How To: Make an AUX input for FREE

This worked great on y 07 Mazda5 Touring edition. With a little patience it activates the Media button on my factory head unit.

Thanks.

Does this work on Mazda 3 2004 factory? Not sure what model it is. I took it out but it has no indicators.
After reading some of the fried stereo stories, I'm abit hesitant because I can't afford a new stereo and have a road trip after this semester ends.
This is what I have, I believe

One more idea I'm thinking right now is to find FM radio amplifier, cut the pcb lines and solder aux input there. In this case I will loose my radio, but I don't need it. Will give a try when I remove my HU for any purposes. Also there can be used the 3.5 female with 5 pins with switching off and in this case the radio will be switched off when the jack is inserted. Can anyone give an advice where FM amplifier lines can be on the PCB?

Any way we can get the original pictures back up? I need to dig into this on my car since my left side went out about a month ago. I saw the pic a couple pages back but the numbering is different than the numbering wannabe put up. I don't want to pin the wrong one and have to buy a new stereo.

Thanks!

Maybe it helps if I use an updated browser. Just pulled this up on my phone and everything is there. Never mind.

Hello ZAMETAL just a question did you tried to connect the bridge between 1 and 8 before going to the PCB mod. According to the diagram on top 2I is also an AUX CONTROL

One of us should be able to figure this out without having to solder the board. They make plug in units so i is possible. check out this one, it says there is a module bay inside the HU for the tape/MD. http://www.sylfex.com/products/AuxMod/
