Need beta testers for a bluetooth adapter for 2002-2006 GM Trucks. You can keep it when we're done!

[clarkb]

I created a prototype bluetooth adapter the integrates with the factory head unit of certain GMC trucks/SUVs 2002-2006. It was designed as a drop-in replacement for the accessory 6-cd changer in the lower dash found in many of these trucks, like my 2003 Yukon XL Denali. The steering wheel and head-unit controls can be used for selecting next/previous track, etc, and it displays the current song and artist. I want to see it if will work in other vehicles that have the same head unit, but don't have the 6-cd changer. If you have a setup like this, and want to give it a try, please reach out (reply here, send a pm, or use my gmail: clarkbremer). You'll need to pull the dashboard trim to get at the back of the head unit to plug it in. Like I said - if it all works out, I'll let you keep it when we're done testing!

I would be interested in trying it out and letting you know how it works.

what info do you need?

Any chance of this working with the factory nav setup? I have an 06 denali, currently using an old iSimple gateway box with a bluetooth adapter. While it works for music, it doesn't show track titles or artist info which would be nice to be able to see

No, it only works with the head units compatible with the 6-Cd changer.

Do you have the head unit with the single-cd slot? And the empty lower console slot as shown in the picture?

What head unit do you have? Does it have a single CD, or a 6-cd changer? Post a pic if you're not sure.

 

[jwth]

it has a single cd slot and holds multiple cd's
similar to the pic but without the tape deck slot

Sorry, that head unit is not compatible.

I have a 2002 Yukon XL 1500 with a single CD unit but no tape in the deck and the tape slot in the upper empty slot you are showing.

Looks like this: Yukon XL Dash

I would like to test it for you

Which head unit do you have? Can you post a picture?

My truck is a 2006 Yukon Denali, which does in fact have the 6 disc cd changer, just like your 2003 Denali XL. Is the issue that I have the factory touch screen then? I would love to be able to test to determine compatibility with the factory touch screen navigation system

Roll Tide!

 

[bibletoter]

I have that exact radio (and empty cubby) in my '04 Tahoe and would love to try out your BT adapter!

 

[jconde]

I've got a 2005 Yukon Denali with the Nav/Radio touch screen and the 6 disk changer down lower.

I never use the changer, and have been planning on replacing the head unit, mainly to get blue tooth so I can stream from my phone.

I'd be willing to test your contraption if this is a setup you can work with.

 

[BatsTDK]

I'd be interested to test it. I have the factory 6-disc changer. I also have both types of factory head units on hand to test with. The regular one with the single CD like in your picture, and the factory navigation unit.

 

[TollKeeper]

No, it only works with the head units compatible with the 6-Cd changer.

The factory nav units that are TNR also can control a factory 6 CD unit. (TNR = Touchscreen)

I am not sure about the INR, most of those are in the scrap bin by now. (INR = Non-Touchscreen)

INR units can also control the CD changer. That’s how mine originally came.

You still want to try this? I'd be curious if it works with the Nav version also.

Yeah I’m game. Send me a PM and let’s do it!
