I'm in the market for a new-to-me GM full size and have a question. What year did the USB option on the stereo become available? Also, was this standard with all the stereos after it was added or do I need to look for a specific package or RPO code?

I currently use a USB thumb drive loaded with music, for my listening pleasure. I like this so much that if/when I find my next ride, if it doesn't have a USB port I'll be switching out the head unit to one that does. So it would be easier & cheaper for me to find one that has the USB port stock.

Thanks!

 

Lot of posts today, I got buried quick.

I think 2010 had the USB, does anyone w/ a 09 have the USB on their factory stereo? 2008?

 

Not sure I was surprised mine had it, but its a '12, maybe new thing to the trucks they added

 

My 09 doesn't have it.

 

My '08 GMC does not have it. I swapped it for a OGM1.

 

2011 as far as I know was the first yera.

 

I have a coworker with a 2010 that has the USB connection, so that must be the first year.

 

got it in my 2010...think that was the first year. not sure what is required to add it

 

my 10 has it. it's just a cable from the front of the radio to the back of it. nothing special. you can head out to micro center and get the cable.
