Check your glove box for an aux input

I have aux input, what cable do i need to buy?

samaritrey

ok something like this

Its a 3.5mm aux input cable I have heard people in stores call them many things but to make it simple for you it looks like a headphone jack on both sides.

This won't let you control your device from the HU or steering wheel but will play the music and calls through the speakers mic duty is still integrated mic on phone. But since you use Bluetooth it should use that instead anyway.

It's unfortunate that we cannot bluetooth stream music in our cars. A simple auxiliary cable will do the trick for you but as stated you won't be able to control it through the head unit or steering wheel controls. For that to happen you would have to go with a little more expensive route and install an ipod kit in the glove box.

Thanks guys got the aux and works great just a little annoying cant control using headunit.

samaritrey

Heck even the ipod kit you can't control on the HU you have to use IC and steering wheel it is super annoying I really wish I could rip it out and go back to AUX in.

Now i noticed original wheels have gutter marks...anyone in aus know where i could get the rims from? got quoted 1k to fix the wheels, surely there is a cheaper option?

beejAMG

hello mate! where abouts in Aus are you?

silentmerc

Syd mate you?

beejAMG

Syd as well. Are you looking for OEM wheels or afternarket? A photo of your car would be great. Cheers!

pretty much stock standard.


the OEM rims are scratched got a quote $900 to repair...don't know if it's worth repairing them or not

beejAMG

Very nice car. Is that quote for all four wheels? Im not sure where you can get those but try ebay, you might be able to buy a descent set for AU$900.

silentmerc

That was the price for all 4, will give Ebay a go got any independant mechanic you can recommend in sydney for servicing etc?

beejAMG

try Eurostar Motors at North Strathfield. look for Al. a bit pricey but very honest bloke.
