How To: Mp3 Disc Changer To A Oem Headunit And With Aux Option

I did not receive a good outcome under the SUV section so now I am posting here

 

As stated on the title... I want to add MP3 capability to my Suburban but I don't want to change the OEM CD player. My truck has the useless tape player which is AUX on the OEM headunit.

 

I searched and I found out that some CD changers come with an FM modulator so it can be used with out wires but I am more inclined towards a direct connection for better sound quality.

 

Im about to buy this Sony CD changer that has its own little remoted screen and has RCA out. I would imaging the AUX-in on the headunit is a DIN and... can it be spliced it to attach RCA from the CD changer?

 

Who has done this?

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

The aftermarket HU usually have a funky lookin connector specifically for an Disk changer. Try looking into the model number and see if says on there "CD changer capable" This way you don't buy something that will not work out for ya. I am willing to bet that the SONY HU will have the connector that you can use. You don;t have to splice any RCA's. Oh crap! IE just crapped on me. BRB.

 

Ok. Sory bout that. The HU usually comes with disk changer input. Just make sure the Disk changer that you get is compatible with your HU.

This weekend I will be pulling the Headunit out to find out what exactly I am facing and to be more informed... I will let you know guys.

Would something like this work?? Plugs right in then connect the RCA cables. oem auto sound

Yes... you are right. That adapter will do the trick but let me explain... since I already have most of the hardware (HU with AUX-in and wires (plug) that goes towards the AUX unit), instead of buying that device, I was actually thinking if it is possible to splice the 9-pin plug that goes towards the cassette player and from there feed it with the MP3 disc changer. I'm sure the 9-pin plug feeds the headunit with at least IN signal for RT/LT, Ground, Positive terminal and perhaps remote on. Do you have the diagram for the colored wires at the 9-pin plug?

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
