Hey all,

 

I've read and searched and read all over this forum (and elsewhere) and haven't been able to find the answer I'm looking for. I apologize in advance if I've missed it and this is old news.

 

I just put a TNR800 (non-lux) in my 04 Silverado (Bose, Onstar, and XM) and it works great; love it. But I'l also like to connect my iPod using a Perifieral Electronics adapter or something like it. My question is, will the TNR recognize it and be able to get to it through the 'cd' button? The TNR doesn't have an 'aux' button (nor did the radio it replaced).

 

Also, the truck did not have an external cd player or changer before or now.

 

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

The higher end ipod interface will connect to the XM connections on your radio!

That's how mine is hooked up and sounds better then if connected to the CD changer connection. Mine comes up as XM1 or XM2, works on both.

Goto this link and find the interface for your radio. There are cheaper ways as most on this site will tell you, but this is the easiest way... plug and play!

Wow, that sure looks like the answer! That's exactly what I'm looking for, I'll give it a try.

 

Thank you very much!

I was thinking about doing the same thing. This maybe a dumb question, but XM will still work correct? I definitely like my XM, but would like to have the option to use an IPod.

Yah it will , you have to do some extra wiring, cut and splice the Data wire from the XM reciver, but the instructions are all there.

I had to use my old FM transmitter yesterday in our work truck... OMG my iPod adapter hook up sounds sooooooo much better!

Well it's time for me to give back. I've been trolling these forums for a month or more gleaning valuable information. Thanks to everyone for their expertise.

 

I had installed my TRN800 a few weeks ago and it has worked wonderfully, but I missed having my ipod tunes available. Saturday, I tore into it to install the VSS wire, and while I had it aparty decided to see what I could do about the ipod. I was going to go with the advised interfaces earlier in this thread, but in the other side of my garage was my corvette with the iSimple ($99 from Best buy) already in it. Since it was installed in the trunk, it'd only take 5 minutes to pull it and try in the Silverado, so decided to give it a try.

 

I unplugged the XM from the radio, plugged the PXHGM3 harness into the radio, then plugged the XM harness back into the PXHGM3. Only hitch was there wasn't enough room to mount the box behind the radio or heater control, so I had to lengthen the wires on the PXHGM3 cable to allow mounting of the box in the console.

 

Bottom line is it works terrifically. I'm very happy with the sound and ability to control the ipod. I wasn't sure the TNR800 'cd' button would bring it up, but it did. The nav unit recognzes it as a cd player and all the buttons (including steering wheel) work. Switching to any of the bands turns the ipod off then back on as they should. The ipod turns off when I leave the car and comes back on when istart it again.

 

Anyhow, if you're looking for an ipod solution for the tnr800, I can vouch this one works and works well!

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      This landing is worse than most. Patchy blacktop with washouts, soft gravel/sand at bottom that washes out with every heavy rain. I tell everyone to put it in 4WD. A lot of them think they can pull out their trailer in 2WD. They end up digging a hole and then putting it in 4WD.  The lake is a pristine lake and has a lot of money on it. There are several wake boats and lot of large tritoons. The people with the money don't want it improved because they don't want more traffic.    Boat Landing 1.jfif Boat Landing 2.jfif Boat Landing 3.jfif
