Default DIY: Use the OEM aux-in for AFTERMARKET DECKS!!

Hey everyone after procrastinating to do HW i found this a fun and little project to do if you have an aftermarket headunit and that aux input from the 06+ tCs and you wanna maintain having the aux input in the arm rest. without further adue...





























btw. i used 3/8" heat shrink over the tape

Enjoy! :D

Cool! It'd be even cooler with a more subtle watermark...... I know what it's like to not get credit for your work, but it actually quote gets in the way of the image.

Just some constructive criticism

Thanks for posting this, I have been looking for an adapter for this exact purpose. Like others have said some of the pictures are unclear to what you are doing. Is the plug behind the stereo or under the center console? You mention both being under the center console.

It's one of those things that, looking at it now you scratch your head, but once you dig your car apart, you know exactly what is going on.
