Default Aux. input into factory deck??

As it says... is it possible to put in an Auxiliary port for an Ipod into the factory stereo? My FM transmitter took a dump and I hated it anyway for lack of good signal. Kinda slow when it comes to wiring but Im trying to get into it more so a nice break down would be awesome

I don't know anything about putting an Aux port/jack in but you might check these guys out, they have ipod interface kits.

I used one of these in my 03+:

It worked great. Actually has two inputs and a selector switch to choose your source. I just kept a hard wired audio plug hanging in my console so I could easily plug in my laptop or MP3 player.


For an 00 model, you have a couple of choices depending on your radio config:

I kinda like the one the guy did on LS1 tech. I've got a couple questions about it hopefully he can answer, if so I will be the guinea pig. Theres no anti theft code or something you have to put in the stereo on these is there?

Hmm this look interesting. I wonder if I can tap in to the wiring for the amp that is under my center console instead of taking the HU apart.

I saw this adapter on ebay. Does the casette player plug in with these RCA plugs like on this adapter? My 2000 Silverado headunit has a selector ffor "aux". Can I unplug the casette and plug this in and use my ipod? At least its cheap........and I can't find my Van Halen casette

I dont have a cassette player in my 00?

good luck, Im sure you can bypass the cassette player and set it solely for the iPod kind of how Im going to do with the stereo
