Hello Everyone,
I am currently looking at adding AUX to my 07 RTL (no nav). I have looked at isimple, USA spec and a lot of others. Here is what I want to do and I'm hoping for some Feedback.
I ordered the Factory AUX cover used in the NAV version. I want my AUX to look factory, however I plan to relocate it between the seat heater switches in the blank plug if possible. Having it in front of the passenger is annoying. I also ordered the stock plug to customize it before placing it in there. I plan on using the scoshe HAAXB to interface with it.
I want to be able to use my steering wheel controls on my android if possible. I was looking at the Isimple inseam. It has been out a couple years, but I can't find any real reviews on it. Anyone here have experience?
USASpec seems to be the brand to go to. I would rather my music be on the XM since I don't use it, but I can't find them with a bluetooth steering wheel radio control converter.
I want my radio to stay stock. I'm not really looking for the most cost effective solution, just one that will work well and reliably (preferably under $300, lower is better). I prefer wired connection to aux source if possible.
I know I'm probably being picky and this is a tall order, but i think its possible. I am no stranger to sautering, splicing, and heatshrink, or mechanics in general, so tech level can be as high as required.
I also have a copy of the helms manual, so if we need to rig up a custom harness I'm good for that to. I have a buddy with a 3d printer that I can make the connector with. I prefer not to damage, cut or splice any factory wires. I essentially want to be able to return the truck right back to the way it was with no evidence any of this stuff existed. Y connectors are my friends. I know that may not be possible though so I'm not against cutting a wire.
If we can make this work out, I plan to do a write-up for others who want a similar setup.
Who knows, maybe we can make an ROC kit since it seems there are quite a few threads with people also wanting similar features.
Anyone up for the challenge?
