Hi everyone -
These forums have really helped me with learning about my 2006 Scion xA. I have searched around a bit and haven't been able to figure out a stereo install question and hope folks can help:

I have stock pioneer stereo



that looks like this on the back:



as you can see I was able to take it out of the dash no prob (using instructions from this forum.

The AUX port by the emergency brake does not have a cable running out of it.

This is the port I am referring to (I don't have a photo so I grabbed off the net:




So I bought one:



My question is, How do I attach this? The cable I bought looks like it plugs into the back of the AUX port, which I was able to remove, but how do I connect it to the head unit? Are there some wire harnesses in the emergency brake area that I can connect it to? Do I need a second cable?

I haven't taken the entire center console apart yet to look around, I thought I would ask for some help first. THANK YOU anyone who can give some guidance here.

hi again


ok so sadly I just found out that the cable I bought, despite what I thought was thorough research, does not actually fit into the aux port. Here is the port and the back with the connector:





I guess I need to start from scratch here!

Any ideas?

Thanks - Will

 

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it - thanks!

 

been ten years so i will direct op to picture of back of t1801 above........it has no cd1 plug for the aux to plug into.cd1 allows you to plug in aux and or usb inputs as well as having 3 wires for steering wheel controls. You will need to go with t1804, 1805,1806 or 1807 oem hu that all have cd1 option.

 

well thank you for the time traveling reply I appreciate it.
I no longer have this problem, the cable, the stereo, or the car. Or that sweater.
THANKS
