So I just installed my auxmod basic tonight and figured I would do a quick write up (mostly just a story board of the install). For those who dont know, auxmod basic uses your tape/md selector to play external sources (i.e. iPod) through the stock HU.
kit contents
stock HU out
just shows where to slide the auxmod in
auxmod installed in the HU
**EDIT** Important thing to note here is that you will NOT hear a snapping/locking sound. I was expecting it to lock in place and it doesnt, but the two sided tape will hold it. So dont try to FORCE the auxmod until you hear it lock, because it WONT
bought this cable at Radio Shack for $5, one end plugs into auxmod, and other end into the headphone jack on my iPod
cable plugged into auxmod and ziptied to radio to keep it in place
to route the cable cleanly, I cut a whole in the back of where the ashtray goes
I then dremeled a groove into the ashtray to route the cable again
I also dremeled a groove into the front of the ashtray so I can tuck the cable into the ashtray and close it.
this is what the finished product looks like. It sounds amazing too. All you have to do is push the "tape/md" button and you are good to go!
Any questions, just ask! it was very easy and I HIGHLY recommend it
