Oh right cheers, was kind of hoping it was going to be for another aux plug ha as mines in glove box, I ve already fed a lead behind dash and up into arm rest but it's a pain trying 2 change songs, any ideas??

Hi there, I have been looking at this already mate but when I've looked at the back of the head unit there's no slot for the lead that comes from the USB/aux gadget, my unit is a CD6000, so that's why I didn't order it

just run a cable from the aux socket in the glove to the back of this - there is a 3.5mm port at the back of it. You could also fit a 12v to 5v power converter to the usb, so you could charge your device from the usb too

Just 1 question now I've looked at the converter where would I wire the ends 2 ??

red (+) connect to a piggy back fuse, choose whether you want it permanently live or ignition switched live and find a fuse on you internal fuse box to piggy back off:

and black (-)to any part of the car body/existing earth point/existing earth wire

Cheers for all your help did you permanent live or ignition live?? And could you use the fuse box on passenger side? Shame you don't have a guide haha thanks jonny

I haven't done it, I retrofitted Bluetooth and USB support to mine, I don't use the aux jack, just making some suggestions. Its up to you whether you go for an ignition switched live or permanent. I have used a power converter like the one I posted for my dash camera. Yes you use the passenger fuse box
