About this deal
AUX is probably 80% of CD volume, annoying when driving with the top down, as you really do need it up loud, and I've got DSP (10 speakers). The final result is a lot more elegant, however, with the unit able to switch over to auxiliary input at the touch of a button. The big problem was decoupling the panel module from the power source, because it inputted a tremendous amount of noise to the amp. Connect the left and right channels of the AUX cable to IN2_L and IN2_R using factory 1uF SMD capacitors (C153 and C154).
You can splice in to the wires going into those pins either by cutting in and soldering, or use non-solder tap connectors. I'd have a fiddle with the cable maybe, I know when I made my own, it was very fussy with the connection to the pins. This way, you can pump in the latest tunes from your smartphone without a fuss, while still maintaining an all-original look on the dash.That said, the Bluetooth FM transmitters I’ve tried (like this one) are usually adequate enough that I can enjoy the music still. Couple that with different coupons that you can collect, and you'll be getting a really good deal on adapter.
Bluetooth audio really wasn’t a thing yet at that point) but I could use my MP3 player direct via headphone jack output. I have the service manual and schematics on the unit, just need a little help finding and adjusting the MUX?
This is on top of the job of wiring in the auxiliary input into the tape, CD, or other audio input subsystem.
