Hey guys, I recently got a radio out of a junked late 90's chevy lumina and I noticed that there is an AUX button on the face of the radio and an auxiliary plug on the back of it (I'm guessing for a remote tape deck or CD changer). Is it possible to rig up a standard headphone jack to that plug so I can plug in my ipod or something? Thanks!

Thanks! And that just so happens to be the EXACT same radio I got for my car! haha

 

Oooorrr maybe not. I checked my radio and there's a label on there saying it was manufactured in 1995, and the PIE website said that their units are not compatible with 1995-1999 AM/FM/CD radios. I wonder why it won't work. Any other alternatives perhaps?

 

Maybe you can try this

Only drawback is that you need the slave unit (CD player or cassette deck) hooked up and playing for it to work. I've got a slave cassette, but not the cable that goes to it.

It took me a long time in searching to decide on the GM9-AUX that I ended up with. Keep looking, you might find what you need.

 

I was going to tell you to just look into buying a new aftermarket stereo, but after looking at the pics of it installed in the dash I can see why you'd wanna stick with it it blends pretty well.

 

Yeah I like the factory look of the radio I got. And thanks for the link Al, but I'll keep looking for now... I'm not a fan of the requirement of the slave unit. But if worse comes to worst then I might buy a cheaper aftermarket radio that looks somewhat factory, since I've seen a couple of those. I just never really liked the "christmas tree" look that some aftermarket radios give off, especially in thirdgens. I hate to spoil the factory appearance.
