BACKGROUND: when using my "truckputer" when driving a distance, my fm transmitter would fade in and out and i would get interference and have to adjust fm frequencies to compensate for different local radio stations. i also want to keep the factory radio because i like my steering wheel controls. This is a problem because the factory radio has on AUX inputs
SOLUTION: wire a aux input into factory radio
WHY BUILD IT: because i can and 20 minutes +under 10$=80$-150$ part
**the starting point of this DIY is assuming that you have the radio all ready out of the dash and sitting in front of you**
***I take no responsibility’s of ANYTHING you do to your truck/ do this at your own risk***
Lets get started.
this is the radio I preformed the mod to its the OEM unit from my 04 Silverado rcsb. the part number and other identifiers are in the pics
we'll start by flipping the radio over to the bottom (cd drive facing down) and using a flat blade screw driver to gently pry along the perimeter of the bottom plate until you can lift the back (back=by radio connections from truck) in the direction of the face plate and then remove it
then we remove the 4 screws that hold in the tape deck
