ToyCar Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hey all, I want to install an AUX cable in my 1998 Ford Focus to come directly out the back of the radio, but there are so many options to chose from!! Has anyone done this and could recommend a good one to buy? I'm using a tape to 3.5mm jack adapter at the moment which is slowly killing me. I'm hoping that installing a proper AUX cable from the connectors at the back will improve the sound A LOT! Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 One of these will do the job for you - http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=330852992466 It will plug into the cd changer port on the rear of the radio. Just hide the box behind the dash and run the cable to a suitable position (usually glovebox). No need to unplug the radio as the changer port is seperate from the main loom. If the cable isn't long enough any cable with a 3.5 on one end and red/white phono connections on the other end can be used. Don't forget the radio removal keys too - http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=180744023039 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToyCar Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Ah, my radio has a cassette player not a CD player, it's that old! Do you know if the adapter will still work with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Yes, it should do. The port is for an optional CD changer so should be present on a tape unit too. Best way to be sure is pull the radio forward and look for a square port away from the main loom ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
