[peterg]

Hi I'm looking for a diagram so I can add AUX cable for an Ipod. Any help would be appreciated. Also if anyone has a Cheep and easy way of doing this.

Thanks

I may be wrong but i think you have to change the head Unit. Search factory amp bypass and do the modified harness, and get a new headunit.

[peterg]

Gotta be an easier way, the thing has AUX on the controls. I'm thinking RCA jacks hidden somewhere or additional input.

I added a factory tape deck to my stocker

and use a tape adaptor to input the mp3 player. I think you can get a PAC  adaptor also.


The AUX button runs factory cd changers or tape deck, you have to add them to use them. do a  search for the pin out it's in the tec section
 

[peterg]

Ok, but how easy is it to pull out? Any diagram out there?

Peter

[clemsonfan1992]

New headunit may be a little costly but its worth EVERY PENNY!! Especially when you bypass the factory amp. Ask all 02 owners that did the factory amp bypass about the diffrence in sound quality. It sounds so much better. Im trying to get my dad to do his so i can hook up my ipod to his truck when i drive his.

[peterg]

I'm sure, but my Z-71 has 225,000 miles on it and I don't really want to put money into the sound. So I'm just trying to add the IPOD.

Peter

[clemsonfan1992]

Mine has 185000! But ok just a sugestion

[peterg]

Hey at least we have the same taste in color... I thought I was looking at my truck in your picture.

Peter

the cheapest way is to buy a radio transmitter. one style plugs into a power port and you just plug in the Ipod and select a radio station.  $30  usually works well, some times interference happens I use them in rental cars all the time

[peterg]

Yeah, I've looked at those and I'd rather wire it in somehow.


Peter

[Alaska_AV.]

on the 02 you have to to have a slave unit 'cd changer' 'tape deck' for the radio to use the inputs.

goto a junk yard and get a slave tape deck, and the 9 pin wire harness out of a 99-2002 gm truck

wire it in and jamb a tape in it. wire the out puts to a plug to use your ipod . stuff it behind the dash. then push AUX on radio and you'll hear music....


thats the highlights, if thats for you I'll be more helpfull.

welcome to the club!

Thanks Alaska. If I decide to replace it, what units would you recommend to replace the factory radio, keeping in mind I want to keep it cheep and simple?


Peter

[clemsonfan1992]

Alpine, Pioneer, Sony. I had a sony radio with bluetooth when i had my jeep, so when i got my av i took out the factory radio, and put in the sony. I wish the lights on the radio were red to match the truck.

[Alaska_AV.]

one of these adapters would work also

My choice of new head unit would cost over $700  double din,DVD,nav, blue tooth, no help here

Their is no pac for the 02 Alaska. Sorry Peter But factory amp bypass and new H/U is the only way you can go! Alaska Yes he did! 

[peterg]

Peter

[peterg]

Are you sure?

They list the iPAC-OEM 'for gm 2002 avalanche' and needed cable 'CHEVROLET Avalanche 2002 Location: Headunit AB-GM9' with no slave units or xm/sat  Off star dont count it no longer works and can be unpluged

I see the 99 and earler radios dont work

[Alaska_AV.]

Peter

You told the CAFCNA site god, well upper Deity, to piss off.......

[clemsonfan1992]

Positive! I was told that by like a million members when I was going to do the samething peter is. No peter were messing with ya!  thats my good Southern hospitality!

[peterg]

It happens when you talk in sound bursts... Didn't mean to pee in anyones wheeties..


Peter

[Alaska_AV.]

I don't normally believe what I'm told. I have done a lot of UN DOABLE. New stuff comes down the pipe all the time they may have made something since then.....

peter should call PAC

[Alaska_AV.]

I peed in his wheeties..


Peter

  OMG

[ygmn]

I added a factory tape deck to my stocker

and use a tape adaptor to input the mp3 player. I think you can get a PAC  adaptor also.

[peterg]

Lots of good ideas here, Think I can get part of the stimulus to pay for it?


Peter

[Alaska_AV.]

only if you haven't paid any taxes in the last few years

[peterg]

For mine, I put in a new Kenwood eXcelon head unit with the USB port out the back on a cable.  I cut out one of the small square blank spots beneath the OnStar controls and mounted the USB port.  Now I have a nice little plug for my iPod that looks pretty stock.  That coupled with the amp by-pass instructions I found on this website gave me a great sound.  Now if my speakers would just get delivered already!

you CAN get away with not gettin a new headunit
it is kinda pricy but new headunits are definantly worth it but if ya dont wanna get one and like that stock look, you can go to your nearest audio dealer and get a loud converter which will let ya hook up your ipod, subs or any extra speakers ya wanna, it plugs directly into your stock headunit and uses all the same wires but it has jacks for your extras ya wanna add.
