Default Modded radio

I just received my modded Delco radio with the aux input - http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-CORVETTE...073d0&vxp=mtr/ it looks great and the front buttons, etc are nicer than what's coming out. Ordered another cradle/power/ant setup for my Sirius starmate and hope to be listening to college football soon. Will post pics once I get the mounting figured out - I hope to use the ashtray area. The radio lives now in my 4runner where its attached to the console with Velcro and while not as nice a mounting as I'd like it works just fine....

I considered it too but opted to buy a factory Cd player for half the price when I returned my radio back to stock look. I have not added the jack yet.

There are writeups on how to do this yourself. You paid an extra $150 to get $3 part installed. Nice mod though. It's worth it if you are not electronically inclined.

As long as you like it, I would have an issue paying 300 bucks for a plug that won't even charge the unit, I would of checked out Pac-Audio for an interface that would charge the unit for 1/3rd the price, You might look into the ProClip mounting system, It in a nice unit in my opinion.
It does look like they did good work.

Do you have the 12-disk cd changer in the middle covered cargo area in your car?
