Hello,
I recently purchased a 2005 Buick Rainier with only 97000 miles! I couldn't be more happy with it, it rides great and has plenty of power.
The only inconvenience I have found is the lack of input from my phone for calls/music. I have been looking for a way to add either Bluetooth or a 3.5mm jack. The problem is my Rainier doesn't have satellite radio. I also really like the 6cd changer and would prefer not to have to get an aftermarket head unit.
Seeing as there are plenty of options for the models with satellite radio, I was wondering if it would be possible to get the wiring harness from one of those radios and attach it to my head unit?
Or if I got a OEM head unit with satellite radio could I install that and then tap those wires?
I am comfortable with DIY projects, it certainly doesn't need to be plug-and-play
I am open to any and all insight/ suggestions
Thank you very much,
HMan_Rainier
