I am having trouble with an aux adapter I bought on ebay... I have an 04 SS with base stereo (cd and cassette) and bose 6 speaker system. I bought the PAC brand adapter as described here

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...N:IT&ih=008

 

I installed the way I thought it should be.

I pulled the unit and spliced the power into the pink b3 wire as indicated in the instructions

I put the brown ground wire on a piece of metal in the back.

I pulled the 12 pin plug out of the head unit and plugged it into the adapter.

I plugged the adapter into the stereo.

I plugged in the 3-position switch and tried each position.

I hooked up my mp3 player via stereo mini to RCA.

 

I could not make anything happen. On my head unit, I have a BAND button and a TAPE/DISK button. I tried pressing those buttons, double/triple/etc pressing them, holding them, etc. Nothing. Is my head unit even compatible? How would I normally select the AUX input if the adapter was working? I am wondering if my stereo supports the AUX input.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Gordon

did you plug in the 3 position switch that switches the rca's on? if so flip the switch on.

 

Oh yeah... I did this. I edited my steps above to indicate this. I tried both the switch in each position and I tried using input1 and input2 with two different stereo mini to RCA cables.

 

Should this work on my stereo? How can I tell if my stereo is RDS/Class II? How would I select the AUX input if it was installed and working properly? Sorry for all the questions.

blah...

 

after researching this... apparently the aai-gm12 requires factory XM, rear seat dvd, or aftermarket CD changer. I was under the impression that it required the capability. Not the actual unit. I found a used AAI-GM24. This should work.

 

Thanks for the help!

I have a 04 Silverado and 06 Trailblazer, both are NOT a SS. But I would like to know the cheapest way to add a aux input to the radio with out modifying the vehicle. Why is it not as simple as buying a cd changer adapter and splicing into the audio inputs. I've read that this won't work because the radio needs to detect the signal from the cd changer? Is this accurate.....?
