USB / Aux connection
 

I'm looking into upgrading my HU but would really like to be able to continue to use the original factory USB / Aux connection. I know that this connector

will allow me to use the USB port but does anyone know of a comparable connector for the Aux port, ideally one which terminates with a 3.5mm male jack?

There was a posting in one of the threads which gave a DIY method of wiring the Aux port up, but I'd rather avoid having to solder up something myself if at all possible.

:thanks:

I am confused... Most modern HUs will including these features themselves. Why does it matter if the OEM ones work or not?

So you're saying you're okay with the USB and aux port next to the shifter being nonfunctional? It might be okay for you but it would definitely drive me nuts.

Wouldn't really bother me, no. But I wasn't sure the reasoning behind the OP's question. If that is ineed the case, then I can understand it. Some people are anal like that. No hate intended.

Not so much a case of being anal but rather of being practical. None of the Head Unit's I'm considering has an aux in on the front of the unit hence it needs to be connected to the back. Since there's already an aux socket beside the USB, and since I have no intention of ever pulling the HU out each time I want to connect an aux in, why have a dog and bark yourself??

Ah, gotcha.

Lol @Sporran love that analogy

you can also follow this how-to. though i just did, and my usb port isn't working.. i didn't have time to troubleshoot it yet though.. it could have pulled apart for all i know..

if your aftermarket HU has usb and 3.5mm in the back, you can use this:

That's what I ended up using.
