I'm able to do this or not? I don't want to hack up my stereo for no reason so if you have any idea that would be awesome. I keep seeing contradicting information.

well you're tapping into the wiring behind the HU. So you'll have your plug in running from that to your phone/ipod. in your car you could run it from behind the radio, under the shifter and into your middle console. would be 100% hidden.

Yeah i felt the same way; I did order one off eBay ( one of the adapters mentioned in the threads) this one:

PAC AAI-GM9 Aux Input MP3 IPOD Tahoe S-10 Suburban NEW

And it did not work, this one was for a 01 and up head unit with a single CD changer, but apparently we do not have a "slave unit" for the kit to plug into. I am returning this one shortly to get my money back.

I don't want to hack up my radio either : \

Found another kit on eBay:

ebay item # 390321293204

This one looks like it will work but you have to ground it and use a power source, plus mount the plate it comes with somewhere:

ebay item # 110676484248

USA Spec Ipod Interface is a really nice unit, IIRC it allows steering wheel controls and charges the Ipod

See them from time to time used on here for sale.

It was me... Ive sent you a pm as mentioned but here is a layout for other guys just in case anyone is interested.

Parts:
RadioShack® 1/8" Stereo Panel-Mount Phone Jack
Model: 274-246 | Catalog #: 274-246
$2.69

Speaker wire

Black Tape

Solder



Open the bottom of the radio and what you are going to be looking for is 2 wires that hook up to the cd connector



The two wires are going to be your left and right channel



Then you need to follow this diagram as far as hooking it up

Pin 1 - Ground - connect to the stereo chassis
Pin 2 - Left Channel - wire from CD connector on main circuit board
Pin 3 - Left Channel - wire coming from CD player module
Pin 4 - Right Channel - wire coming from CD player module
Pin 5 - Right Channel - wire from CD connector on main circuit board




Tape it all up and put it together

Silly question time, can this be done if you have the stock radio with cassette only? =P

I don't know **** about this stuff, but I can follow directions =D
