[@arnoldeolarte6194]

So I've had to replace my aux cable on my 2010 civic twice, the first time I messed it up but this second time I followed your instructions closely and it worked like a charm. Thanks man.

[@jjthetechguy]

I'm glad it helped Arnol!

[@magroader]

Thanks for posting this video! It gave me a lot more confidence in doing the repair myself. The part was easy to find and we got it for around $20. However, I must share my experience with the actual repair, because I had a significantly easier time than you did. I brought my needle-nose pliers and screwdrivers out to the car, ready to tear into the thing. On a whim, I just used the pliers to grab the front cover of the old auxiliary jack. I wiggled left and right while pulling outward. Wiggling must have ended up pushing in those hard-to-reach tabs, and the whole thing came right out. It took maybe 5 seconds, with no screwdriver needed or any scratching. Put the new piece on, tested it, worked perfectly, and pushed it in. The entire fix was done in under a minute. No problem!

[@zenbyo]

Colin C. You didn't have to disconnect the battery or anything did you?

[@magroader]

Nope, I just pulled out the old jack, unplugged its power, plugged in the new one, and pushed it straight back in the socket.

[@jjthetechguy]

zenbyo No I did'not disconnect the battery.

[@thatDUDEoverTHERE010]

so happy i found this...just bought a siriusxm receiver and found that my aux port was messed up

[@qwerty975311]

Bro this video is a national treasure. You even included the part number for us. Thank you!

[@jjthetechguy]

I'm glad it helped you!

[@MasterMage123]

This just started happening to my car, 6 years after I bought the damn thing, just like yours, I was ready to break something, I knew if i went to the dealer I'd get charged some stupid price, I searched here and I'm so happy i found this video, I just bought the part off ebay, Thank you for posting this.

[@kevina3127]

took no more than 10 minutes, thanks!!! i did not leave much damage like you did however. I kept prying from the sides, i found it works better with a knife (not kitchen knife). Using the plyers the "roots" came out and i kept at it with the knife from the sides, worked like a charm.

[@lorddreams469]

Thank you so much! You saved me ovet $180. The dealership was going to charge $50 part, $150 labor, + tax. Got the part on ebay for $21 with shipping and installed it in less than 1 minute - LITERALLY! Thanks again!!!

[@BravesB]

Thanks for the video JJ. Your video was helpful in getting started, but I took the advice of others in the comments and was able to just pull the front cover off and swap the internals, keeping the original housing in place. Works like a champ now, $30 part + time to repair!

[@jesselopez5000]

Thank you man. I have been listening to the radio for the past 2 months because I thought it would be harder. I'm jamming now! Thanks again!!!!!

[@tiahasan6038]

Mine in my 07 just started going bad. Found this video looking for replacement tips. Thank you!

[@shawdaman2]

Thanks for this......It only took me about 5 minutes and 25 bucks. I wouldn't have been able to to the old aux jack out without your helpful instructions! Thanks Again man!

[@MrWhenitrainsitpoors]

Thank you for posting the video and stating the prices as well as the part number. I like video you explained everything in good detail and step by step.One tip on mount like the aux uses it is very damaging to go in that direction. Please try this instead you will find it easier. First verifying the locations of the clips or screws holding the planel in place remove screws the pop the clips once you can reach the back of the plug squeeze the two prongs towards each other (against the parts body) and slide out. It may require more steps but you'll thank me later and you will have no damage to the retaining area of the aux plug.

[@roywhite8480]

Thanks for vid. Just a heads up for anyone else with this problem, on my '06 coupe, the only thing needing replacing was the audio input itself, so after popping off the "AUX" cap with a screwdriver and pulling out the audio input with pliers, I just left the "socket" piece in the car. When the new part arrived I just pulled the cap and input from the new one and put them into the old socket still in the car. Takes a little less time and is a little easier on the car.

[@gbeihl]

I figured that would probably work. The 'socket' piece is just a housing for input circuitry.

