upgrading radio in 2004 Yukon

[jeftec]

I'm hoping I can get some help from you fine forum members. I just recently acquired a 2004 Yukon SLT. Has the factory stereo with cassette and cd. Also have steering wheel controls. Does anybody know if a later model radio that has an MP3 type jack will fit this truck? And will they work with the steering wheel controls. Thanx in advance for any help.

sorry about this, should have spent more time reading down the forum lists. I see there is an area for vintage Yukon's like mine. I'll try there.

But no. You have to stay with a 03-06 radio... different wiring completely.

You can do this though...

They also make wiring kits that create a powered pre amp like this one if you don't want to splice into wires. The preamp will also give you better sound since it boost the signal stregth.

I went with a Kenwood unit in mine. After reading threads here, I got the unit, the wiring adapters, and mount kit all from Crutchfield. The wiring/mount cost damn near what the radio did. But now I have usb and line in plug in the face. More importantly, it has bluetooth. So I get my nice and legal hands free phone calls, even better, it streams the music off my phone. That little feature is the best damn part.

Be aware: the antenna on the gm needs an adapter to fit any non-gm radio.

Hey Jeff,


Here's my audio upgrade thread. You might find some useful information there for your upgrade.

It is a good idea to do as many searches as you can to get an idea of what you want to do and then ask questions from that "base of what you know you want". If you have a budget in mind, that's good information too, because the sky is the limit when it comes to upgrades.
