See attached Aux Cable Rear.jpg the red circled connector is where I inserted the the DIY aux cable, imprinted with the numbers 8377064. The rear cable goes from Bottom to Top as Ground, then I believe L, R or could be the other way around but L & R does not matter reversed or not.
The DIY Aux Cable was made with the correct values on each component as I tested the resistor with MultiTester to be 330kOhm and the capacitor being .220uF. This Aux cable is my 2nd revision as I had 3x100kOhm resistors at first.
When I connected at first I had 3x100k Ohm resistors connecting pin 1 and 2 and each pin connecting to the their correct pins on the rear cable but Aux did not show up, only showing TR and Radio, then I tried connecting my phone on with the 3.5mm jack. That's when the first time the radio blackout, then turned off the car and removed the aux cable the radio came back after turning on the car again. I thought I had plugged it in on the wrong way so I flipped the DIY Aux cable and plugged in the other way and the radio blackout again after turning on the car. So I unplugged it and replaced with a 330k Ohm resistor and tried it one more time and then this time the radio would not come back again, plus after 2-3 tries with the new aux cable my battery was drained out which I had to jump start with my other car to recharge the battery.
Currently, I had 5 fuses removed relating to the radio for the whole night, didn't take the battery off because I wanted to see if anything else was draining the battery and luckily nothing had drained the battery overnight. So, this morning I took the battery off as well for about 1 hour then plugged everything back in but the radio is still blackout on me. When I turn on the car, the radio is running but the controls on the MID does not work and there's no display on it.
Hopefully someone can come up with a solution for this as to why this is happening. The rear cable looks to be the correct one and there's imprinted the numbers 8377064 on it. Thank you.