[@bernardoguevara1058]

There is a much easier (and way less damaging) way to get this done. It will probably take 5 minutes, maybe a little longer if your'e very careful. Here's what you do: 1) Grab a hold of the cover flap of the aux jack firmly with both hands and wiggle left and right. At some point you will hear a "pop", which tells you that one of the cover latches has been released. 2) At this point, apply some more force to the side that hasn't unlatched itself, while still wiggling and the whole cover should give without damaging/breaking anything. 3) Once the cover of the Aux jack is removed you will see the insides of the housing unit exposed. Take some needle nose pliers and carefully pull out the green chip. 4) On your replacement Aux jack, remove the front cover as well so you can pull out new chip. Insert that carefully (but firmly) into the existing housing unit in the car. 5) Remember to put the little "O" ring back around the jack input opening. (I think it's just a spacer). 6) Take the cover of the replacement Aux jack and snap it into place. 7) That's it--you're done. Enjoy your jams through your car's audio system!

[@TheMedengineer]

Thanks for the video. I did exactly as you described and it worked perfectly. Saved me $125!

[@sonyacoralroses1048]

Thanks for posting this video and including the part number. I ordered it today.

[@disaudio243]

Thanks so so so much for this vid. I literally just fixed it all in about two hours. Yanked it out, went to Honda, bought the part, and put it back in, and couldn't be happier.

[@megatron2535]

Thanks for the video bro! I saw you did this video a while back (2012) Although there has been other videos now (2019) showing how you can do the same thing without removing the entire compartment, you showed a great DIY video that ended up showing results that work.

[@jjthetechguy]

Thank you for the comment and I'm glad it helped!

[@megatron2535]

@@jjthetechguy you're welcome. I ended up replacing mine earlier today

[@daniels8980]

There is an easier softer way: Once you pull the internal component of the jack out (5:20) you can just remove the same part from replacement part and plug it in without needing to get the black shell out. I tried it and it worked.

[@Namydna]

I would highly recommend this method. If you take off the cover of the aux port then you can just take out the actual component and replace it with the new one. There is one clip on the top and two clips on the bottom. Again, I just recommend using a small flathead screwdriver to jiggle that cover off and replace the part and put the new cover on the module. Hope this info helps. I literally just did it myself.

[@itscarolinebetch]

THANK YOU so much for this video! Been listening to the radio for weeeks now, I am going to order this as soon as possible! So I can listen to my Pandora now haha. So helpful and detailed! Thumbed up

[@val13c59]

itscarolinebetch Pandora is dead in 2019. Spotify is the new.

[@Rent249R]

Thanks for this video and the part number. You just saved me a ton of trouble and the $100 the dealer wanted to do this work. I actually did it a little different than you did. I used a small flathead screwdriver to pry the cap off the assembly (Same thing happened at $:20 in your vid) but then I pushed the whole thing back into the dash and pulled it out the driver's side foot well. Unplugged it, and pushed the plug back up through the original hole in the dash and connected the new one.

[@herojoell]

Just what I was looking for. Thanks, on my way to doing this now.

[@Casual864]

Thanks for this. I can finally enjoy music again! :D

[@abecx]

The longer option is to pull the gauge cluster, then the stereo out and use a butter knife to push the sides in on the AUX port to pull out instead of prying against the plastic. It may take a bit longer but its easier on the dash. Thanks for the video, it helped us do ours.

[@shayneiam]

Awesome video...did it in 5 minutes! Thanks so much!

[@andrewpolitano]

Hey, thanks a lot. My pals' honda just developed this issue. Thanks for being so thorough with it and showing us all the different angles (sans focus issues :) Really great tutorial.

Very Informational thank you

[@NaTiVEGaRY27]

Just did it! :) took me like 5 minutes i guess i got lucky lol Thanks again!

[@hoodreview1179]

I actually JUST did this a few minutes ago and did it with VERY little scarring and no damage of either plug and it took me about 15 minutes... First I removed the panel below the steering wheel, removed the upper center console piece (that has the shifter bezel and tray), then the compartment above center console there is a little flap at the top I removed that. I was able to wiggle my hand in the last panel to press the tab on the left of the aux jack. That allowed one side of it to pop out. Then took a little screw driver, stuck it in the gap that created on the right and pressed the right tab. POP... came right out. Very little scarring. I have fairly large hands, so it should be possible for more. But bigger hands will have a issue.

[@PantojaManuel]

Smart guy, thanks.

