Some garbage has got to go!

[Jeff Groves]

So I have a cassette player but no tapes as everything is CD now.
I'll take it out and add USB charger ports.

I don't need no stinking OnStar!
Researching dumping that and maybe try to keep the buttons but wire them for something else.
Like maybe a bright flashing red light in the back seat to shut up back seat drivers?
(Wife nixed the idea of a stun gun hook up)

Over head buttons for garage door and such. I don't even have a garage let alone a garage door!
So 3 more buttons to contemplate doing something with.

I like the stun gun hookup . Handy when you have kids--or grand kids.

to be honest I don’t remember when I bought or played a CD, carplay all the way

 

[Jeff Groves]

On the Remote garage door buttons...........
I'm wondering IF I could somehow over ride the rear air shocks so when you hit the down button it dumps air. Hit the up button it pumps up.
Would be a hoot to do that. Use the little house button to turn those switches on and off or some other evil purpose.

I didn't even know what car play was.
Thanks for very probably causing me to up grade the stereo system.

Now was, “is” lol

Danged young whipper snappers! LOL

 

[Doubeleive]

it's wireless car play now

 

[Doubeleive]

you may be in luck on most of those buttons, the nnbs systems are pretty much entirely serial data bus driven so doing things like that presents much more of a challenge.

 

[Jeff Groves]

I do have a nice automatic door opener or 2 I took out of a demolition job.
I may look at them and hook one up to the hood then use those garage door up/down buttons for it.
Years ago I had a Camaro that I used an old convertable top setup to open and close the trunk where the duel N20 tanks were.

LOL I'm still spending money on them. I've got 2 towers, a total storage of 1224 CDs, coming in the mail right now. They're towers number 4 and 5.

Thank God for Amazon and Discogs.

I'm so old fashion that when I heard about IPads I asked the Wife if she used them.

I can't remember the manufacturer, but there is an " On Star " swap. A box that you plug into the OnStar hook up and you use the complete OnStar system as a personal cell phone use independent of the cost of OnStar. And all the factory-installed components & buttons you use, but no OnStar rip-off cost. It's now free.

Interesting.

Interesting.

I bookmarked it.... I already think it is a ($250.00) cool gadget. You use all OnStar buttons.

I'll check tomorrow & post it.

 

[Jeff Groves]

If you are talking about BlueStar, I can't use it.

 

[mountie]

If you are talking about BlueStar, I can't use it.

If you have a good working BlueStar system, this 'ad-on' box allows you to use the system independent of BlueStar, using it for free. As a bluetooth for your cell only.

They say on their website for 2003 and up. My Hoe is a 2001

I’m still trying to find a place to plug in my Jim Croce 8 track tape
