iPod Hook up installation

[JochenWoern]

Anyone find the thread for HOW TO INSTALL an iPod connection on an NBS Truck. I have seen if but can not find it.

Thanks in advance.

Using what components? Are you needing disassembly instructions?

+1 on some more info J.....

I am using a USASPEC ipod factory integration kit. Works great. Easy install. It works off of one of your XM bands(I am not using XM so no biggie there). It comes with wiring harness(s) that go between your existing radio plugs. Shoot me a PM if you want....

I am curious to know what it takes in order to simply plug an ipod into the system, so one can play the ipod tunes through the truck stereo system.

Do you have an aux. plug? Stock radio?

Stock Radio with BOSE system as it came from the factory.

I believe you would need to put in an adapter.

 

[CEN2MENTAL95]

yes you would need an adapter that works off the RCA inputs in the back or a custom plug of some sort.

OR you can use a nice cassette adapter like I did (until I changed to a kenwood HU)

That's what i am looking for, ............... I saw a thread once where it exactly explained as to HOW TO get that Adapter installed.

Found this might see if it something you could do.

Here is the one I am using:

With our older radios that don't have an ipod jack-this route gives you great quality sound. Basically this system has 'jumpers' that go between your factory connections.

Remove the dash surround
Pull out the radio
Unplug the 2 conections to the radio
Plug those into the supplied jumpers
Plug jumper ends into radio
Plug wire into the convertor box.
Out of that box you have an ipod wire that plugs into the base of your ipod. I have my 'box" right behind the molding on the passenger side(by where your left foot would be).

After installing it-all you have to do is plug your ipod in to the cable-tune to XM and you are rockin' out

I know its sounds complicated.....but it is really very easy. Like I said shoot me a PM if have any ???'s or need any pics.

How much was that interface? And would you mind PMing me some pics? Appreciate it!

I picked up a used one on ebay for like $50 since I left the same one in my previous GM vehicle as a condition of the sale. I think I paid around $125 new. Found some on ebay---here is one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-U...250?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f156efa6a

Shoot me a PM with the pics you are looking for-I don't have any but I could take a few. I'm just not going to pull the radio out to take pics-I can take a shot of how I have the ipod cable sitting and where I put the 'box'. I think their website has a PDF for wiring instructions as well. Let me know.

Here is a little write up I did for mine. If you have XM this is a super easy install. If you are just going to use an ipod you wouldn't need to put in the Aux input. I got it from ipodcarpros.com
