I need the pinout for the tape deck. I plan to unplug the tape deck and make a custom bluetooth interface board. I need to know what the various lines in the wiring harness to the tape deck.

I am hacking together a Bluetooth board from USB phone charger and 5V bluetooth trainer board off ebay. Then I'll use On-star mic for microphone :) Makes it so all I need to do is jumper into the existing harnesses.

The idea is to use the control lines for the tape deck to:

1 - Power the Bluetooth module
2 - fast forward - next song
3 - rewind - previous song
4 - play - play

What year are you doing this for? I believe tape players were only in 2000-2002 vehicles and they were integrated into the radio. Not sure if this will help, but this is the only audio system diagram the Haynes manual has.

Did you have luck with this? I had essentially the same project idea

Controlling a USB stick may be a better use?
