GM makes one, but I think it only works on 07+ HUs.

I thought GM had something for the glove box that did this. Don't have part numbers sorry.

Don't waste money on FM transmitter. If you live in a city it will be static non-stop

With a lot of work, different wiring harness, a lot of re-wiring, and a lot of lost functionality...
