2014 Cruze LS.

Not sure if this is possible to Add. I have an older Kenwood CD changer Model KDC-C512FM. I do not want to connect it via the fm antenna cable for obvious reasons (sound quality). I have the controller for it but the only output on the controller for connecting to the head unit is an FM antenna cable. Was hoping there might be a way of connecting it through the factory auxiliary input in the console. Is the auxiliary input for the factory radio considered a low level (pre amp input)? Or should I be looking for a better solution for a cd changer?

Rich.

Looking for a wiring diagram for the 2014 Cruze. Mainly the radio & PDIM module. I have acquired a Kenwood KCA-R71FM modulator that has left & right line level RCA outputs. I want to wire this to the auxillary input of the factory radio. I would like to bypass the PDIM for the best possible sound quality. I think if I wire it up directluy to the auxillary input, the sound will be degraded by the PDIM. I have absolutely no interest in music played through USB, Bluetooth or any other form of computer media other than compact discs.
Can anyone steere me towards some online schematics?

thebac, thanks for posting.
This information just might be the ticket. Just need to study & decipher it. Need to verify these are the actual color codes for my radio. One thing I don't understand is some of the pin numbers list 2 colors for the same pin and they have different functions. For example look a the descriptions of pin 10, 23,24, 31 + 32. There are function numbers associated with these. I don't understand what the function numbers mean. Also pin 23 is listed as auxiliary audio common signal. I think this means that left & right channel is sharing the same ground for left & right audio signals. I think that's a bad idea but I'm not sure. I thought it should have a separate left & right audio ground signal for unbalanced signals for true stereo quality. Need to rethink this. With today's technology one would think this would be an easy task.

I managed to figure out that I have RPO option code KTA & without UQA radio option from my RPO sticker. I have another pinout from another source ( supposedly all data) & that shows these option codes as speaker signal. So that makes sense. I have an LS without pioneer system. I received my FM modulator with RCA outputs today. Just need to figure how to wire it in & try it out. Not sure how to proceed. Before or after the PDIM module? Pin 11 is listed as auxiliary detection signal. I would think this would get a signal from the PDIM when you plug into the USB or phone jack. Will keep working on this. The goal is to keep the cd quality audio. If it doesn't work out I may consider an aftermarket head unit with direct input.

KensTV,
Not sure what you mean by grayed out. ?????? Are you refering to the display screen?
