Aux Input

[jamn]

Hi: I'm new here so I'm not sure if this has been asked before. I have a 2003 Silverado 2500 HD with a stock Bose Unit, and an in dash 6 disk changer. I want to install a Kenwood Sirius radio and not use an FM modulator. There are some adaptors that provide an aux (RCA) input; however, it is stated that an in dash 6 disk changer does not qualify. Now my unit has an CD/Aux button. Also this unit looks just like the unit that has a DVD entertainment system. I assume that the CD/Aux button would toggle between the CD player, and possibly and optional center console cassette deck. So why is the 6 disk changer unit exempt from working with available adaptors? I recently broke my wrist so I can't pull the unit out. Does anyone know if there is an aux plug on the back of this unit? If so, where can I get an adaptor?

The CD/Aux button would either be CD or auxillary input, so if you didn't have the cd, you would have an auxillary input, and visversa, you cannot use both at the same time. But you could get a series of adapters to do it, some kind of a switch would probably work, sort oflike you use to connect more components thatn you have plugs on a tv. But you really need to pull the radio out and check out the connections, i would guess they are rca's or a stereo plug.

Like he said, an A/B stereo switch would work, and look very tacky. I would try to find a digital switch that looks like you could pop the button out, extend the wires, and mount it on your dash somewhere while hiding the rest of it.
