Well in lite of my slacking off, I can do a half ass write up on here and will add pics later. Lol.

----------for aux input with the Bose system and DVD player, no aftermarket hu required---------
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU MESS YOU VEHICLE UP

I started messing with getting an ipod to play in vehicles since I had one lol, but every one of my other vehicle alwaysnhad an aftermarket deck, so it was easy, but when I looked into getting one for the kon I was not interested in paying upwards of a grand for a decent one and all my harnesses, when I already have my subs rigged up to work with my deck now(another write up I can do if necessary) . But anyways , the DVD player I remember using as a kid when my family had a Denali, and thought I could play my iPod through it, so I just got a 3.5 mini jack (audio) to RCA, and plugged it into the DVD player and voila, it worked, but I had a big ugly cable hanging down. Now to the install part. So, if you pull the DVD player out, there are four bolts securing it to the roof. The front two are easy to get to , just pull the screen down and undue them, then for the back two, you pull down a little plate, and the the other two are there, take those out and very carefully try and jimmy your DVD player out of the roof ( there are two harpoon clips holding it there, I just cut mine but you can get it out if you have patience , muahahah) once you get the unit down, unplug the one harness that goes to the roof, the other one is contained in the unit itself, so don't worry about that one. Pull the DVD player out of the way and you can begin running your wires. Next step is to pull the pillar behind the drivers door separating the front and rear seat away from the side of the door, all the way down to the floor, and remove it.they are just quick clips so pull firmly, but be gentle. Then run the side of the RCA cable that will plug into your iPod, mp3 player or whatever, across to where you just pulled the pillar away until you can pull it through(there is no easy way to do this. So have some patience, I've just quit smoking and I managed to do it lol. Run the cable THROUGH THE METAL PORTION OF THE PILLAR, THROUGH THE HOLES other wise the plastic cover will not fit back on, run it all the way to the floor and make sure there is little or no slack in the cable. You can now reinstall the DVD player . Plug the cables into the auxiliary port on the front of the unit and plug the harness back in, place everything back up and try to hide the cable as much as you can, but leaving some slack in the cable just in case you need to rearrange the wires in the future. Now if the cable running down the pillar has enough slack that the end is poking out the bottom, you can reinstall the pillar cover( I say to have enough slack just to get to the bottom cuz staples sells an extension if you don't have enough to get it where you need to go) almost done, so now run the cable under your floor mat in the back seat up to the bottom of the center console. Now you have to rip apart the center console, there are 4 or 5 Phillips screws right on the top after you open the console, take those out and then take the rubber mat out of the bottom of it , and take those screws out , close the lid and pull it out and you should see a nice open area , run the 3.5 cable under the console and pull it up through, then pop your cup holders out, feed the cable to the cup holders, keeping out of the way of the amp, and where the console will go back in. Then cut a hole big enough for the cable to fit through the cupholder , then poke a small hole though the rubber mat and force the cable though that, and be sure that the holes line up , and that the hole in the rubber mat is small enough to fit just snug around the cable. Put the cup holder back in, then reinstall the cupholder, then the console, make sure everything looks good. Then to get it to work, plug in your iPod to the cable you've just run, turn the truck on, turn the DVD player on and click SRCE on the DVD PLAYER . Then cycle through the sources on the deck till you get to RSE (rear seat entertainment) , click play on your iPod , and enjoy!!! Don't forget to crank that Bose !!! Any questions, post on here and I'll answer as soon as I can !

Apart from an fm transmitter I don't know of any. You might be able together a wiring diagram and manually splice into it if you know what you are doing... Lol
