Auxiliary Input Help

That's also nuts that it's more expensive in the US than in Canada. Usually we pay through the teeth for car stuff. And he definitely said that the old price he had on file was around $85, which is still cheaper than your price. You could pretty much buy an aftermarket stereo for $104.

The part number difference must be what my dealer had mentioned. I'd have to go check the invoice in the glove box to see what the final part number was, but that 52040 number looks familiar.

The Sedan and Liftback use different Aux jacks. The part number above is correct for the Liftback (06-09). For some reason the LB one has a higher list price than the sedan one.

The Sedan one is: 86190-53010 (06-08) and 86190-48010 (09).

Thanks for the clarification. That is good to know, but unfortunate for Oned.

My plug is a little different

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.

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.

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.
