05nali's HOW TO Ipod/AUX hookup for 03+ XM equipped trucks

[Travieso]

BUMP im about to do this mod, or i should say collecting parts to do this, what Stereo Socket Connector do you guys recommend ?

 

[Travieso]

Well guys here it is, i ended up doing things a little different since i didnt have a soldering gun and didnt feel like messing with loose 3.5 Stereo Adapter or drilling anywhere to adapt this 3.5 jack, the outcome came out good when not in use i simple put the auxiliary cable in the glove compartment here are a few pictures







and connected to my Tablet

Looks like I bought a mono plug from radio shack. I have purchased the correct plug locally and will resolder the lead wires on.

Great success using a stereo jack instead of a mono one.

I just tried this this evening was able to tap the wires just fine ground to "Lower black/white" and then the other two were tapped at Brown/white and Green/white at the xm harness behind the glove box and I get nothing. It doesn't even cut out Xm when i plug a jack into the port. double checked my wiring and since i used the same plug in the OP's post. I'll have to check it again tmw maybe re tap it or something, it just doesn't make sense.

So i got thinking about it, since i don't really care about that switch can i just use:

Yeah if you want to waste $43 for what can be done for free.

If you hear Xm radio, turn the dial counter-clockwise on the selector knob to get to XM RADIO ID# This is the only XM channel with no existing XM audio. BAsically this mod taps into this "quiet" channel and ports the audio through.

If you still don't have audio from your phone/device make sure the volume is up on the phone/device as well.

Otherwise, you did something wrong.

So, bringing this back...

I have XM but will not be renewing my subscription. Will this mod still work if I tap into the XM wires as recommended and then cut them to remove the XM box?

How has this mod held up? Can it be used with Premium Bose stock head unit? What gauge is the wire so I can oreder the correct size T-Tap?

You have to leave the box or you will get errors but you don't need a current subscription to make it work.
