pshojo Posted December 2, 2013 Report Posted December 2, 2013 Has anyone used any kits to install USB port to their radio? I rented a car and all it had was USB port and I selected "AUX" and i could run pandora and charge my phone at the same time. There has to be a way to hook up one to a stock radio? Quote
RobertISaar Posted December 3, 2013 Report Posted December 3, 2013 you could have any radio impliment a USB port capable of charging a device, but audio over USB? not an easy thing to integrate. Quote
pshojo Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Posted December 4, 2013 Any other options to be able to play iPhone/iPod in radio? Quote
RobertISaar Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 doing it over the 1/8" audio jack has been done for quite a while. Quote
George Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) doing it over the 1/8" audio jack has been done for quite a while. Does anyone have instructions/ diagrams/ video to install 1/8" audio jack on the '94 Cutlass vert OEM stereo? Edited December 4, 2013 by George Quote

George Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 I have seen some on you tube, unfortunately not my exact stereo. I understand the principal, inert the plug into the stereo, cut off the radio broadcast and transfer to the aux input. I am a dufas when it comes to electronical stuff so if it's not the same, I don't think I want to attempt it. Quote
George Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 Sorry pshojo, I think you have been thead jacked. Quote
Galaxie500XL Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 Sorry, I was under the impression that the link would be useful to both pshojo, AND the other poster. If that constitutes "thread jacking", I apologize. Quote
George Posted December 5, 2013 Report Posted December 5, 2013 No, I was talking about me going from the USB input to the 3.5 mm aux input. Quote
pshojo Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Posted December 5, 2013 3.5 jack is option, need to look closer. Quote
pshojo Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Posted December 6, 2013 good write up on first glance, looks like my next project. Any of you have issues in getting this to work? Quote
will_s95 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Posted December 9, 2013 If you just get a different radio you can have Bluetooth, USB, and a 3.5mm jack along with better speaker amplification for around 100 bucks. It is by no means a permanent modification and you can always be switched back to the stock radio. Alpine makes a great unit that does all of these things. Quote
pshojo Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Posted December 11, 2013 Actually a different radio would sound nicer. Different radio means adaptor kit, ect. And I am kind of cheap at least for my daily driver. The CD player quit and I'm trying to figure out cheap way of playing other than radio. Unless ss someone has spare working olds CD player? I've bought two and neither works?? Quote
Galaxie500XL Posted December 13, 2013 Report Posted December 13, 2013 I ended up giving up on used ones, and bought an NOS factory stereo with CD and cassette about 3 years ago...but that's probably well outside of what you'd want to spend.
