Aux In for 07 Maxima

[andcolom13]

Quick question:

Where can I get a cable that will connect directly from my iPod or other MP3 device into the AUX IN of a stereo for an 07 Maxima (no navi, Bose 6 disc)????

The dealer tried telling me I needed to spend about $250-$300 for a harness kit??? This doesn't seem right, considering an AUX jack is right there!!!!!

Thanks.

Hahaha, you can get one for like 10 bucks at radio shack or best buy or something. Just ask for a male to male 3.5mm headphone jack cable.

you guys sure its a 3.5mm?? I know the output on the players are 3.5mm but the car stereo seems smaller (like maybe 2.5mm).

For example, the standard headphones fit in the ipod but the 3.5mm is too big for the aux input in the car.....

This seems minor, since I pretty electronics savvy, but been out of the game for a while...

I think the one that they are reffering to might be able to charge your ipod as well. I would deff go with the radio shack option.

The headphones don't fit into the aux input on the dash? That makes no sense to me - I've never seen a car that has an aux input with a different size. Take it to radio shack anyway - have one of the guys come out to your car and look at it - radio shack people are usually pretty good at determining what you need. If it's true that it is a different size, you might have to get a 3.5 to 2.5mm jack. Really odd sounding to me though...

Alright, I get the dunce cap for the day!!!!

It is your standard 3.5mm jack. I just never wanted to "force" it there after I felt the resistance...

Going to buy a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm cable during lunch!!!

Hey, at least I was being careful with the ride...
