Your AUX INPUT jack

Where do you guys install it? I thought about the glove box...but to me its somewhat inconvenient. The center console pocket? The ash tray? I was considering the little loction between the passenger seat heater button and the Tire pressure reset button.......but i dont know.

Looking for some ideas....

My iS had it in the glove box.
If I do it, I would have it on the trim piece, housing the DSC, trunk release…. The same as your last idea.

My only concern to that is, would the trim piece get loose overtime....

I really like this location however.

I have mine in the ash tray...cheaper to replace if you mess up. It's not as simple to put it in that center trim piece as everyone thinks. That was my initial preferred location as well...until I open up that trim piece to find a full length circuit board behind it, even for the area where there are no buttons.

Can we see a pic of yours. I cant find a logical way of installing it there.

Here you go...But I hardly use it anymore after replacing my CD Changer with the GROM audio - Got 32GB worth of music on it now

Does bending the wire close to the connector had any effect on sound? I think that area is pretty thick an not that flexible. I was looking at that location. That piece actually comes out and a hole is at the side of the ash tray that goes behind the center console. That seems like the most logical place to put it though. Thanks for the pic.

I drilled it at the bottom of the ashtray. The hole on the side was for the light and I didn't want to block that. Plus, I didn't want the risk of damaging the connector by bending it 90*

Under the glove box in the passenger footwell. Out of sight, yet reachable

I have a mediabridge that among other features has a USB connector. I removed the tray for ashes and used the existing hole below to connect to the mediabridge. I didn't secure the USB connector as I wanted the cable long enough to be able to keep my iPhone charged when I play music. It's easy to get to and disappears when I close the cover. I connect by bluetooth most of the time but it is there if I need it.
