I think both channels were de-coupled with something like a 0.22uF ceramic capacitor, typical audio stuff, and the ground was common. Cost around £6.

If the L and R channels don't have a resistive connection, "Aux" will not show in the menu on the head unit.

The key discovery for me with Aux is that on install the volume level is low for safety reasons. With Aux selected, use the buttons 1 through 6 to get the right level.
Thanks! So that is my problem the resistor. I will tackle this during this week hopefully to finally be successful! Thanks again
