Anyone know of a decent 4 or 5-channel amplifier that also has a built in auxiliary audio input?
I will be getting a Pioneer AppRadio 2 and the only input it has is the USB connection for the iPod/iPhone/Android device. My Yaris has the 3.5mm audio jack built in near the parking brake lever and I'd like to be able to use that still when I get the AppRadio 2.

What do you connect to the 3.5 ?

The 3.5mm audio jack is the stock one that comes with many Yarii (located near the parking brake lever). You connect anything with a 3.5mm output / headphone jack to that.

I don't connect anything to it specifically. I want to retain use of that OEM 3.5mm input because I have passengers all the time that have audio devices with them that won't work with the AppRadio 2's USB interface, but will work just fine plugged into a 3.5mm input.
The AppRadio 2's bluetooth is only for phone functions. It doesn't have A2DP or AVRCP bluetooth profiles.
So do you know of any 4 or 5-channel amplifiers with aux inputs?

Amps no equalizers yes. Let me do a google search for what you're lookin for but I've never seen any.
Ps : exact model number of unit

Bluetooth isn't an issue. As I've mentioned, the AppRadio does not have the A2DP bluetooth profile which is required for bluetooth audio streaming.

And I'm asking for a Model number so I can do a full search on a harness that will give you another aux input. Or more options. Wiring that 3.5 directly into an amp will bypass the app radio and its equalizer.
If you wanted to do that you'd just get a 3.5 to rca splitter and go into the input of your amp. It'll sound like crap.

Or just maybe your radio has RcA inputs then bam problem solved.
Ps I know it has RCA outputs. Need 1 input

Didn't get the AppRadio 2. Went ahead and got the Pioneer AVH-P8400BH instead along with an Alpine KTP-445U 4-channel micro-amp..
Very happy with it so far. Now I just need to upgrade my speakers.
