Default Need help! How to do 5$ aux w/tape cassette

I'm trying to do the 5$ aux with my tape cassette cause I don't have a cd magazine, and I don't know if it even works. I'm trying to hook up my bluetooth AUX to it. Right now I am using a cassette adapter and used a female to female couple to connect to my bluetooth aux and I sounds like complete BS, not to mention I ran it through the whole center console to hide the wires.

Can anyone tell me or find me a picture of the tape left +\- and tape right +\- I am going on a road trip here soon and I would like to be able to share my bluetooth with my passengers. If I have to buy it I will. I'm going to do everything like the 5 aux thread but hide all the wires again so it can be on charge and available everytime I get in the car. Thank you!

2001 gs430. I will make this the official DIY thread for anyone who would like to do this.

Just pay the $100 or whatever it is for the GROM unit, connects automatically, can make calls, zero wires, and can control through your radio/steering wheel controls. It's not $5 but it's not expensive either.

turn the volume down on your iphone or whatever about 3/4 of the way and adjust volume through radio and not phone.

Yeah that's what I actually have been doing with my tape cassette adapter, but now installing bluetooth to it there's no hope. I even have treble reducer on my iphone equalizer and treble turned all the way down on my navi and its still very static sounding when claps or drum snares go through the tweeters. I just need the wiring diaghram for the cassette adapter and ill be golden.
