Do you sell these? If so where and how much? I mean the whole radio with the aux jack installed. |

I know it is a year late, but if you are still interested in the aux port, then here is the info you wanted. The wires coming from the spot I circled in your photo are the ones you want to tap into. They will allow you to take over the channel your cassette player is on. You will still need to put in a dummy tape to make the whole thing work. Cut the cord off of your old cassette adapter and use it as your blank tape. You can just leave it in the deck and switch to FM or tape (which is now mp3) with the front panel buttons. That way you can stay plugged into the jack, or just stop playing tapes, cut your wires away from the tape deck, solder an audio cable straight to the two wires heading to the board and have the male parts of your cable hanging out in your car for easy access. Ground your negative wires on the board anyplace there is a mounting screw, or anyplace on the board that is connected to a mounting screw, or anywhere on the case of the head unit that is metal. I was messing with one last night. Different model but same wire config and it works great. Now I want to figure out how to short cut the tape deck all together.

Everyone, its been a while since my last login here. Talked to a few of you over the past years, checking my inbox and responding to everyone regardless of the age of the message later on. Thanks for liking the write up! Sorry about the long time absentee status I have taken on! -CM

CM, it looks like another year has gone by since you've posted. Never would have considered installing a factory radio in the currently vacant radio-hole in my dash until I read this. Nice work. Hoping there might be a similar option for us pre 95ers. |

On the first page of the post, he used a 1993-1997 Stock AM/FM Delco. Don't know what year you need, but it is the same radio that came with mine originally. |

If I had the time I would go hoarding the stock radios and do this to them, then flip them to Metro owners as a cheaper alternative to a new deck. |

OK, so I was up until past 4 AM last night working on my radio... I just didn't want to quit until it was done! Not to mention, I had to repair a wire coming from the dimmer switch that a previous owner decided to snip. I followed CookieMonster's guide (linked below), and got great results. I now have an 1/8" aux jack in the face of my stock, dimmable radio (between the tone and fade knobs). The hardest part was cutting out a portion of the circuit board to make the jack fit, as this entailed soldering several wire leads on to complete circuits that were cut off. Lots of soldering involved! It sure was a son of a gun, but well worth it! I wasn't looking foreward to all of the time consuming work, but I really wanted that aux. port. With CookieMonster's apparent abscence, I don't know of anyone else on this forum that will mod these jacks into stock radios. I feel that it wouldn't be very hard to do some more of them, so I would seriously consider adding these jacks to people's stock radios if anyone was interested. http://geometroforum.com/topic/4595715/2/#new ![]() ![]()
