Hi guys,

My wife and I both got new phones that have MP3 players on them. The phones are LG VX8600. Could someone please help me find a cable that will allow the use of the MP3 player to be played in the car via the AUX input.

The car is a Stock 06 Civic 4DR EX non-navi.

Thanks ahead of time.

 

anyone?

I did it with my Alpine CDM-86something in my old car. There was a CD-changer input cable that you could buy an adapter to put a 3.5mm stereo plug on the other end, then I bought a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter (to fit the headset port on a cell phone) and connected it to my smartphone. Internet radio in the car FTW!

 

Whats a good one and where can I get this type, oh and what is it called so I dont look like a fool in the store.

 

I really doubt you would want to hear that amplified.

well me personally i just use the cheap stuff. the cable is available at radioshack and other places im just to tired to list... just ask for a 3.5 mm stereo cable.

 

OK Cool, Appreciate the help guys. I wish the port was the same on my F-150, its in the back of the radio

 

You do know that your LG VX8600 supports stereo bluetooth... if you want to go wireless.
It's a more expensive option.
However, I recommend wired connections for most audio applications.

Actually in this case if the stereo supports bluetooth I would go with the digital bluetooth connection over an analog signal.

 

Thats beyond my budget. We just want to use the AUX input for the factory radio.

 

use a 1/8 male to 1/8 mail cable. you might need an adaptor though to convert from the phone's headphone jack which may be a different size. I am not sure about the phone's specifications. Make a trip up to radio shack, they should be able to help you put something together.

Correction. They won't be able to help you with jack ****. None of the Radio Shacks I've been to know anything. Like John666 said just walk in and ask for the 3.5mm double male cable.

 

i said *should* not *will* lol
