Question

Is is possible to get an aux jack installed into a car stereo?

Answer 1

almost all factory car stereos have a "plug" in the back to allow for input. you need to get with the dealer of your car make and get the adapter. (they put them in for CD changers and stuff.) or like someone else suggested, you could get an FM adapter and use that. i have a Sony 5000 series with an aux jack in the faceplate, makes it really easy to switch from my mp3 player to my portable media device to my satellite radio.

Answer 2

Install Aux Port In Car

Answer 3

Aux Cord Best Buy

Your best bet if you don't want to go through installing an aux cable port is to buy a radio transmitter. Go to radioshack/walmart or look online for the best one for you. A radio transmitter uses your radio to utilize an empty station and transmits your music from your iPhone/iPod to that station, and all you need is a cigarette lighter to power the transmitter usually. Some will even charge your iPhone. The only catch is some of the transmitters aren't great quality, and since the music is being transmitted wirelessly it may get a bit of static. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Answer 5

If you only have a CD/radio and no cassette or aux jack, then you're stuck with an FM transmitter. This plugs into the headphone jack on the phone and transmits wirelessly to an unused FM frequency on the car radio. Not the best solution, but I think it's your only one.

I found the best thing since sliced bread...http://www.crutchfield.com/S-9oDEWuNVIo6/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=142FMMOD01



It's not wireless so there's no interference. Not to be confused with an FM transmitter. Basically it adds an AUX input to ANY radio. No searching for a clean channel.



It feeds your audio signal from a headphone jack ( or RCA cables) by FM modulation, directly into the antenna input on your radio bypassing the antenna when on, allowing the radio to work as normal when off. It comes with an On/Off switch.





This is the answer. Totally versatile.

Answer 11

Almost all aftermarket stereos have an aux jack for a CD player that can be used by an mp3 player. A lot have ipod controls or a headphone-style jack that you can plug into. Adding one to your factory stereo is not going to happen, sorry. About the only option there is to get one of those FM transmitters.

Answer 12

You need to tell us what kind of car you have. If you are looking to hook up your mp3 player there is a way to connect it to your radio. The part only works on certain cars though. Another option is to get a fm modulator from crutchfield.com. They have one just for mp3 players that will connect to the back of any cars radio.



If you plan on getting an aftermarket stereo then you can find that most new stereos actually have an aux port on them. Again i will need to know what kind of car you have to tell if you can get one to fit. Almost all cars will be able to fit an aftermarket system in them though. You may just need a mounting kit and wiring harness to put it in though. These can be bought at a best buy/circuit city if you buy your radio there though.



Some good brands for aftermarket stereos would be Pioneer and Alpine. I would recommened Alpine if you have an ipod because they have good integration between an ipod and their units. If it is just a mp3 player then i recommend a Pioneer. They make very good head units and all of their new units will have a aux input on the front. Good Luck!!!

Answer 13

Definitely. Some stereos actually come with the aux. jack pre-installed. Like, for example, the Exad stereo by JVC. That's what I use and it works great for MP3 and multimedia players.

Answer 14

you could actually get an aftermarket stereo with an aux jack built in. just go to your local best buy. they'll take care of everything 4 u

Answer 15

Yes you can. Any car audio place will tell you what you'll need. If you don't have an aftermarket CD player, you may have to buy one. But, depending on the year, you might not.
