Can you not just use one of these.

 

USB to 3.5mm Jack Adapter, AUX To USB Adapter 3.5mm Male Audio Jack, USB to Aux Audio Converter Cable Adapter Car Stereo Cable, Audio/MP3/CD Player/External U Disk/Speaker | BLACK: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

Aside from the fact that at most you would need an adapter "the opposite" of what you tell me, i.e. AUX input and USB output, I had clearly specified that I was not interested in hearing "use Bluetooth" (or use USB - which is the same thing).
I would like to activate the AUX input on the SYNC2, thanks anyway

      The easiest place to take the MS can is from the heater module. If I remember rightly it's the blue plug.  Pin 18 grey & orange on the heater module goes to pin 16 on the sync module.  P

      Thanks! If anyone has any questions I’m more than happy to help!  It took me 10 hours to do but that was with some figuring out along the way, I reckon if I was to do it again I could do it in ha

    Ah yes, I sent you a link for the opposite. Sorry about that. How about this one.

    When I upgraded my sync 2 I used the Focus usb hub which doesn't have the aux port. There are two different types for the Focus, one is a 4 pin connector and the other is 8 pin. I am not sure if the one with 8 pins has the aux port.  The one for the Kuga has the aux port, sd card slod and 2 x usb's. You would need to get a usb hub from a Kuga which has a 12 pin connector and then make the additional wiring connections to make the aux port work.

    I have the pin out for the Kuga usb media hub if you need it.

    Thanks Martin, that could be the adapter, we need to understand if it works, that is, if it is recognized by SYNC2.
    What I need is not knowing where to connect the wires of the AUX socket, I know that very well, I have all the wiring diagrams, what I need is to enable the AUX function in SYNC2, that is, to make the Line-in or AUX input button appear in the list of multimedia sources...
