Auxiliary Input Help

My plug is a little different

[Oned]

2-Red 1-Black 1-White 1-Grey are the wires connected to it. Do you think if i gave them part number 86190-53010, the one you got, i would be able to use it for my plug?

You could actually make your own for a couple of dollars.


Pin 1 - White - Left Audio
Pin 2 - Red - Right Audio
Pin 3 - Black - Audio Ground
Pin 4 - Red - Input Switch (Connect to ground {pin 3} to enable aux on radio)
Pin 5 - Grey - Shield


Buy one of these for $2.49, and install it in a more practical place than the OEM one (like in the driver's glove box):

It would require soldering wires from the connector's wires (either clipping the wires from the connector or splicing to them) to the terminals on the jack.

Lol its crazy how toyota can charge Dave 30 dollars for practically the same item they are charging me 104 dollars. Its a piece of plastic with a wire all together probably cost 1 dollar to make. The question is, is the grey plug i found connected to my stereo.

Yea im thinking of getting the Aux input jack from toyota but the final problem is if this grey cable with the plug that is going to plug up to the aux input is even compatible with the stereo i got from toyota. That is, is the wiring in my car compatible with the stereo. Im not sure about this because when I bought my yaris it did not include a radio but I bargained and finally got a radio. Toyota said the radio I got belonged to a 4 runner. I hope the yaris wiring, the grey plug i posted the picture of, is connected to the back of the stereo they installed.

Do you know what the red input switch wire (the AUXI/O) actually does? Is it something that the IEBus/AVCLan recognizes?

I'm wondering if it could be connected to the TX+ on the 12 pin port for the CD Changer to get an auxiliary-in at that point, basically doing the same thing the PIE adapters do.


Sorry to hijack the thread, but this is something I've been very curious about :)

It is just a switched input that tells the radio that an AUX device exists so that when you press the AUX button it will switch to AUX mode. The easiest thing to do with it is to simply ground it.

So I took my dash apart, and took out the stereo. There were 2 plugs and 1 little metal plug, plugged into the stereo. I tried to follow the grey pug I had found under the trim next to the E break but I could not follow it all the way. My question is, is the grey plug I found that is suppose to be where i plug in the auxiliary input jack i am going to buy from toyota attached to the 2 plugs i found behind the dash attached to the stereo? I dont want to buy the input jack from toyota for 104 dollars and then it turns out the grey plug was not connected to the stereo. If you look at the picture i posted of the back of my stereo, the 2 plugs are attached to the plugs on the right hand side of the stereo. The 2 input plugs on the left side of my stereo are not in use.

The ones in your picture are D10 (10 pins) and D11 (6 pins). The Aux input feeds into connector D74 (20 pin connector, with only 5 used). Since you have the other end of cable for D74 in place, I would pull the radio (and maybe the AC controls) and look down below for the connector.

My '09 5-door LB has a different looking plug as well for the aux. jack. My '07 3-door LB had that gray, four-wire version pictured in posts above.
