Aux plug in a vz cal

[Chris1991]

Hey guys was wondering if there's someone somewhere that can put an aux plug into my stock head unit? Or is it possible?? It's 05 vz Calais. V6.

It very possible unless mine is imaginary. There's a site sponsor called ASR, he does the aux in mod for these head units - he can even to a set of RCA outs so you can plug it into an amp, and it sounds just as good as an aftermarket head deck without looking tacky.

Look in the vy section, there's a sticky thread, I've dine it to mine and it works fine, although I'm not sure if it works with the 6 stack players

I can confirm it does - mine is a 6 stacker

[Chris1991]

Ok sweet... Thanks guys.. Price approx.?

[one_and_only2004]

I think it was $200, but it was a fair while ago that mine was done

Welcome to ASR Audio & Electronics Home Page

Look at the very top, it is possible to be done. $145 fully installed.

The stock head units dont have anywhere near as much control as an aftermarket one and still cheaper to put a new one in all together.

If all your wanting to do is have the ability to play off an external source then it's fine. Work's out cheaper as well plus you get to keep the factory look.

What do you want to control, the voyager space probe? There's more than enough adjustment for the normal person, plus steering controls still work and it doesn't cheapen the look of the interior.

i meant not possible without mods, who spends money and time on stock head units anyway...i think its pointless. AUX?? buy something with USB get with the times.

Your opinion on whether or not it's pointless was not the question, some people like the stock look of the interior, some don't, there's no point getting worked up over it.

My way is free, cost is an aux cable

[Surfwagon]

Just had Greg (ASR) do my aux in and RCA outs before Xmas all works perfectly, $270 for both.

Not wanting to annoy anybody, but, have a look at this site. I think it's pretty cool. I don't have an ipod, and, don't really care about music in the car, but, if I did, I do like the thought of being able to control everything through the std headunit.

There is a video of it working here

[CapriciousWL]

Contacted him when I first got my car and at the time he wasn't going to develop any further VZ items.

I got a Parrot MCI9100. Bluetooth Hands Free Car Kits - Parrot USA

Gives full iPod control, USB input, SD card etc. Fantastic unit. Also full Bluetooth.

Downside, no steering wheel controls - care factor 0 as there is a remote fixed to the dash that controls the unit.

GTO Hard Wire Tutorial

[VZequipe]

Richard, have you tried that Hard Wire? By the sounds you have, I'm thinking of doing it.... Is there anything major that can go wrong and ruin the whole stero? I assume not, im pretty handy with a soldering iron and all that, so it should be ok.

[richardpalinkas]

I have done it, worked fine for me, although do at your own risk. It does say to play a cd with a blank track on it, but I found that it will work with any cd, it overrides the cd music

[VZequipe]

Ah sounds good and yeah 'whole risk thing' got that I think i will do it, i should be able to easily enough.
