2004 Chevy Aveo Aux Jack Installation - Part 1

See part 2 of this video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u07v09ZFZ_E

This video demonstrates how I added an aux jack to a 2004 Chevy Aveo. This procedure should work for both 2004 and 2005 models. I was able to splice it into the CD player's audio circuit. This requires that a blank audio CD be playing in order for the stereo to monitor the CD Player circuit, and thus hear what you're connecting to the aux jack. Using this method, the CD player still functions fine if you want to play normal CD's. This method may not necessarily work for all Chevy Aveos, much less for other types of vehicles. But, if your vehicle has a similar wiring structure for the CD Player, this concept may very well work for other vehicle models.

DISCLAIMER:
Performing this procedure has the following potential consequences:
-- Irreparable damage to your vehicle's stereo
-- Irreparable damage to your vehicle's other components (dashboard, electrical systems, etc.)
-- Irreparable damage to your iPod, iPhone, or other MP3 player that is being connected to the aux jack
-- Voiding of vehicle's warranty and/or stereo's warranty
-- Personal Injury or death (3rd degree burns, electrocution, or lacerations)

hey, how are you. My mom has 2004 chevy aveo and her cd thing doesn;t work. The cd goes inside but it doesnt play. I tried 3 times I have put the cd in it but it doesnt play. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST

@mimozastela the lens of CD player may be dirty, or there may be other issues with the unit. I'd recommend maybe carefully using compressed air to clean any filth out of CD bay internally. Don't poke the lens, just put the compressed air straw in maybe 1/2" or so and blow out the dust. If that doesn't work, maybe a bad connection inside, but that would require disassembling the unit, which is a pain. New CD player may be best option.
