for those taht arent comfortable doing this mod them selves i can do it for a small fee

 

if you're in the Houston area of Tx and wold like this done to your vehicle, i can be of help. jus shoot me a PM

i have successfully done this to both my 2002 Trans Am, and a friend's 2000 Z28 with no problems at all along the way

 

i could really use some help on this i tried to split into all of them and nothing. if anybody knows the wiring of this radio i could use the help

 

is the jack wired correctly? what have u done to verify its not working? you know a cd has to be in and playing for it to work

 

if you look at the page before this i have a pic of the way mine is wired. i tried the 1 and 3 wire on both. i played a cd and when i put a plug in the jack the cd stops and and a few seconds later the cd player says err and the cd comes out. no sound with the ipod plugged in

 

what do you think volvo. what wire do you think it is.

 

If it's showing an ERR on the CD player then it does sound like a wiring issue with something other than the audio wiring being tapped into. Is this that stock radio that came with the car, do you have a picture of the front and does it have a date on it? The circuit board is a bit different than I recall, the placement of the connector and the chip in the middle.

Compare to my 98:

There should only be one wire coming from the CD module, so it should be easy to track down, and although the wire colors seem to change over the years the audio signal positions have stayed the same, and yours look right based on that (the one on the right).

Here's how to probe the connector for the audio pins:

"I had a stereo connector and hooked into a 12v power supply, you may need to run it off the car's connector. I made a probe by cutting off the end from an old set of headphones, and hooking the left/right channels together, and the left/right grounds together, and then each to a paper clip, plugged it into a female/female adapter, and then into a set of speakers. You could also just cut off the end of some headphones and probe using the headphone ends, just be careful because you can get some really loud tones. Put the ground probe onto the metal case of the stereo, and then tap each pin looking for sound"

 

no i dont have a pic right now but the front looks like a regular 2000 cd player

 

Just curious if anyone had traced down the leads heading to the amplifier IC in the radio. (or possibly pre audio processor IC) but after whatever the audio mux is? This would possibly enable not needing to have a CD PLAYING TO get AUX audio?

Spektre

 

From what I have gathered so far, I believe this will work on my 2003 c5 z06 w/o cd changer

Can someone confirm being successful with this car?? Thanks

 

100% will work on all year c5 radios cd changer or not

 

i what to do this on my 02 2500hd but i want to use the aux button that is for the tape player, does anyone know what wires i would have to tap in to to do that.

 

if it doesnt have a tape player currently and u want to somehow utilize the aux button it wont work

 

great how to. I'll give it a try!

 

Here is my write up for my 94 camaro stereo I wish I found this first though would have helped me out! https://ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-el...l#post12827495

Why did you guys use so many wires to the mini jack? I just ran two is that wrong? it seems to work fine?

 

The reason it uses 5 wires rather then just a left/right/ground is that it's using a switching jack so it can pass either the jack audio or the CD audio through. It's switched mechanically based on if an audio cable is plugged in or not. It can be done with a regular jack, though as you note you need a CD with nothing on it since it will play both at the same time.

 

Over the weekend I added the aux input to my radio. There was a lack of pictures for my year so when I did it I took some of the process to help anyone else who might need them. The difference is the wires you use for the left and right channels is the 4th and 5th wire not the 1st and 3rd like the newer years.

 

When I tapped into wire 4&5 it works fine, But, if I unplug my Iphone, leave the cord pluged into the jack I hear the radio vary soft, then if I unplug the cord I hear the radio at the set volume? anybody hear of this

 

bleedthrough pretty normal

 

Ok so I have a radio out of a 99 trans am. it is the monsoon cd player and I am having trouble finding the wires. Can some one post pictures or if it has already been done give me the link to it? thanks
