Trying to add a bluetooth chip to am radio

[SirSner]

So I got a b body am radio to try this on before doing in my dart but can't get it figured. What I've done so far is splice the right output from the module to (what I think is) the input on the volume potentiometer. Then ran the ground output to the body of the radio. But I still can't get anything out of it. I did make sure the radio worked before doing this. If any of you fellers have experience adding aux inputs to these radios or might have an idea of what I'm doing wrong thatd be helpful. Thanks.

OK , simple stuff first.

1. Did the radio work before you started? Did YOU hear it working?

2. Do you have the pairing procedure for the Bluetooth chip you are using?

Yep I bench tested the radio and got it tuned in on a station. And I plugged the Bluetooth chip into another stereo and got sound out of it.

Do you have any documentation for the Bluetooth module you can post here?

Ok.

The radio works using the factory speaker wiring setup I'm assuming.

You said you plugged the chip into another "stereo".

This is where I think your problem is, going from the wiring setup for stereo vs the mono output and associated ground for a factory AM radio.

Is it possible you soldered the green wire to a left channel output and the black to a right channel output terminal??
