2006 Equinox Stock Radio AUX
I have been reading conflicting reports on if it is possible to add an AUX input to this Radio. SOme people have claimed that a kit was developed. Others claim you can splice the wiring used for the XM radio. Does anyone know for sure what the situation is for this radio? At the very least does anyone have a pinout guide so we know what wires are carrying what signals? This is a 17 year old car so it must be documented by now.
For reference, I have attached a picture of the Radio in question.

You can only splice a 3.5mm jack into the XM tuner's audio wiring if you have factory XM tuner connected to it. You won't be able to select XM/aux as an input source without a tuner connected to the radio.

Are you referring to the Peripheral Technologies iPod2Car and AUX2Car interfaces? I am trying to see if they are compatible. Other forum posts seem to indicate one can use these devices to add capability but the official packaging of the product excludes the Chevy Equinox (while including ever other Chevy model).
Do you know if this Head unit was used in any other GM vehicle? Seem like none of the other Chevy models in this era used this head unit.

I see a lot of used XM tuners parts available on eBay for the Equinox. In fact upon looking further it seems as if the XM tuner itself is a common part used across different Chevy models. (P/N: 28039755) Are the XM tuners coded to a specific head unit? Would it be feasible to connect one of these used tuners + use this cable?
