This is my stock chevy radio modified for a AUX plug. The plug that I used was from radioshack part # 274-246 phone jack 5 prong. If yo have any questions or comments let me know.
Bob i want to say thank u for the video. i did it just like u said and it works great. thank u again. i did the mistake of buying that aai-gm9 not knowing u needed a slave cd or cassette player. so thats money out the window like $50. i didn't want to spend any more money so i did your way lol .thanks for saying me money
This is extremally helpful! Trust me, I have looked at a lot of other video that really doesn't explain it very well. Would you please explain where do you connect the red and green wire into? I see the yellow and green are the left and right. But I'm not seeing where the yellow and green goes.
Hi there, I just did your conversion on the same stereo. It works, but now when I want to listen to a cd, I only get sound from the drivers side. Plus, when plugged in to my phone to stream Pandora I can hear the music from the cd playing very very quietly during song breaks? I'm thinking it might be the switch? Maybe I got it to hot while soldering? I followed your wiring to the T, and have rechecked everything twice. I just dont know what I'm missing. Oh, and it plays balanced when in radio and mp3/phone/tablet mode. It just won't play the right side speakers when the cd only is on. Thanks for any help.
I'll go buy the 3.5mm jack but I don't understand the wiring. It looks like the first pin is black to green. 3rd pin is white to yellow. Purple is ground. What are you connecting red to? and what are you connecting blue to?? This is great that you are showing us how to do this. thanks!
Hi Bob just received 5 pins connector from online adress you supplied The four bottom pins are in straight line compare to yours on video. Any comments,will weld in same color sequence as video. T Y
This project is great I have been using my aux plug in my truck for seven months and it works great. I have a Company vehicle I want to do this with. How do you find the left and right channels?
im not sure wich is left or right, but how i would find out is wire the radio and leave the wires loss on the rca jack then hook it up to your phone play tunes and disconnect one of the wires and see which side goes out. that will determine left or right.
what color wire is going to the tip, ring, and sleeve on the aux jack? if there are 5 wires going into the jack then 2 of the wires need to be going to the same location on the aux jack. Thanks for the video!
Hello Robert. Great video. I want to add a Bluetooth and remove the tape player. I have an delco fm20ev. Has the cassette player on the head unit and at the bottom a six CD changer. I’m wondering since I have a blue wire instead of a black wire with a bunch of white wires connected. How did you find the wire pin schematic. I hope you can help. Also I can send photos. I took the head unit apart.
Hi there! Just did this exactly how you instructed, double checked, triple checked...but the CD will now only play for sub 1 minute before "err" comes on and kicks it back to radio. Thoughts? Didn't have any issues with the CD player prior.
When the err. Pops up just get a new radio its a error there is something wrong with the radio, I have had that happen to 3 different radio and haven't been able to get the CD player to work
Bob Hastrich Hmmm..... but it seems that the red and blue wires then just go into the audio plug for your ipod. So when you remove your mp3 from your jack how is that it connects to the CD again?
Bob Hastrich Thanks I took a look are your pictures on pintrist. I think my problem is this: How is it possible that a CD can play when all the wires from the CD player - those red and blue ones, the left and right speaker channels are all tied into an audio plug with no ipod attached to it? Thanks
Hmm after looking at it for 3.5 hours I think I get it...Just one question though...If for whatever reason I did not want my CD player anymore, could I just leave the two wires that are going into the CD player unconnected?
This is great and worked awesome! However, is there any way that you know of to reduce static, buzzing when charging your phone through the cigarette lighter USB adapter at the same time the aux is plugged in?
I know that this is 3 years ago, but if you use a shielded 4 conductor cable to go from the radio to the jack, and use a shielded jack or enclose the jack in a shielded box, it will eliminate noise.
Tater79bj yes you mit have over heated the switch and messed it up. On the cd sound not working on both sides make sure that your wires comming from the cd player are soldered good, and look closely make sure you don't put the wire out of the cd player when you were string of the sheathing. Let me know how you make out.
Thanks Bob I've got the switch and wire ready but My 99 Siverado has a yellow plug in the board with only 8 wires. Black red green yellow white white white black Any idea which two to use for the aux port Thanks again
Wondering is there a way to make this work on the AUX input line on the OEM GM Delco radio i have the same unit in your video and the cassette player down below the HVAC controls. Any thoughts??
Yes it can you just need to find out what wire go to the left and right specks out. NOT IN must be line out to the specks. If you happen to pick the wrong wire like going in it will not mess anything up you will just get feedback.
@@thunderbirdbob1 Cool I got it to work using the 11th and 12th wire from the left side of the white wiring harness. Thanks for your video it was the best quality and easy to understand. The other vids I watched were helpful but much harder to understand. I guess my audio is coming from the FM tuner. It sounds pretty good but the Cd player still sounds much better. It's a camping truck so good enough for now.
