88red4cyl Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 I have a factory Delco cd player in my 95 Lumina... I want to be able to hook my mp3 player up into the system so I can listen to it.. I've tried the FM modulator things, and they suck with all the static (maybe it's because the antenna is so far away, I don't know).. Anyway, I know these units have an input for a slave tape player on the back of them, and I was wondering if there was a way to hook up a line in jack for my mp3 player... Any ideas? Thanks! Quote
Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 I know my freind makes a kit that you solder into your factory headunit. And it puts the MP3 tunes thru your stereo. But I cant find his auctions on ebay.. Quote
bodeen2007 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 you could try this it says it is for a 97 but just read it and see if it would work Quote
BXX Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 I did the same thing with my stock Olds cassette deck. If you have a built in cassette then it is kinda easy. Let me see pics of your stock deck. Quote

Crazy K Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 I added a aux input to a base model 88-94 CS radio. I haven't looked at the deluxe decks though. Quote
Olds W31 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Pl I added a aux input to a base model 88-94 CS radio. I haven't looked at the deluxe decks though. Please share how you did this....did you just find the preamp in for the tape head or ?????? Quote

But I cant find his auctions on ebay.. Yea yea, I am quoting myself.. My freind I mentioned got into contact with me. He might be willing to make another run of cords and instuctions. You can try contacting him at... mickstan@excite.com and see what he says. Quote
Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 Another one I found.. http://home.hiwaay.net/~davida1/radio.htm Quote

I believe he told me he pulled the wires off of the tape head and connected them to the headphone cord he had. It didn't sound bad. Quote

I believe he told me he pulled the wires off of the tape head and connected them to the headphone cord he had. It didn't sound bad. Thats not the proper way to do it... You need to find where the audio from the cassette ribbon feeds to the preamp and do the bypass there. You solder to what I do believe are called some attenuators. Here are some pics, first 2 are different examples where to solder to on 2 different stock CS radios (Cassette only vs CD cassette unit) Removing the ribbon the non destructive way Quote
GP1138 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 I could be wrong, but that's how I remember him saying he did it. Quote

Please share how you did this....did you just find the preamp in for the tape head or ?????? I believe he told me he pulled the wires off of the tape head and connected them to the headphone cord he had. It didn't sound bad. I cut and spliced into the wires going from the internal tape deck to the main radio circuit board. I can't remember all colors,,, but.. iirc red = right channel white = left channel three other wires of no consequence. (none is a ground) ground the ground to the chassis. I actually used a interrupting phone jack( but it is a piece of shit). the wires from the tape deck run through it, so when the a double male cable from the sound source is plugged in, it disconnects the tape feed. last but not least, I have to have a tape in the player to make it work. when the tape is out, the radio plays. when the tape is in, the tape plays (but sounds crappy due to a poor connection in the interrupter jack) the aux source plugs in and it replaces the tape audio.

BXX Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 Oh, your talking about the older Delco ATR type units, right... The one he posted is slightly newer so the pics and brief instructions I posted is what he wants to follow.. The points I circled are where the headphone jack wires need to be soldered.. (the 2 at the bottom, ignore the single one on top) I cant remember which is ground and which is signal, but it may not matter... Quote
