PAPER CLIP!
*grins* I just did my aux job, man, took 15mins.
And $0.00.
Parts:
1 standard paperclip
1 old set of stereo headphones (or a dolalr store brand)
solder iron, solder
Electrical tape
Electrical shrink wrap
Heat gun
After removing the center console rear tray (easy as anything)
Step 1: cut paperclip into equal lengths of four. Bend one piece into a 'U' and use that as your bridge wire.
Step 2: rip apart the old headset wire, strip the non plug end about 1/4inch to half an inch
Step 3: Solder grnd, red and white wires to a piece of paperclip
Step 4: heat shrink wrap over solder
Step 5:
Insert each end of the paper clip ito the Aux plug, they fit snuggly and won't fall out, take a bit of slack on cord, wrap it securley with electrical tape on the aux plug , and replace the cover.
*(the cord I used is 5 feet long, and I fed it through one of the tab holes in teh back of the cetre console tray, lots of room, it's at least 1/4inch by just under 1/2 inch hole, two of them so you don't have to dremel or anything)
I have this piece too that I will install in the tray at some point.
THAN YOU Again for this DIY info, awesome! WOOT!
