OK, here is one for the old timers: Got a 02 yukon with cassette deck. Works just fine. I want to hook up my daughter's ipod so she can hear some tunes on trips. Standard Delco CD radio unit otherwise, NO Aux input. In older cars, Used a cassette adapter that you put into the tape player, that had a miniplug that you can can stick into the iPod or whatever and play through the cassette deck. Works well. This adapter will not work in the Yukon player because the player has a "broken tape detector" that ejects the cassette if it thinks it has broken tape. Well, there is no tape to run over the "sensor" in this adapter, so it keeps getting ejected. Regular tapes (yes, still have some) work fine still. Any suggestions on how to bypass this feature? I don't want to spend money on this rig getting a new head unit. Thanks for any suggestions. Sorry for the long post.

You can pick up an FM transmitter for around $20 at radio shack.

PAC makes an AUX input adapter that you plug into the rear of the radio where the cassette deck plug into, and then plug the cassette deck harness into the adapter. I used to have one, I sold it to a member on here after I replaced my stock radio.

Yeah, I bought the pac unit from Scotty last year or so and it works perfect!! Way better than the FM Modulators, let me see if I can find the model number for it!!

Found it, it's the PAC AAI-GM9, it has 2 RCA inputs that you can hook up to other sources so I'm running my ipod hookup on it and my DVD system to the other source!! Sounds just like a cd compared to the FM modulator that had the radio sound quality!! Highly recommended for our year of trucks, plus it works with both the Bose systems as well as the others!!

I got am iPod adapter for the factory stereo at Best Buy. Plugs into the back of the radio (where the tape deck plugs in). About $175 IIRC. They had it on the shelf. I ran the cable into the console. Works good.
