Flat AUX cable

A cheap solution to using the aux port while wanting to conceal the cable/keep the glove box closed. it's flat and tucks away nicely into the recess.

My glove box stays closed just fine with the AUX cable coming out of it.

Why are you guys still using aux cable, you can get a 3.5mm to bluetooth module and hide it in glove box!

I have the factory BT puck in my car for using my iPhone for calls. I also use the 3.5 port cable in the glove box to listen to music from my iPhone to the car. When I get a call it will automatically switch over to be able to answer calls.

So if I use one of these BT adapters for the 3.5 to listen to music what is going to happen when I get a call?

I beleive the phone won’t automatically switch back over to the puck. I think you have to select which BT device you want to use each time.

It would be great to not have the cable hanging out the glovebox.
So how or will this help in my case?

Where did you tap into for power? Was the cable long enough? What did you need to remove?

I have have the factory BT puck and a Bovee BT adapter for the 3.5mm cable. My music and phone work seamlessly; music through the Bovee and phone through the puck. Incoming calls always go through the puck - not sure how it works so well but I do see what you’re saying.

Wondering this too. How are you keeping the Bluetooth connector charged in the glovebox?

It works. I'm not into all this fancy schmancy new **** so I do what works.

I'm happy with my $100 Virgin Mobile phone that I can use to listen to Spotify through the aux cable (and text and play some games on). I don't need to **** with that Bluetooth stuff. I still use CDs that I burn in my truck since it just has a 6 disc in dash CD changer.
