I recently purchased a 2009 Tahoe LT and it does not have USB ports but it has quite a number of cigarette lighter style power ports. I'm ok with using the AUX to listen to music from my phone and a separate cable to power it, but I don't like having to handle my phone at all while driving to change the song.

I'd like to install a USB port to be able to control the music from the buttons either on the steering wheel or radio itself. Is this possible? If so, can someone point me in the right direction? I'd like to keep my factory unit as I love the look of the flow it has in the dash. We've already installed after market units in our 3 other vehicles that do exactly this (albeit with a remote), but I'd like to keep this factory look if possible.

Thanks!

 

I've never seen this functionality added...

you can always just burn a bunch of music to a CD as MP3s... that gives you around 700 minutes of music w/out all the wires and such.

or, when I bought my Tahoe, Lifetime XM was $400... now that I'm 5 years in, it's worked for me.
