I do know when Pulled the tape off it was 3 separate wires. No shield.

And you have to break the connection between the xm receiver and the head unit other wise you will have both audio sources trying to play at the same time.

 

Now I didn't do any extra research over what I needed to know, I did however during my searches manage to locate a person making a cable with the male and female plugs and wired through the audio jack like previously shown. I don't recall the place or anything other than it was 25$. I didn't bother to see if the connectors were the same between the vette and h3 so I don't know if it would work.

 

" making a cable with the male and female plugs and wired through the audio jack like previously shown."

THATS THE HOT SETUP!

and yes the wires must be cut,"intercepted"

oh?,,not shielded huh?,,my book is fooling!

last; if this "algore"weather would get out of here i mite work on mine,,,,still 29 degrees!

 

I'm not gonna lie to you and say it's not shielded, however I only pulled off 2" of tape right behind the radio so the shield may have been cut just past that.
I haven't personally experienced any hum, whine from mine and I've plugged my charger in the phone while playing music, wrapped the headphone cable around the charger, and moved it all over to test it.

I've found the link to the guy making harnesses. An Auxiliary Input Alternative for owners who don't use XM - Corvette Forum

 

beautiful!,im confused on the 12 pin/16 pin conn though.
i guess i gotta pull the radio again anyway.

edit, oops the earlier post showing a jack that would normalise the audio when the plug is pulled IS the way to do it

 

I'm personally leaning towards a standard audio jack with a double pole double throw switch, instead of the closed contact type jack, only because I can't seem to find a panel mount jack.....only PC mounts.

Edit- Yes I did see the one at Radio Shack on the Corvette Forum link, but I don't have much faith in Radio Shack components.

 

the sw is a good idea cause its ezr to wire and u can let the plug plugged in

 

A BIG thanks to 'wytecraka' for his post on this thread showing how to add a mp3 player to our H3's for about $5! I just finished this mod and it works great! I didn't want to cut into my factory harness for the connections, so I made my own pigtail to interconnect. I was previously using a wired FM modulator and was happy with it, but I had no idea of the sound I was missing. I now have true digital instead of digital to analog conversion. Thanks again!!

 

Broken Halo,

Does this mod that wytecraka posted disable XM? I couldn't find if it did or didn't on the vett forum the orginal post was located on.
