Installing Aux on Nav radio

[danebuss]

Hi there,

I ordered the following cable on ebay.

Mine came without the black plug due to having nav. It came with 2 red wires crimped and a black wire also.

They told me to plug it into the plugs in the back of the stereo as much... For the life of me i cant get them in there and they also sent me two seperate images.

Is there a better option for getting aux as its peeing me right off and all I want is to be able to plug in my phone without spending 200 on a unit.

You have to remove the plug from the frame then slide out the inner from the housing, then put the cables in the relevant positions and put it all back together in reverse order.

If you get stuck pm me your phone number and I'll talk you through it. Done mine a couple of weeks ago and all good.

Ive been looking for something as simple as this for a while. I have one question though, I have an '03 Z which has a business stereo and a 'Mode' button which in the video on the sellers ebay page is apparently all i need. To get to Aux i take it this cable/wiring provides this input as i dont have that at the minute only CD - CD changer and radio.

Yes once you add the aux wire the radio then lists an aux input.
