Aux input on factory head unit?

[KYBubblehead]

Good morning!
I tried the Search feature and couldn't get a good answer...
I'd like to add my currently unused XM tuner to the truck, but before I yank everything apart, I need to know if there is an aux input somewhere on the back of the factory (non HK) head unit? I'm doing this on the cheap and don't want to replace the head unit.
Can anyone answer this for me? Thanks!:yo:

What year 4R? I can say definitely not on a 2004. I added USA Spec Bluetooth to mine but even that doesn't have an Aux in, just Bluetooth.

There is an icarkit that adds an aux port, but it runs about $80. May as well just get a whole new stereo IMHO.

I have a 2004 without premium audio... There was no AUX port, but for $100 I bought a Pioneer head unit and it was a massive upgrade...

I went without CD, so the short chassis design got some some additional space.

In addition, it has bluetooth and a wired mic for hands-free phone, you can stream music right off the phone so no more AUX cable nonsense. What a convenience.

You still have an AUX port, and USB for a memory stick for music or whatever else you want to hook up.

For the price, it was a very affordable way to bring the stereo portion of the car back up to modern. On top of that, it actually sounds better too.

Highly recommend doing the install yourself... its a lot easier than you might think. My out the door cost installed was under $110, and it could have been even cheaper depending on the model you go with.

I guess that's the way I'll have to go as well... Thanks!:hello:

If it's any condolence, I had a difficult time trying to find a good spot to mount my Sirius Receiver (Starmate 4) and ended up getting a headunit that was Satellite-ready.
