I'm going to install this unit tomorrow in my 96 Yukon. Where did other buyers install the switch and run the Aux cable? Thanks!

I ran the cable through the center console and installed the switch just below the steering column

In my 99, I put the switch next to the CD player, under the ac controls. There was a spot about an inch square on the passenger side. There should also be a space closer to the ashtray. The aux I put in the front of top of the center console. It meant I could leave iPod connected and out of site. Just inside the latch where there was a flat spot. Used a label printer (white lettering on clear) to mark the switch.

We have a Trane with AUX Heat. There are wiring options that covered mine. It should be the same with your application.

No, the connection is behind the nav unit. It is super easy to install and literally plugs right in. When you hit the 'mode' button after the wire is installed, AUX becomes an available option. The CD option remains available.

My suggestion to you is to do what we did - take your vehicle and have someone put a remote on it and throW that piece of junk away. We attempted to put it on our car and had the same problem. The directions are made that nO human can understand them. We even took the directions to see what we were missing to a friend that knowS a lot about wiring and vehicles, and he could not tell head nor tails of it. We had one installed one ours for right at a $100.00 and it works great. THROW IT AWAY !!!

You do need to set your console to AUX but i have found that listing to the radio and switching when you receive a call works well.

I went to the car stereo, to get all the answer from them, they give you all the answer and they recomened, alpine 500, it cost about around 200 dollars, they will install it for me hope that answer your question.

Don't use the aux cable. Use the ipod cable to connect the ipod only and then plug the unit into cig lighter. Make sure to select radio station number on unit and use that same number on radio. Works perfectly ;)

Yes. It worked for me and the sound is great. I would recommend popping off the center console and running the wires under and out the side. Clean.

My 06 Tundra had a plug under the dash by the left kick-panel, plug in with the included harness and mount the unit. Could not be any easier.

Not am aux but it has an ipod port that is fully integrated. I am going to list mine for cheap on Amazon if you want to wait till tomorrow. I upgraded to 2014 Tundra and this doesn't fit.

I have an 09 Gallant. Do you have the 6 disc changer? If so, Google the model number and look fora site that gives you the socket pin outs. If not, no joy. There is no audio level in capability for the single disc stereo. I found the bad news onot the Internet and spent the better part ofa day trying to make it work anyway. A new head unit might even be a better idea.

I went to a local car audio store to get the correct wire harness adapter and dash trim/din set, I would recommend finding a local car audio store that sells those parts to you can connect everything right and have it look nice. Mine looked awesome and played great, I don't have the car I put it in any more, and I really miss it.

As far as I know you must purchase a wiring harness specific to your vehicle. I got mine at walmart. Round $15. One side wires to stereo and other plugs to your factory harness to keep you from having to cut wires. It's pretty simple. You will have to do this with any stereo you buy. This is a good one I think for the money. Not many for the price have bluetooth capability and hd radio. That is why I bought one.

BTW, I think the button on the remote for switching between Dig. Audio 1, 2 and Aux is the Aux button near the top right. It cycles through the 3 inputs.

I have a Tahoe 2007 LT3 which should be similar to the 08 Yukon. The key component is the XM input, as that is what is used for the BT ... I think it's a "yes," as well.

Go to Crutchfield ... if you need the full install kit with bezel, antenna adapter and factory wiring kit and harness they give you the bezel kit and adapter for free and all install harnesses or steering wheel modules etc. are half off. Even though the unit is $699 at Crutchfield if you buy the iDataLink Maestro or Or Axxess wiring kits ... if you had to buy those new at full price anywhere plus this Pioneer here on Amazon it would come out to about the same price as you would pay if you bought the head unit from crutchfield and got the wiring kit and harness etc. for half off and other stuff for free. I know this looks like a good deal here but it't not if you need the entire install kit for your vehicle and you don't Pioneers Mfg. warranty ... but you do from Crutchfield. Just wanted to make you all aware of this.

It comes with all the wiring you need and the factory switch for it. Just make sure you get someone that knows how to install it right.
