Default Tired of not having an AUX port???

You send your radio to him and he will add an AUX port in the front or rear of the unit for you.

Price is $75.00 for the work and shipping. Best 75 bucks I ever spent if you want to keep the stock look.


Here is mine that I just got back today. It looks like it came with it from the factory and the quality is perfect.

That's not a bad deal. I might consider doing this if I ever get another SC.

Save the $75 and do it yourself for $8 like the DIY we have had in the forum for 7 years instructs you to. It' is STUPID easy, it literally plugs into the motherboard of the radio, you won't even have to solder.

DIY is on the forum but jist is $2.00 futaba radio plug used in RC and $6 aux jack. Futaba plug is perfect match for motherboard pins sticking up right in your face when you pop the top on the radio.

Down to the right.

Yea I did mines myself and wasted under $10. Routed it so the aux cable comes out of the armrest. Keeps that area cable free. Looks good though. Really does look like it came from factory.

You did the 3 pin method as above? I saw someone solder to the board on here..... I don't know why.

Link to that DIY? I found a few in the SC DIY section but they all dealt with splicing into the harness and using RCA cables.

I'm definitely tired of having the cassette aux cable and listening to that old school "hiss" when playing music from my android device. Can anyone confirm that the sound is clear? Do you press the tape button to activate the Aux mode when completing the DIY method posted above.

Yes, i promise if this is done correctly, it'll sound CD clear! You have to trick the system to not play anything, as this input method overrides all of them. I'm no electronics whiz, but yeah...ha. I used a scratched CD and put that in my changer. Played that CD and the radio would just sit there and say "Err". The other way, is to have a tape adapter in there. I believe that'll keep the radio from ejecting it if it wasn't playing anything...never tried it. hehe
