Jon, we suggest you install an automotive auxiliary input adapter. This aux input adapter will allow you to input any mp3 player, portable music player, Apple iPod or Apple iPhone into your factory stereo. This is the most cost effective and easiest way to add an audio input into your factory radio directly rather than over the air. Here is the adapter you will need:

Can I hook audio to my 2004 chevrolet silverado? I would like to hook my satellite radio or cell phone directly into the factory unit. Is this possible and is there a harness needed? Thanks
Erik, run a primary wire
to your steering column and use the orange wire in the ignition switch harness. This orange wire will provide a switched power source for your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 stereo.
