My 2003 AM-FM CD player has AUX on the face, WHERE ?

Post by trackvw »

Hi

I have a 2003 with factory AM-FM CD player ,

on the front it says AUX , hopefully that means there is somewhere to plug my MP3 player into it

So what does the AUX mean and if there is a plug-in where is it ?

and if not what was the last year of factory AM-FM cassette as i can get one of those cassette adapters and plug the MP3 player into that

Thanks for your knowledge

They used the same faceplates for different models. You can add an aux input for about $3 if you aren't afraid of taking your radio apart and soldering in a jack.

is there any website that tells me how to put the plug in ?

and how hard is it to take the radio out ? Is the radio the same as other Chevys of that year?

Thanks

He also has a nice Compatibility list if you want to buy one to practice on from a Junk Yard :)

I posted a howto, cost $3, but lots of radio shacks are going out of business so you can get the jack for half price. I also started to add bluetooth to it as well, just haven't taken it back apart yet to finalize it.

Another question

i see it has "theftlock" on the front

if I buy a used radio at the car swap meet this weekend do I need to worry about this Theftlock ?

or is there a simple hack ?

thanks

There is a simple fix, call an automated 800 number, give them the lock code, it replies with the unlock code.