[@kevincarr8434]

Kickass tutorial

[@TheJazzandbeyond]

Update/DIY protip; If you are doing this on an '06 hybrid, look up into the cubby adjacent to the jack assembly and there is an access panel you can pop that has 2 slots for a flathead/panel tool. pop tht sucker open, reach your hand behind the jack assembly, easily remove cable male end, squeeze those tabs together and push the assembly forward and it slides out with minimal effort. Take that male end through the hole for the assembly, pop it into that module THROUGH the assembly hole shove that sucker GENTLY back into it's hole right side up(with aux reading correctly) and you are done. No visible scratches and took me about a minute and thirty seconds. If you have that panel up in the top of the cubby, this job is a cinch for anyone whose hand can fit in side the space(it;s fairly roomy)

[@radiancebillups5309]

THANK YOU!!!

[@awschubert]

Just did this myself.. Went to my local Honda Dealer got the part for just over $27.00 with tax... I got a screwdriver and pulled the front off the aux. pulled out the components, stuck the screw driver in and gave the screwdriver a little twist and it popped off the little ear, did that on both sides, and it slid right out.. took me a matter of 5 mins..

[@monsterfest12345]

You can just remove the face of the old aux and take out the chip he showed you that come out and put the new one in and it'll work perfectly with out having to scratch up your car

[@AndyM.]

Hey thanks dudezilla!!!! I can use my iPod again and NOT have to listen to the radio!!!!!!!

[@jjthetechguy]

Glad this helped.

[@BAdrian787]

That's exactly what I just did I was having a hard time trying to take it out when I noticed i could see thru so I pushed it backwards and pulled it from behind clipped it out and pushed the wire back thru a lot easier than the process in this video

[@jjthetechguy]

[@trav9402]

Okay so my problem my car needs the rest of the auxiliary unit as in i guess youll call it the wiring harness from the auxiliary intput to the back of stereo. Anyone know the part number or where i can get one

[@jr5455]

I have a 2010 Honda civic with a built in aux how can I use the controls on the car (seek/skip) to change songs? Any help would be greatly appreciated

[@delaney731]

Found an easy way...rather than attempting to "pinch" out, initially, I: 1) Used pliers, and pulled the actual aux input...first the casing tore out, then the actual "innards" 2) There are two "openings" on the side...I took narrow flat head, and jammed in there to break the clasps that hold it in... 3) this pushed the who piece in, which was a little hard to fish out...used the same flat head to fish it out from behind (underneath) the console...by steering wheel those steps did little-no dmg

[@radiancebillups5309]

This is a really easy fix although I wish you would have shown how you pulled it out of the compartment because it took me 30 minutes until I just started to cut the plastic. But other than that it was really simple.

[@dondremunroe9849]

where didi you get the green wire

[@rickyrice7376]

Have you ever had the aux button on the radio stop working? I press it and it doesn’t switch to (Aux). Doesn’t do anything

[@jjthetechguy]

I made the video because I had a similar issue. Plug a cable in and play a song. Move the connector piece of the cable around and see if the aux engages (look at video from 40 secs - 1:10.) If you find that the same is happening the the aux connector is probably bad. Feel free to look at my video or more popular ones out there. I hope this helps!

Hi, I think someone commented on it but I myself did not try to do that.

[@cccc9911]

Why didnt you use the pliers in the first place???

[@jjthetechguy]

Hi C Square, you could do that at the risk of breaking the plastic around the area that holds the aux casing. I just didn't want to risk it and learned as I went.

My car is 2006 Honda civic it doesn't have this aux port it says aux but when pushing it doesn't say aux and no import for it

If you do have an aux port and you plug in a cable connected to an audio source and it doesn't display aux then the aux port probably needs to be replaced.

Alex Otero Yeah, I had a friend help me out with this problem a couple of months back. He's much bolder than I am when it comes to dismantling expensive machinery. We took apart the dash and everything. We forgot to put a couple of screws back in, but everything worked out fine.

[@laellasha4471]

I know you’re trying to help, but, you are doing this incorrectly. Remove the door from the Aux port, pull out the circuit board, replaced it with the circuit board from the new Aux port. Reinstall the door....simple. Do not damage your dashboard by trying to pull out the whole assembly, Most importantly, do not take advise from someone who can’t pronounce the name of the part they’re replacing.

[@Chris-hd3yc]

You tore that up bro, don't do this! Use the proper plastic panel tools and a pick.
