Hi


That was an original radio


and that was look after



I made a video but I was record it by my phone and it is very poor quality (darknesses)

As I wrote before if someone will be interested to built it - I can help

 

Why not just buy one that's been modified already?

The first thing is differences between 7$ for this module and 195$ for that complete radio is quite big. The second thing is that if buy radio from ebay you don`t have thirdgen looking radio anymore. The third thing is you must have external mp3 player, with this radio you get only wire minijack and aux socket.

 

If you think that thing will look stock you're kidding yourself. Good luck trying to install it.
Looks like you'll have to cut up the faceplate of your stock radio to get that circuit board in so it will mount flush. The YouTube video sounded terrible. That 4th gen radio looks more stock than that thing is going to look and sound a 100 times better, You get what you pay for.

 

thats your opinion


I`ve already installed it in two cars and works great, what you see on last pic is already assembled


You don`t have to cut anything. I designed front plexi and cut it on laser


Old phone and dark place, I will record it better camera

Why do you think it will work better than this? The 4th gen radio looks like a crap.

 

I think it's cool. I have a background in car audio install and can appreciate your work. If you're looking to keep the stock radio it's certainly one option. My only issue is that there are better resources available such as an istreamer.

 

what is istreamer ? I`m not US citizen so have problems with English, I haven`t use that language for last 11 years

ok, I found what is istreamer

 

it is way expensive and you still need an iPod or iPhone to use it.

 

Very cool!!

 

There`s a better quality movie

 

Very good!

 

I went and picked up a 4th gen radio from a 2001 Camaro that has the CD changer option. I then picked up a GM-AUX9 adapter which as an input for my IPOD. This adapter plugs into the harness behind the radio and uses the CD changer option to run it. So when I want to listen to my ipod, I just switch to the CD changer mode on the radio. The only modifiations that needed to be done were to enlarge the radio faceplate to fit the newer radio which has a slightly larger face, and drill new bolt holes because the ones for the 4th gen stereo aren't in the exact same location. They're hidden though so you don't see them.

 

I built that to not have an external device such an ipod connected via aux. I used that solution for last 9 years.

 

Hi Levy!
Sounds nice!Have you pictures how you make this?

thanks

 

ok I will try to translate it, if something will be not understand - let me know


cut on CNC plexi 2mm of the front window, if someone is interested email me I have file with that window


take off push buttons


take off the top cover



unscrew the tuner PCB



unplug the wire which have plug, the rest wires just cut



glue the holders on back side of front mask (holders come with mp3 module)




cutoff VFD display (in my radio - red wires)

Cool mod!

 

Hi!
Thats cool!
Where did the line outs from the mp3 module goes?
thanks
Martin

 

to the 3rd and 4th cable from the wires that was pluged to the tuner PCB which was disconected, on the last pic you have marked in red circle

 

Hi!

Thanks. From witch side?
Did you only connect left and right?
Where goes the ground from the line out?
thanks

 

you count from front of radio

I connect only left and riight via 1uF capacitor to protect the module

You don`t need to use ground

 

Hi!

Thank you very much.
I also have such a mp3 board, the only problem is that you can´t switch between the folders. So i search for a long time for another sound modul that i can use with this radio.
thanks

 

That is really cool, the only thing that bothers me is to cut through the original faceplate. The red screen is perfect for a Pontiac.

I guess the USB ports could be removed from the PCB and placed somewhere else at the end of some wires. And I could do without the card reader.

Or, seeing how it's made, simply wire the screen and glue it on the back of the original one, and place the rest of the unit wth the buttons and USB/card slots in place of the ashtray for example.

Do you think you could make a clear schematic to explain how you wired it to the original radio ?

 

Hi Raptor!
Martin here from austria!
Sounds that the european guys are here!

Martin

 

Just hold on longer forward or rewind then push twice

 

Hi Martin, I`m from Cracow, Poland. I have a friend who is living in Wien,Austria and he is rebuilding a 87 camaro here in Poland

 

No, you dont have cut anything. The original windowshield can be removed. I draw a new windows shield with holes for USB/SD card in CAD program and cut from plexi by the laser.

USB port can be removed but in car there is a lot of noises from electrical instalation of the car so that could be a problem

What conections are you interested ? Power, Audio, push buttons ?

 

Where can I wire the left and right to a audio jack, I want to plug my phone in via headphone jack but I got nothing when pluging it into the 3rd and 4th wires on the cable circled in red, what do I do I want to be able to use the equilizer?

 

maybe thaht will help

 

Subscribed, I can do this in the spring. Soon!

 

Little update

I`ve just upgrade my version with Bluetooth option

Sorry for pure version

 

Awesome mod! Going to try it for sure!

 

This is a great mod, nice job OP

 

Nice mod. Unfortunately my Delco is different model..... I'm looking for internal diagram of 1994/95 Delco 16179102 / 16166661

 

Hi everyone. I just want to inform you that radio is still working. I made some other modifications for my friends and they are happy with that.

Last time I swaped into LT1 engine and made some modifications to speedometer. I`m using two stepper motors to make it working. Odometer is working also. It is no longer powered mechanical

During the tests


And after crash of transmission I made a little OLED display connected to ALDL connect which show me temperature of transmission

 

That is pretty cool. I would very much like to have a "Driver Information Center" (D.I.C.). My '04 Chevy Crew-cab Diesel dually has one that uses steering wheel controls. It's very useful.

Next revision, original VFD display via I2C protocol

 

Hi,
I'm from poland. I'm interesting to cooperate with You to modify my radio. Please contact to me or share some contact to You.
