There is no input on the stock head unit. If you want to use a mp3 player then you have to get something like the USA spec (or a rf modulator but no one likes that)
I would recomend the USA Spec, mine works awsome and took about 10 min. to install.hoofhearted said:Has anyone found a FM ipod modulator that doesnt suck? I have a Griffin I-Trip that is terrible.

The USA spec ipod/aux input adapter does indeed work with the JBL stereo, right?
Yes, it does. . . .ZippyTWonderdog said:...and just to verify...

Just to be clear... there are two 6-CD changers. One is an integrated changer in the headunit. The USA-Spec will work with this one. The other is an external changer. This uses the same port on the factory headunit as the USA Spec, which is the reason it won't work with the USA Spec.This seems to be the consensus, that it does indeed work with the 6 disk changers, bot non-JBL and JBL systems, yet USA Spec's website says it won't.

If you search on USA spec, I'm pretty sure there was a detailed install thread with pics (or links to another site with pics).Does anyone hae a photo of this port, or of the plug, and a pin-out description?
Sorry, but when I referred to two, I meant two types, i.e. in-dash or external. Yes, there are technically two in-dash types, but there is also an OEM add-on option which is external. So, to hopefully reclarify, if you load your disks into the CD player in the dash, you should have no problems with the USA spec. If you load them into a cartridge unit tucked away somewhere else in the truck, you can't use the USA spec because that port is already taken up.why is this even a cause for concern?
i got the Roadtrip. not bad, if you go long distances it'll get fuzzy here and there around different cities, but it takes all of about 5 seconds to switch to another clear station. digital display and full range of stations from 88.1 - 107.9hoofhearted said:Has anyone found a FM ipod modulator that doesnt suck?

Only 10 mins? Apparently then you don't have to dissasemble the dash to get to the back of the stereo to integrate the unit with the stereo?? If it's anything like my old 1994 Toyota Pickup (still miss her!), you have to tear apart the majority of the dash just to get to the stereo. It can be quite an undertaking.crusty said:I would recomend the USA Spec, mine works awsome and took about 10 min. to install.
Very minor disassembly. Pop the HVAC controls out. Remove four 10mm bolts and pull. There is a thread with pictures in the DIY sticky, IIRC.Only 10 mins? Apparently then you don't have to dissasemble the dash to get to the back of the stereo to integrate the unit with the stereo??
