My NS VR-X aux input install
Started like this
Then this. Took AC vents out with a butter knife. Easy just take your time.
Then remover the ac controls. Used a butter knife here as well. Again take you time. Easy.
Next was the display and facade. Bit tougher but managed to get it of without breaking any clips!
4 screws and the cd stacker is out. Remove the 2 plugs on the back.
Next grab the right plug and locate your wires (thanks Uncle Buck)
Cut the yellow, blue and pink from the plug leaving about 50mm to join your aux lead too.. Insulate the wires going into the loom with heat shrink or electrical tape or both.
Grab your 3.5mm stereo lead and socket. I bought a pre-made lead for looks and quality.
Strip it back and join the negatives to yellow, red to pink and white to blue.
Where you put your aux socket is up to you. I put mine in the small compartment under the flap. As below. The center goes back together in the exact reverse order of removal. Again take your time and it will look like you never touched it.
Now turn on the stereo push the CD button then press again for about 3-4 seconds. You will now have "AUX".
Plug your mp3 player in and enjoy the tunes.
Took me about a hour but if I had to do it again I reckon I'd have it done in 20 minutes. It's that easy.
Now I'm a happy camper. The stock stereo system is the first ever that I have not had to change due to crap sound.
