Fixing the Aux Audio Port in a Toyota Tundra

[@Uppermost_1]

This must be a very common issue. Mine started doing this on my 08' Tundra a few years ago. It's very frustrating. Thanks for making the video, I'll be doing this repair tonight

[@donwhiteside2477]

This is FABULOUS! Followed his guidance, fixed the part in 20 minutes! Thank you!

I found video useful for starting. My 2007 Tundra had 4 screws holding the center cup holder. Remove two screws on front lower part of cup holder (right abovtil it pops out and the cupholder will come out. From thier I followed video to remove the Aux jack modual and put in a new one from Amazon ($31 tax and shipping included). Jack works great now. total fix time 35 minutes which included finding the 4 screws and taking it slow. Thanks Dave

Great discovery and fix. I was toying with dropping $200-300 on a new head unit just to have reliable auxiliary input via Bluetooth but I did this instead in 10 minutes and will go back to a $15 Bluetooth adapter.

Thanks so much! This fixed my aux jack on our Matrix, which was driving us crazy. We would eventually have had an accident plugging/unplugging our cable while driving, so we're really grateful!

[@TannerTech]

Your Welcome! Glad I could help.

[@oscarv.7986]

Tried this today on a 2007 Tundra. Worked like a champ. Thank you!

[@jagtar10]

I was almost going to buy new one. It did work after fixing. Awesome!

[@narrsec]

Thanks this helped me realize it wasn't the aux button that was nonfunctional but instead the aux input.

[@lancegriffin8096]

Great video. Thanks Tanner

[@davidfloyd3634]

Just what I needed to fix the Aux jack. Very easy procedure. Thanks for posting this.

[@WhoistheDosXMan]

I had the same issue, your video saved me from buying a replacement. Thanks

[@rfreyder]

just noticed mine wasn't working today and followed this video. Seems to be working fine now. I had to pry the ciggie lighter panel off with a flat head screwdriver. Came in from the bottom passenger side. then man handle it straight out. The tabs on the aux in module are on the top and bottom so I could only push the bottom one in but I was still able to yank it out. I didn't add much solder I just "reflowed" what was there. Thanks Tanner.

[@petercaruso6312]

Have the same truck. Seems like a common problem thanks for the video.

[@danielzavala1986]

I saw a couple of different videos and this one helped me out the most. Thanks.

[@TannerTech]

Your welcome, glad I could help.

[@AroniousP]

Got the same problem, now I know what to do cause these damn things are expensive as hell to replace a new unit! $12 for a soldering kit and good as new 👌 Thanks for the vid!

[@alvinferguson8411]

Thanks for the detail.. I have a question along the lines of your video. When I pulled the insert out I noticed 2 other wires not connected.. what could I use those for? Thx

[@flyguy_aviation]

Very helpful, thanks Tanner Tech!

[@thepalacio]

This worked great on my 2008! Thanks again.

[@mc6078]

Thanks very helpful

[@getisboy]

I just did the same repair on a 2008 xB. At least on mine, the radio uses pins 8 and 9 to determine if a cable is plugged in. With nothing plugged in, there's some resistance between the two. With a cable in place, there's continuity. I wound up soldering the two pins together, so now I can switch to the aux input regardless of whether anything is plugged in, and the car doesn't intermittently switch off of that input.

[@sbrooks904]

Thank you for this! Had no clue how to open the casing

[@metalslingr]

I have this exact problem on my 2008. Thanks!

[@carson3838]

how would i do this on one with the cup holder under it

[@texassteer]

How’d you get the port out?

[@junaidnk8701]

Hey, my solder joints do look fine, nothing seems wrong with the circuit board. Any suggestions?

[@TannerTech]

The problem could be inside the jack, in that case, you might need to buy a new one and solder it in. The problem could also be within the amplifier.

[@41585elviejo]

Worked great thank you

[@7152pugs]

Thanks for the fix!

[@24laguneros]

Thanks man saved me some 💰💰

[@ryangunderson7363]

I slid a small hook tool under and behind the bottom edge of the panel, twisted 45 degrees to bring the hook straight-up (vertical) and then just pulled straight back. I repeated this on the left and right sides and it popped out the panel with no scratches or broken plastic clips. Another tip - let the soldering iron spend some time on each point of the circuit board. This lets the solder melt deeper into the cracked connections for a better fix.

[@gixxerkelly7365]

Thank you! This saved me a $100

[@brandomguess]

That's it?! Shoot, I can fix this now too, thanks!

[@TannerTech]

No problem, good luck!

[@piyushgupta5013]

Hi Tanner Tech, I have a 2007 Toyota Camry XLE and I am having a same problem that my aux is not being detected. Everything else works. I believed it was the aux port with some loose connection which I can solder. However, to my surprise, the aux post is perfectly fine. I ever verified it with a new aux port. I have verified that there is no problem with the music source, aux cables (tried multiple), aux port (tried with a new one as well), what else could be the issue. Could it be at the stereo end? I can't switch to aux mode even from the steering wheel.

[@blakeepperson3902]

I ordered a new circuit board and installed it, still doesn’t work. Is it possible my cable is the problem?

[@sozonpv]

yeah this is not my problem either, not sure what's causing it to fault out, i just wiggle it while swerving on the road to get it to work. i wish it were this easy. The problem is elsewhere. Did you ever figure yours out?

[@blakeepperson3902]

I got a better cable. It worked for awhile but now it’s starting to cut out pretty bad. Not impressed with the quality of my Tacoma. Overrated

[@puuxexil]

More stimulating talk radio?

[@TannerTech]

You got it, KFI AM 640

[@H3lp3d]

does anyone happen to the know the wiring schematic for these? its hard to believe 4 wires go into an aux port that usually uses 2 wires

[@francoishudon8028]

Juste repairs mine, two pins dont have any solder, i fix It , Thank to you

[@donaldlove4207]

Just fixed this on a 2008 Sequoia. I had purchased a new AUX assembly a year ago and it started doing the same thing. WIsh I had seen this video then.

[@TannerTech]

Wow, those parts must just be bad quality...

[@WestMack]

What if you don't have a Saturn iron

[@littlespoon61]

what about a saturn ion?

[@geejeff1974]

Hi, we have same aux audio part, would you like to the reviewer of our product?

[@mattmovesmountains1443]

I was about to buy a new stereo. I did this in 10 minutes and I dont do any work on my car or its stereo. I almost bought a new receiver

[@essi27961]

Any one notice low volume from there aux?

[@thejellster05]

Great video. I can’t solder but found the part for $15 on amazon

[@rainerobinson1437]

Do you have the link?

[@LarryB-inFL]

Really poor demonstration of removal, etc. You paid NO attention to what the camera could see.

[@dugglas29]

Larry B Lol. Definitely hard to follow BUT it did help me figure out how to remove the auxiliary plug. Tough

[@grayerlacher]

I had the exact same defect. Must be a manufacturing problem.

[@alacazaba]

I can't really see what tabs you're taking about for jack removal, your hands get in the way unfortunately.

[@dugglas29]

alacazaba I thought the same thing! Lol

[@mynamejef7963]

thanks this shit has been annoying af

[@cxmpevoke9493]

Where are the fuckin tabs

[@brianwellingtonlewis]

Seems too dramatic
