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?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
