Question about a DIY AUX project I知 wanting to do ...
I was wondering if this would work on an 04 LS with nav/ ML... or if there is a way to retro fit.
Ive searched and couldn稚 find a write up.
And before anyone says it. No I don稚 want a GROM or VAIS etc.... itching for a project and want to do something like this.. I HATE my FM modulator
thanks guys

Ha! You must be over 60... :P
Why try to reinvent the wheel - and use Bluetooth instead? You don't have to deal with a cable and you can leave your phone in your pocket, have "just as good as" sound, and a stealth installation. The BT45-TOY is easy to install and integrates into the car's electronics, including steering wheel controls, plus gives you a mic for calls.
BTW, I am over 60, myself...

My own project is to wire both the Aux 3.5mm cable and the supplied USB cable from the BT45 to the cigarette lighter of the ash-tray with one of these:

Why not GROM?
I just installed one in my 430 (I used to have one in my Volvo). Here are a couple items of interest:
1. You can still play CDs (I think; when I installed the GROM it didn't work until I ejected all the CDs, so it stands to reason that putting a CD back in would work).
2. The Audio interface shows the artist and song name (usually, sometimes it just says AUX).

Here's the PDF for install and operation: https://www.usaspec.com/images/docum...103016_web.pdf
HOWEVER: YOU MUST GO TO THE SITE TO CHOOSE YOUR EXACT VEHICLE MODEL/YEAR BEFORE PURCHASE.
Also, the BT45 displays song and artist info. So, there... :P
