Here's the connector with wires that connects to the back of the USB/aux jack. The cheapest price found is on Amazon for $88. The connector is ACDelco # PT2278.

Hmmm, looks like a soldering iron's in your future... :)

In a nutshell, I'm ordering the factory USB/aux port module in black, 25832461. I will try to find the four connections per the diagram that Walt showed along with some tweaking to see if I can get it to work. If so, I will solder the 3.5mm wire, 42-3546, to the aux port and connect the 3.5mm terminal to the medialink. I will use the USB A to mini B to connect the USB module to the medialink. If all goes well, that module will be in place of the 12v and 3.5mm passthrough that NCSierra posted in the original post.

 

Thanks NCSierra!

I don't plan on playing videos from my iPod often but this is the solution I devised to allow me to use it when needed:

 

My plan for the time being will be to install the new iPod module in one of the following locations:

 

Upper glove box

Small cubby to the right of the radio

Ashtray

 

(I don't have the unit yet so I haven't fitted anything up yet)

 

I bought a USB adaptor that goes from female mini to male-A. This will plug into the male USB mini that comes from, the factory port and from there I bought an extension that is female-A to male-A. This will plug into the new interface module wherever it ends up. This way I will be able to use my factory port 99% of the time to charge my iPhone or to play music from it. If I want to play a movie off the unit, I simply unplug my adaptor plug from the interface module, plug in the video cable and enjoy a movie.

 

If it works out as I imagine it will, I'll get some photos.

Better check the ashtray size, my ipod did not fit cleanly

 

 

The ashtray would just be to hold the interface module- the iPod could be in a cupholder or whatever. Movies are an extremely low priority on my list of objectives so my goal is to maintain a factory-like functionality of the USB port I already have but still be able to watch a movie or whatever if the need/desire arises.

It looks like the black part I received only has an AUX port. No USB. The parts guy is investigating because it looks like the only part GM is making with both the USB and AUX is in white. He agrees that should not be the case.

just wondering....but if its in the glovebox, why does it matter whether or not you have white vs black?

White doesn't look like it came from the factory.

 

This part is only 3 component so it won't work as-is. I've got a few ideas I'm working on to make it work and will report back when I've got something.

A quick update. I now have the module painted black, wired and ready to install in the upper glove box. I have taken a few pictures of the module and how I ended up wiring it so I will post those when it's complete. I admit it's taking quite a bit of tweaking to get this to work but it should look completely factory when done. The tweaking has involved paint, soldering and judicious use of a dremel and drill.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
