Ipod hookup for 07 GMC Sierra Classic

[myazzie]

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?
