USB/AUX-IN port

[328ijunkie]

Ever figure out the USB cable?

as far as stock head unit systems,

AFAIK there is no support for aux in unless you open up the radio, which adds to the work, and also requires the radio in hand...

which as far as selling a kit would mean sending me the radio, or buying the radio from me pre modded(me sourcing stock radios might become an issue), or a DIY solder kit....

I want this to work in mine. Get rid of the aftermarket changer. It bothers me to see non OEM in my vert.

Can you measure this? Looks like it will fit into an e36 perfectly, just want to confirm before I order.

the actual insert is 37mm x 18mm

the top is 41mm x 18mm

At this point it looks like it would cost about $40 per adapter to have both USB and 3.5mm, or $20 per cable if you only want one or the other.

Solder-less adapter with all new oem pins and connector housings.


I just ordered all the parts to make one(not just the soldered prototype), so once that is done ill get some real pictures and gauge interest.

I dont have the stock H/U, but could probably make a similar adapter for it.(i can easily source one)

My original i am making is mainly to have a clean look to any after-market radio, rather then having a USB port hanging out beside the cig lighter, and an aux cable in the glove box, this provides a clean OEM look and keeps those features.

I went today and dug through a massive box of E92 wiring, and had no luck finding the other connector......

This is exactly what I want for my vert. I have a spare rear ash tray I would like to fit a USB port and AUX in to. USB to power only. AUX to stock premium radio.

one cable made

I saw an E30 at the yard with one. Similar to the aftermarket alarm blanks with the led fitted to them, that are common on old e30s. Figure it cannot be hard to stick a jack and wire into that. This is the LED-blank I was referencing: (my car's old dash setup)
