Aux 3.5mm/USB input for original CD head unit? What are my options today in 2022?
Hello, complete newbie here.
I have done a bit of a search and found some older threads about this.
I was able to find out that the firmware version for my head unit is 9.67. It has the 6 disc changer.
This car is stock, no mods at all, so I prefer to get something that I can simply plug in. I don't want to muck about with soldering & wiring diagrams, etc.
I had an FM transmitter, but it keeps turning off so I would like to find a better solution other than listening to CDs all the time.
I would like either a 3.5mm audio input and/or usb. I don't need bluetooth.
I'd just like to know what my options are because it appears some of those aux kits are now discontinued.
Is there something cheap available?

welcome!
moving this to the Audio sub-forum in hopes someone there can answer.
I haven't looked into adapters much but I would think the 3.5 is getting more difficult to locate as man phones are now eliminating the headphone jack. I know you said you don't need bluetooth but that might be the easiest route for you even if just to stream music that's downloaded on your phone.
