Pinout for Aux Input on LX

[db869]

To everyone who posted this info, Thanks! This is awesome info!

I got a shiny new iPod Touch for Christmas and was using an FM transmitter (which pretty much sux when you live in SoCal since there are very few open frequencies) until I came across this info. Of course, I have a 06 Civic LX so I had no Aux port. But I do now!

I used a 3.5mm M-F extension cable for my cable between the console and the Aux connector. I connected the female end of the cable to the aux port in the car and the male end of the cable to the new jack in the console. Now if I need to remove the console for some reason I just unplug the connector under the console and it can be easily removed.

All told this cost me about $20, and that included the cost of buying a soldering iron and solder. WAY cheaper than paying Honda to do this. And using the little Radio Shack plug I was able to mount the aux jack just above and between the shifter and the parking brake.

Now I'm off to Fry's to find a right-angle 3.5mm cable.

Does this look correct?



Red = right
Green = left
Yellow = ground (from both wires)

I plugged pins 1,2,3 (from page 1's reference pins) respectively with red,green,yellow but no sound.

I plugged pins 1,2,3 respectively with green,red,yellow but no sound!

I'm not sure what's wrong here.

I got the paper clip to connect pin 5 & 6 and it worked because I could switch CD to AUX...just no sound.

yeah....

Nevermind,
I scrapped that first wire and used another wire (aux cable), which already had the ground wire in one wire. My first wire (headphones) had a red, yellow, green yellow and the two yellow's were the ground. The second wire (aux cable) had a red, yellow, and white. After experimenting with combinations and the help of my uncle, we figured out the red wire was the ground. The sound works now. Maybe the first wire (headphone) was broken or something.

Now I just have to mingle around with it some more because my sound system is giving me a sound output lower than I expected. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks for the DIY!

you need a device called a LOC

LOC= Line out Converter just so you know

I just bought a pioneer H/U which has a 3.5mm female input for aux in the rear. My question is if i splice a 3.5mm male cable. Can i use T-Taps to tap into the factory aux. I would prefer to tap from the cables near the factory radio harness if possible. If thats possible which wires do i need to tap.
