I need some information on how to hookup a ipod or add aux line to my 07 GMC Sierra's factory stereo. I just have the basic one-cd player with RDS and no XM or onstar system.

 

please help with product information or how to do it at low cost.

Guys, from reading these posts and doing some digging. The USA Spec unit is one of the better ones.

And these guys OEM Auto Sound have a good price.

I like this unit because it comes with all the wires and no cutting and tieing into other stuff... just plug and go!

Do a search on here for iPod adapters.

Mjager, Canadian Tire sells one like it, but the cables are extra and you have to cut into something to get a power source. Futureshop has them as well... same deal... cuttting. But OEM said they would ship to me for 12.00 and the unit is 129.00 + exchange... still works out better then buying it up here.

At least in my area, Best Buy has the Peripheral Electronics iPod and/or aux-in adapters in stock. Tip: Make sure the wire you tap has constant power - I spent a while chasing issues before I gave up and pulled out my volt meter.

I have an 06 Silverado LT CCab with Bose and I just ordered this item from www.frys.com

 

http://shop2.outpost.com/product/4650188?s...CH:MAIN_RSLT_PG for $99.00

 

This one does not show playlist info on radio display but does play Ipod in place of 6 disc CD changer. I have transferred all my CD's to Ipod anyway so losing the 6 disc is not a big deal to me.

 

I plan to put it in this weekend. Does anyone know on on 06 how to get the radio out so I can get access to the back harnesses and locate the Ipod control unit. And does anyone know which wire in the main radio harness will be 12V constant?

 

Thanks.

That's the same unit I can get up here, but I don't like the tieing into other stuff to get power.

You don't loss your 6 disk if it is an in dash Bose. When they say CD changer, they mean a remote CD. That unit plugs in the back same as the USA Spec and you use the CD/AUX button to control it. Really all you are doing with this is add a Remote CD Changer, but the changer is the iPod.

I just purchased 2 of the Iconnect from JP Customs

One for the 04 Tahoe and one for an 04 Caddy Escalade

 

The installation took about 3 minutes (Extremely Simple) sound is much better than the FM Modulated devices

If you want to use your XM input (which your radio does support) the dice electronics interface works the best

it gives you text and the ability to use your ipod as an ipod still.

So, if you get it you can still use the 6 disk???

 

That would be perfect, so the CD/Aux button would change between the two functions?

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
