Stock Delco UM6 radio with MP3/RCA?

[BigBlockOlds]

I've seen where there are people that have installed an MP3 jack in the older GM Delco stereo's but haven't actually found a place that offers the service. Has anyone had this done to their stock head unit?

What about RCA outputs? I was told this could be done but I haven't seen or heard of anyplace that does this. The amps I am using have a line output converter integrated into them so I could just run speaker wire directly to them but thought if there was a slicker solution with the RCA's, I might look into that.



I've gone the aftermarket route in the past but I'm tired of the "look" of an aftermarket stereo head unit. The single DIN units just don't look right in the DIN-1/2 openings and there's only one aftermarket DIN-1/2 stereo out there, made by Pioneer. It doesn't look that great either. :(

This is the radio I am working with:





Thanks for the help,

Did it for me. Converted an AM to AM/FM Stereo w/ external MP3 player input and power antenna signal

The only problem with those is that the sound quality is terrible. Well, by today's standards anyway. I remember back when I was in high school I bought a Sony Discman with the car adapter kit. This is what it used to interface with the stock stereo and the sound quality might have been better than a tape but was definitely worse than a straight CD. :(

Thanks for the link! Looks like he does a lot of the older stuff but maybe he'll still work on the newer radio out of my '87.
