99 Suburban - add aux input? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

79Silv4x4 · 05-04-2014, 12:29 PM

I have a 99 Suburban that has the factory AMFM/TAPE head unit and the factory slave CD player. I just want to add a simple aux input to this setup to connect my iPhone to stream iheart radio, pandora, etc. Looking for a low cost solution and I don't need to be able to control or charge the phone, just need to get the tunes from the ipod to the factory unit. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

there is a peice on crutchfeild, but it may require factory xm head unit.

otherwise just get one of those tape input things that goes to the headphone jack

basically you tune it to an off air station... problem in big cities are the high school, college and other low frequency stations... its almost a given in a big city you will get overlap literally from block to block
