I may be understanding this wrong but....

There are 5 prongs on the rs plug I bought.
1 ground
2 left sound
3 right sound
4 touches 3 when no plug is inserted.
5 touches 2 when no plug is inserted.

The package shows 4 is for "normally open" and 5 is for "normally closed"

All this does is completes the circuit when the plug is not in the jack. Which on a radio plugging the headphones in would disrupt sound to the radio speakers and only the head phoes would have sound. What I am having trouble understanding is do 5 and 6 (browns) need signal coming into them from pins 1 and 2 (red and green)? because if I wire this jack the way described in this post that is what will happen when I unplug the headphone plug. At the same time it tells me that 5 and 6 (browns) wouldn't ever be connected together and theoretically (sp?) the aux function wouldn't be made available on the HU.

Or am I just turning this into something more difficault than it needs to be. Has anyone wired it up this way that can verify it works? I would like the aux to only be available when the plug is in use.