I just did a similar mod although mine was easier because I have an auxiliary CD changer so I just spliced into those input wires. Only problem is there is so much g*ddamn ignition hum that it's no fun to use. Any suggestions for getting rid of ignition hum?
yes you need to put a filter in it that removes the noise check out this video gives you a idea ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jbv9PUC0xPk.html
I know this has been online a long time but I just looked for/found it, and am wondering: do you have to have an actual CD running in the player for this hack to work?
great vid. i did this on my 2000 Sierra, but everytime i put in a CD, it says ERR and spits it out. Wint play CD or AUX. Any ideas? Should i maybe try cleaning the lens on the CD player? Thx
did you happen to cross the wires when putting the switch in? the only thing I can suggest is to take the switch back out temporarily put it back original and try it and see if you still had that same problem if you do it's not the switch. if you don't have a air message then retrace your steps on wiring that switch back in.
Ok, so i figured out the ERR code. I pulled the radio fuse under hood and now it excepts and plays the cd just fine! But i cant get music from my phone to play on the trucks stereo. I used #1 pin for left, #3 pin for right, and used the cage asthe chassis ground. All 3 wires check out well with multumeter, just wont switch over from cd to music on my phone. ??
+Bob Hastrich Thank you. I might have to try a new headphone jack then. I have the Galaxy S6 and my headphones have a longer jack on it then the one i used in the truck. Maybe thats the issue im having. Thanks for the help!
I have the same truck with the same setup and I want to put a AUX plug in it. Do you know if theirs a way to do it with the tape deck instead of the CD player
yes you can you need to find the trigger wires that send the sound back to the radio and splice the jack in between. i don't know what color code you need to use.
+Adam Menken well i tryed to find a pinout for you and i couldn't find one. what you can do is remove you cassette player turn your cassette player on in your radio and try to do a pinout yourself. your not going to hurt anything your just trying to find +and- for the right side and the left side. i will still see what i can come up with.
I did the same thing on mine years ago but I used the wires from the tape deck. Now the tape deck from having to run a tape constantly. Is there a way to simulate the tape deck sending the signal so I can keep it wired this way?
its got to be the radio because all the RCA jack dose is turn the signal off from the cd player and turn the signal on from your phone. mybe play a cd and see what happens if it does the same thing its the radio.
Won't work on factory amplified systems, constant CD Error. Wired it exactly as you had it and even reversed the signal leads just to make sure while I had a CD in and nothing would play other than radio.
+RFHX2_6.0 did you have the same thing error message? the reason why I ask is my dad has a yokon that i haven't done anything to and his cd player has that error message when he trys to use his cd player. i think it maybe the radio its self. all that little RCA jack dose is turn the sign off from the cd player and turns on the sign through the headphone jack its a manual switch.
+Bob Hastrich yeah all I get is CD error and ejects CD I tried reversing the signal just to be sure but no luck. The CD player works before and after but not during the mod.
+Dustin Acker yes thats what turns the signal on to the radio. the cd player will be running but the RCA jack interrupts that signal and replaces it with whatever you have plugged into it.
no if you have a cassette player you just need to find the sound leads from the cassette player run them inline the same as the cd player and it will work the same.
tre locsta only problem you will only be able to use the RCA'S that jack is a on and of switch. but besides that you just have have the ground, left signal, and right signal. hook the ground to both left and right RCA Jacks and then hook up the the right to the right and the left to the left. it's been so long since I've had done this I don't remember which one is right or left. your only going to be using 3 wires two will not be hooked to anything. just remember that it's not going to work unless thare is a CD in the player.
Jlj98 the only two things that I can think of that happened is #1 the stereo is from a different truck and the the theft has something to do with it or #2 maybe you have a wire in wrong and its back feeding to the radio.
Bob Hastrich i have a 2000 gmc jimmy same stereo just bose components that have nothing to do with the stereo so stereos are the same and i checked over the wiring from this video at least 12 times i also soldered and shrink tubed all connections
Bob Hastrich i just tried 2 other cds and also a blank with no luck but all cds play good i have all speakers working both left and right but after i plug in the aux cable even with nothing hooked up to it and just switch it to the aux jack it says err and ejects the cd after i unplug the aux cable
I can see that those red and blue wires are connected to 2 ports at the front of the radio, behind the face. I checked your pinterest but I'm still unsure about the exact location of where those should go. Is there a chance you might provide a more detailed/closer shot of where to put those two?
Thanks. If I remember right I somehow used the wires from the onstar. I will dig into it again. I am tempted just to replace the entire unit with a double din unit.
