Would you just take a cord for headphones.... a cord for the aux connections.. cut them... and then splice them together?

I dont know if that would work.. I'm not super educated in electronics... Since you do have 2 sets of wire connecting to 1...??

FIRST YOU NEED THE RCA TO HEADPHONE CABLE YOU WOULD HAVE TO CUT THE RED AND WHITE RCA. HERES A PIC WHERE TO CUT.



OK AFTER YOU CUT THE RCA YOU NEED TO SPLICE THE RED AND WHITE SIDES AFTER YOU HAVE SPLICED THE TWO SIDES YOULL SEE THAT YOU HAVE IN EACH SIDE THE GROUND WIRE AND A WHITE OR RED WIRE. FIRST SEPERATE THE GROUND WIRE BEFORE SPLICING THE WHITE OR RED WIRE. SO YOU WILL HAVE 2 WIRES IN EACH SIDE
THE GROUND AND THE RED OR WHITE WIRES. SO IN TOTAL YOULL HAVE 4 WIRES. OK NOW YOU NEED TO TWIST THE GROUND WIRS IN BOTH SIDES TOGETHER

ONCE YOU DO THAT YOU WILL HAVE 3 WIRES AND IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS .



IN THE PIC ABOVE SHOWS WERE I CIRCLED THE CONNECTORS. YOU WILL NEED TO BUY THOSE AND CONNECT THEM TO THE RED AND WHITE AND GROUND WIRES. AND THEN JUST INSERT THEM IN THE SPACES OF THE HARNESS .

I WILL TRY TO PUT UP SOME REAL PICS OF ME DOING IT OK SORRY IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND IT .

No, you can't. It's against site rules. So stop it. That's WHY we have the all-caps filter on the site...

there called female terminals and you can buy them like at radio shack or any other car stereo place. and they need to be small so theyll fit in the connector housing.

ill be getting real pics soon

I'm really interested in trying this myself but I can not identify the type of female terminals used. Does anyone here who has the real one or tried this and made it work have a pic of the female terminals? A close up would be real helpful.
