[QUOTE="netdefender1, post: 8676948, member: 677204"] Just started driving an 05 Accord and looking to add 3.5mm aux. Here's what I've gathered after poking around the web: -There is an auxiliary port on the bottom of the radio that can be accessed by unscrewing some of the console. -There are products sold on eBay and Amazon for $25 that have a white plug that fits the port under the radio, runs to a small box and then a 3.5mm cable comes out the other end. Most of the 1 star reviews say that the sound stopped coming out of the back speakers or one of the sides after a week or so. Here are my questions: -What kind of plug is the port on the radio? Does it have a name/is it Honda specific? Can I buy that plug anywhere? -Does this port come before the preamp or do I need some kind of preamp? -I'm guessing that the little box is just a conversion point for the wiring? Ultimately I would love to build a simple solid piece that connects the aux port to a 3.5mm female so that I can plug a standard aux cord into it. Can't really tell if this project is over-ambitious for me. It also feels like this conversation peaked around 2011 and I don't know what parts are even available. Any answers / insight / ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm excited to resolve this. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
