Auxilary jack? - Toyota Yaris Forums

otterhere · 11-14-2008, 09:39 AM

I have no idea what an MP3 player is and am pretty sure I'll never have any use for this particular add-on, but can this jack be used for anything else?

Cassette tape or CD Walkman, for instance? Something I acutally own???

Yes, it will work for anything with an audio output that can be adapted to a 3.5mm jack.

Cool!

If you have a GPS you can plug it in and play through the speakers as well.

My Sirius is plugged into the mp3 jack.

Well my sidekick has a plug on the top but its a regular 3.5 jack for like headphones and stuff, just like the one on the iphone, i usually just use my phone as a MP3 player and then when i get a call the music fades off and pauses and all phone audio gets transferred onto my car's speakers, i just pick up and i have instant in-car speaker phone! (with bass

) and then when im done i just hang up and the music un-pauses and starts playing again!

My phone works the same way, I have a Sony Ericsson walkman phone, I especially wanted the aux jack to listen to my mp3's, but it was a nice surprise to receive a phone call and be able to listen to the other party through the speakers.

What is this "cassette tape" or "Walkman" thing you speak of??

J/K

Dude, tapes haven't been used for 15-20 years. And I didn't think people actually still used CD's. They are ridiculously inconvenient (only holds like 10-18 songs, lol) which means you have to carry crap loads of them and fumble around switching them.

An MP3 player (Apple owns the market with it's iPod) is a portable digital media player that basically holds compressed digital media on a hard drive or flash drive. You have heard of an iPod, right? If not, I will have to see that rock you've been under all these years. A 120GB iPod Classic, for example, holds 30,000 songs and is the size of a cassette tape.

If you listen to music, an MP3 player is as essential as the music itself.

I got a 2.5 to 3.5mm conversion piece from Radio Shack and plug in my phone and listen to MP3's that way through the AUX jack.

Treyz · 11-23-2008, 11:20 AM

In my 26 years of life .. I was born into the 8 track fading out, then cassettes, then the fading out of cassettes to CD's, then the minicd's came following the MP3 where everyone burnt their CD's tp now MP4's. Onlything I missed out on was the record which is still in use today by some DJ's lol.

SilverBack · 11-23-2008, 09:24 PM

I say we join the old with the new. Let's all plug-in our 8-tracks to the aux jack

And is any of it really any better than what came before? Technology is moving so fast no one (but the very young and very rich) can keep up, and all just for the sake of "something new"... I'm digging in my heels with my cassette tapes. Thank heavens I have that auxilary jack to play them...

Treyz · 11-24-2008, 01:03 PM

Some of my best albums are on cassettes lol!

Just too damn lazy to download them to my PSP (which is one of the AUX jacks in my car is used for).

I split my AUX jack up when I added the aftermarket radio so I could have one for the Sirius and the other for the PSP.

mfratt · 11-30-2008, 10:57 AM

I wanna get one of those mini amps and play guitar through the car speakers. That would be sweet.

mike_moss · 01-22-2009, 07:53 AM

Where is the AUX port? Is there one on the back of the OEM MP3-capable head unit?
