    This tread from Timothom seems to lay out a great plan of action to get it done. I am not sure what your stereo looks like on the back and what ports you have available to tap into. I would start by finding that out and by googling and checking YouTube for info specific to your truck and radio. What part of Cali are you in?

    I see that there are Comercial options available, however as an electronics tech for more than 20 years I often see things like this as a challenge to be solved. If aux is all you want I would consider going the way of the post from Timothom... Just my 2cents worth. $120-$150 is a lot of coin for an aux port. IMO

    I used this for about 4 months then I finally got a pioneer with bluetooth :D
    Never had a problem and just plugs in, cheaper option if you plan to get a new stereo in the near future.

    The USA Specs come up for sale in the BST fairly regularly , that's where I got mine , for a substantial savings over new , the other benefit of the USA Spec over just an aux / headphone jack input is sound volume and the USA Spec keeps the ipod charged
