RE: Stereo Wiring and Install Parts
 
To twogemini,

Look on p. 6:

You need this inverter/FM transmitter to play your mp3 in the car.

Pokie,

I can't help you,hope someone else knows. I've herad of theScosche stuff but never used them.

I was wondering if any readers have used PAC GM21A or Soundgate LOCB.4 to set up a feed to additional amps for subwoofers in their Blazer/Jimmy with Delco Bose premium sound system. I don't want to use a cheap hi to lo LOC.

RE: Stereo Wiring and Install Parts
 
Along this same question, I have a similar question. I have a 99 4-door with the 6 speaker stereo system. When I first got the truck, I thought about putting in an aftermarket head unit, but was told by someone thatit can't be done because the security system and ECM are connected to the radio in such a way that if I replace it...certain other things in the truck won't work (I think the dome lights or something like that was an example given to me).

1) Is this true?

2) If I DO still want to put in an aftermarket unit, most of them have 4 channels...but since I love the way the 6 speakers sound, do I have to wire an aftermarket unit differently in order to have it play on ALL 6 of the factory speakers?

I USED to be decent at changing out stereos, but these newer models (if 1999 can even be considered newer) make things so complicated. I miss my 94 Blazer...plug adapter, dash adapter, antenna adapter...DONE.

thanks a lot for the help.

...i was told the same thing by the guy at best buy who sold me the sony GT420U head unit for my '05 - althought he said it was on 02's and newer - all the warning chimes work throught the factory stereo

he told me he could sell me the door chime module for $90, when I rolled my eyes he sent me down the street to Walmart, they have the Scoche brand GM door chime module for only $30 - lucky the Best Buy guys don't work on commision.

wasn't a big deal to install after that.

If you hook up both your dash and door speakers in parallel to your front channel you likely won't have a problem. Assuming they're both 4ohm speakers you'll still have 2 ohms of net resistance.
the alternative would be to pick up a separate amp for one set of speakers.


...I miss the early 90's too, the last install I did was on my '93 Ranger 4x4 - a lot less research required in those days. That was before the wife and kids too, so free time for this type of thing was a lot more abundant.

hey guys :)
anyone done any wiring to get an external audio source (ipod etc) to hook up to the stock stereo? i'm thinking of installing a 1/8" jack in the console box for my ipod. It would be nice to know which wires in the harness the audio should go into?

anyone ?? anyone ??

Hi. I have a question I can't find an answer to. I have a 2000 Blazer with audio controls on the steering wheel. When I changed my cd player they no longer worked. Is there a way I can get them to work or are they now dead to me? I liked having them because I could use them without looking away from the road.
thanks in advance.

Partially depends on what brand radio you have. It is pretty easy to hook up, takes a little time though.

Thanks hillbillyinOhio. I didn't even know what to search for. I think i'll hold off for a while though. Pretty expensive just to use the steering conrols.
