2003 tahoe aux/bluetooth

[03 tahoe kid]

2003 tahoe with stock radio 6 disc changer, amfm, on star, and bose system. Wanted to add a aux or do bluetooth. I burn cds already but it's just kind of a pain the ass. Was wondering if anyone knows a way to wire in a aux and or bluetooth? Thanks

I don't believe that you will have an easy time accomplishing your objective with your current head unit. Virtually all new head units have that capabilities that you are looking for.

Your best bet is to establish a budget for a new head unit, and then go to Crutchfield.com and look at what is available in your budget range. There will also be an adapter (extra cost, but totally worth it) that you can also buy from Crutchfield, so that you can install the new head unit without cutting and soldering individual wires.

Yeah I've looked at a new headunit and doing a module to retain the chime and steering wheels controls, but I saw some people were able to do it with the xm radio feature, mine does not have that. But I was wondering if I could wire in a switch that allows me to have the aux hooked in with the cd input. So when on cd I can play cd or aux. If that's even possible

They're expensive now, but I have one of these that lets me use steering wheel controls and it also displays artist/track info.

Damn yeah they are expensive. At that rate I might aswell just do a new headunit and module. I'm just trying to spend the least honestly, I wouldn't be worried so much about wiring it. So it seems my only options are new headunit or do one of those. I was thinking I could somehow tap into the cd mode for the aux and just have a 2 way switch so that when the radios on cd I can play cd or flip the switch and run aux, I just don't have a wiring diagram for this radio. Nor does the cd have any plugs as it is built in with the radio.

There’s a thread on here and other forums about adding an aux on the cheap. You could plug a Bluetooth module into that.

Most links are pointing to the chevyavalanche forum and is dead.

I didn’t watch it but might work:

Factory Bose touchscreen aux in mod?

Anyone know if there is away to add an aux line in to the factory touch screen radio in an 03 Tahoe LT? Not a fan of FM transmitters but I like the factory radio
