Pinout for Aux Input on LX

[kulotzki]

Practically did what was instructed. But my unit does not detect my aux source. What seems to be the problem? Thanks

2. Here is the pins assignment from honda taken from civic-eu model (this would be the same for all civic as it exactly the same for my civic-thailand model)
b3 = aux sgnd (ground for the signal)
b4 = aux sh gnd (shielding ground for preventing the signal interference from other devices)
b5 = aux gnd (aux detection wire for switched type female jack)
b13= aux l (left signal)
b14 =aux r (right signal)
b15 = aux det (aux detection wire for switched type female jack)
i'm really sure about the pins assignment but i'm not sure about the function of those pins.


3. This step you need one cd-rom cable with a socket taken from another cable. Route the wires as shown in the fig.


4. This step will finish the aux cable but you would think about where to place this thing in your car. So you should skip this step and go to step#5-6 then get back to complete this step.

Connect the other end to the mini-jack cable by inserting three pieces of hard wire between those female socket. Now you are done with the aux cable.


5. I would suggest you to hide this cable in the transmission pocket. Remove the pocket and route the wire as shown in fig.


6. Route the wire as shown in fig. Then go to step#4


congratulation! You now have the aux.

it may be a different config for that model, get urself a multimeter and go to work

This worked well for me. I followed someone elses suggestion of using "paper clips". I just cut the paper clip wire to length (about 1 inch), made a small loop at one end. Then took an old set of head phones cut the male 3.5mm jack and wire off and sodered the wires to the paper clip pins. (one left, one right and one ground) I made a U shape with another piece of paper clip and used it to jumper 5 and 6. Plugged them all in to the white jack as explained about the paper clips fit nice and snug. Then I used electrical tape to isolate and seal everything up.

It has taken me long to type this respone then it took me to do the wiring. Great information thanks to everyone.

Nice DIY! Just did this today, and it worked perfectly. Didn't spend a penny, just took some paper clips and some broken head phones that I had laying around and works like a charm. Thanks!!

alright i have the center console my civic 06 lx sedan taken off..connected pins 5 and 6 to each other and now i can switch between cd and aux just fine.

the problem is when i try to play music from my iphone (using headphone jack as i dont have a dock right now), i don't hear anything at all unless i crack the stereo all the way up to max volume, in which case i can hear JUST BARELY hear very very very low sound playing through. i am using the headphone wire to paperclip method and have checked to make sure i inserted them into the right connectors.

is the EXTREMELY low volume (cranked on my iphone and on the civic stock stereo to max volume) because i'm not using a dock with aux out? or am i looking at faulty headphone wires?

nevermind. tried 2 more headphones with the same issue. switched to an actual aux cable and now i have full volume.
