2001 Chevy Tahoe Aux Input Question

If the radio is like the one in my 2000 S-10, the Aux. input is for a remote tape deck. All the plugs would be behind the radio anyway. My remote tape deck plugs in using a flat plug with several wires in it. Looks like one might be able to buy a harness, cut the tape deck end off and use the wires for your inputs. Not 100% sure on that, there may be a proprietary signal in there someplace...

This only applies if you don't have a remote tape deck and you have a plug on the back for it...

I just added a PAC AAI-GM9 to my 01 Tahoe's am/fm/cd+remote cassette. It adds 2 rca inputs and works GREAT with my Creative Zen Xtra. However, it does require the oem slave player (either remote cassette or cd changer) to exist and be playing. It's very easy to install yourself, just plugs into the back of the head unit - I installed mine in 15 minutes.

Plus a few years ago I added a GM oem-style 12 disc cd changer from

Thanks to all for the replies. With respect to the Tahoe post...when you say the remote cassette must be playing (my setup is identical to yours), what do you mean? Do you mean a tape must be inserted and playing for the ipod to be heard? One of the problems I am trying to overcome is the noise coming from the tape player when using the casette adapter with the ipod.

Thanks in advance.

One final question...Is the direct connection solution noticeably better than using a cassette adapter? I particularly would love to hear if you think the sound improves sufficiently to warrant doing this over using the cassette adapter. Thanks.

The direct connection is WAY better than the cassette adapter! Much better highs, plus you don't have to worry about the CrO2 or Metal tape equalization or whatever (if any) that is probably built into oem head unit (and of course you don't have to worry about disabling Dolby either).
