Aux jack- silverado head unit. (Car Audio)

[Chad4000]

Hey folks, figured i might as well try you guys and see if anybody has done this. I've googled a bunch and just got off the phone with car toys, but nothing really seems like it will work as easy as I imagine it will lol

K so I have a 2000 chevy Silverado with the stock delco head unit. What I want to do is install an Auxiliary jack so that I can run the phone music though the truck. Seems like this should be a relatively easy process. Maybe there is a kit or something that I somehow missed while googling? Or maybe there is a similiar make/model/year stock head unit that does come with the input jack and I could swap the whole thing out relatively cheap? (like junk yard).

I dont really want to go with a new head unit, but it might end up being the cheapest. soooo any recommendations on that? Features bennys etc? Anybody do this sorta thing on the side and wanna earn some cash?

Thank you!

New head unit will cost you as little as $100. Spend the money and put in a new one.

Part of my issue is that i hate the way new ones look compared to the fit and finish of replacement car toys units ya know?

$10 for a aux cord on a tape. Worked great for my '05 Silverado for many years!

My daughter uses a cassette tape shaped adapter that goes in the cassette slot. $9.99 at Walmart and good to go.

seems like a diy job if you can solder .

To my knowledge there weren't any GM vehicles with Aux inputs that year. The simplest two options would be the tape deck adapter (best sound) or FM transmitter (sound can be full of static).

Not sure about 2000s but at one point I looked at this for my 05. Supposedly there was a kit that plugged into the back where the tape would plug inyo the back. You would loose tape but gain an mp3 input. Not sure if those kits are around. I just left mine as is in the end as the cd quit and tapes the only other thing working. Wait, why are you laughing?

yeah I was thinking about that too.. I don't have the cassette but the FM could work.
