$3.00 AUX input for GMT-800s

This is more of a link to a how-to rather than my own. It's so simple.

I am doing it now and will update how it goes.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE XM RADIO IN YOUR FACTORY HEAD UNIT, YOU CANNOT DO THIS MOD.

Everyone else, read here:

I am very interested in how this turns out. This would be a great mod for me.

Just got the wires soldered to the jack...now...out to the truck.

Well...it didn't work at first. Why? Because I'm a moron.

I had the wires hooked up wrong. Once I figured out my error, it was fixed...and works so damn well.

Now I can have Pandora in my truck...and that makes me happy.

The pics that follow are just an idea as to how to route the wires an the finished product.

Thanks for bringing this over. Just for future reference, it's not necessary to remove the radio. It looks like it's possible to get to the XM receiver wiring just by dropping the the glovebox door.

No, no...many thanks to you. I found that thread by digging through GM-Trucks. It was your post that contained the link.

And X2 on the glovebox thing...I just didn't want to buy that long of a CAT-5 cable.
