in my 2006 scion tc, there's a aux port (that u plug in to connect your ipod, cd player, laptop etc. its a regular headphone jack/ plug.)

however. the jack, broke inside of the plug. so i was wondering any1 kno how to get the broken piece of jack. out of the plug.

 

lol.. uh oh...... thats gonna be hard... what i can think of is probably going under the center console and see if theres some way u can push it back out.. magnet was my first thought but its gonna be hard getting it since its not gonna be strong enough to pull the thing out

 

yeah, i was thinkin of a magnet as well. but i knew that's not gonna work. maybe tweezers. but i dont think theres enough gap. any1 know how to take the center console off?

 

its actually just a snap on snap off... this is for installing the short shifter, but it shows u how to take off ur center console cause u gotta do that to install a short shifter anyways..

To pop off the console the part around the shifter that goes up the waterfall needs pulled up and back to come off...then the compartment arm rest has two screws in the bottom.....there are two more screws behind the waterfall and once you take them off remove al the wires in the console and it comes right out...

 

gosh, soo much work, for a tiny ___ plug. oy. gonna be a interesting project lol.

 

its easier than u think... i took the whole thing off within 5 minutes

 

yay. problem solved. was easier than i thought. ill show how to in a bit

 

ok. so i jus got pwned by a phone jack. the other day. apparently it broke inside my aux port.



so im like aw ____. what to do? well. lets began.


first off. i had to twist off my shift ****. and put the gear onto neutral so you can take off the center console



unlike the other link, yall sent me earlier, i dint have to unplug anything. wires etc.



then, i took off the cup holder. was a lil tight. but i managed. pulling from the front end. and bottom side corners



then i noticed two wires going towards the arm rest. the left one is the car power outlet, and the right one is the AUX outlet.



view from inside the arm rest. no u dont have to take out the bottom cover of the arm rest.



this is what it should look like under the center console connecting to the arm rest



ok. i did it the hard way. but imma show u the easy way to take out the aux port. first unplug the gray clip that connects to the board



now push the board forward, until it pops out inside the arm rest



ok now that u got the board out of the socket. pull out the green circuit board out of the black casing



pop out the black cover wit a small screw driver



now push out the lil silver metal plate so u can fit the screwdriver in the hole



push out the broken piece of plug



and voila. fixed.

something soo small can cause soo much mess. oy.

 

lol gg vincent.
