Okay guys, got a few questions here. My truck is the 2002 GMC Envoy SLT with the BOSE stereo system with rear amp. Got a few questions need answered.
1st) The damn radio gets SCORCHING hot after riding around a while, usually notice on things like long trips. I will put my hand on the display of the radio or even the temperature display, and it will literally burn your hand after a couple seconds. So like when it gets real hot, if i put the back of my hand on the display, i can probably hold it on there for maybe 5 seconds, and then have to remove or it is just too much to handle. Im sure it wasnt designed like this, any ideas?
2nd) Is there any way to add an AUX input on this thing? From what I have read, there is not port or anything to do this, I think it only has the AM/FM button on the wheel, not the band button. I know there is an "AUX" setting on the stereo itself, but not on the wheel. I heard about a possible inline converter, but could not find anything pointing me in the right way as far as specifics.
Pertaining to my first issue, Im not sure if it matters, but I have a subwoofer in the back. Nothing big, just one 10" Square Infinity enclosed powered sub. It is wired for connections to the rear amp (for the preouts), and it is powered through the rear power post underneath the rear seat fusebox. I dont think this is relevant, just wanted to say that just incase.
The stereo sounds amazing, as well as the sub, and really have no complaints other than the lack of aux control. I have a radio transmitter, but it is kinda sketchy, and just want something clearer. Thanks in advance!
