Adding Bluetooth to Factory Stereo on the Cheap

Had an old Sony Bluetooth trasmitter (BM10) laying around so i figures why not install it in to my trucks stereo(gm pn 16240065).
Here is module that you can get off ebay if you do not have old Bluethooth transmitter:

How did you identified 1st and 3rd pins ar Left and right channels.

[@xZeroOffical]

You didn't had to use boost converter to step down voltage to 5V. Most IC-s actually work with 5VDC so you could probably find 5V source somewhere on the main board. However your solution is way simpler.
I did it hard way on my old JVC stereo (not a car stereo) and it took me hours with pokimg around powered on unit with DMM to find reliable 5V source.

I keep asking myself how i want a new radio but not one of those ridiculous colorful ones, and i find this, with the same radio i have in my blazer! Hah!

[@juniorhead1406]

Would you be interested in doing this conversation for me on an identical radio

[@orbithesun1]

Now that's a real Frankenstein hack. Hot snot glue, coiled power cable and it works. lol

[@sdchargers84chicali91]

side note: make sure to also install a fire extinguisher

[@TOTALLYRELAXED]

Sdchargers84 Chicali hahahahahaha hahahahahaha! Lmao!

[@alexpadillayt]

Question can you just cut a aux cable and attach right and left channel and then connect it to a Bluetooth adapter? Will it work??

[@xaxs101]

Hey man. Can you update the link for the bluetooth module.

[@armandovaldez9555]

Can i use the bluetooth receiver from a portable bt speaker?

[@MRSANNETTE1]

[@brandonn1459]

[@sideproject4028]

[@danielmorrisseyrios]

Can I just pay you to do my 99 Tahoe? Lbs

[@brandonbachman158]

Damn dude u are a genius. Did u have to go to school to learn that stuff

[@rstacy]

Great project. Where can I find the pinouts for a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix?

[@rgvanguard6001]

The radios look different on the outside but pontiac and gm radios are identical internally

[@mistakang21]

Nice and thanks

[@mxcnprnkst1630]

do you have to put a CD in to trick the radio think it's playing the cd

[@hirokiide7750]

I wondered the same thing. Any answer?

[@clasicradiolover]

I have seen other guys do it w/o the CD, but I don't remember who it was. But it was on RUclips.

[@sideproject4028]

YES! you have to have CD to trick radio its playing something. I put mine or repeat and i dont have to worry about messing with it. Also, quick update, stereo still works as it did.

[@artm5583]

@@sideproject4028 you might not see this but could you use the AM station instead of CD? Only reason I ask is because my CD player no longer works. Amazing work man!

[@mrcee6512]

Can this be done to a factory unit out of a 2004 Cadillac Escalade?

[@NeilCaulfield]

the 2004 trucks use a different head unit but can probably be modified through similar means

[@donnysabel23]

Badass 🔥🔥🔥

[@jimmythompson5166]

Sale it to me
