I just bought a 2005 LR3 and one of the previous owners had removed the mini aux jack in leiu of a 3 connector RCA AV setup. I think this was to provide a game input for the factory overhead DVD system, which is no longer there and was replaced with an Audiovox one. The wiring setup seemed to indicate that anyway.

So where can I buy a new aux input panel with the mini jack? Does anyone around here sell parts along these lines? Thanks.

turns out I was able to get one from my dealer for about $70. it used the same 12v socket from the old panel. works great (other than the low input volume which i knew would happen)

 

Hey, how did you remove the oanel to install the new? Did it just pull out or were there any hidden clips in behind? I have the original aux input panel but the kids pushed against the cable once when I left it in and broke the connector inside the plug. I've tried to pull the connector out but it is too deep and too small to grab with any tools. I need to remove the panel to get it out from the inside.

Any advice or instructions on how to remove the panel would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

If you slide out the cupholder you can grasp up under the bottom of the main panel below the audio/12v panel and pull the entire panel out - I never did get the whole thing out, it was a very tight fitting panel - anyway, since the panel wouldn't come all the way off, I pushed it back in and at the same time the aux panel popped out! Total coincidence, but it happened 3 times. Maybe that will work for you.

 

Hi chuck,

Would you be able to tell me the part number of the aux input panel? Looking to fit one in my D3 SE as it didn't have one fitted at standard. Dealer doesn't seem to be much use in locating part/part number.

I can see a male pin connector plug behind a clipped in section at the rear of the centre console.. which I'm pretty sure will be wired to the head unit aux input.

I see it was a while ago that you did this.. hoping you might have the part number still!

Thanks

Hi! I own a 2005 lr3 and was hoping you had pictures of when you replaced your aux jack head unit. Im having difficulty also and was hoping that you would have pictures. Thanks!

 

I think you need to disassemble the entire shifter assembly and the center console but I could be mis-remembering. I had to get to this area to route wires for bluetooth and I want to say you could get to the aux imput area once you take all that apart.

You will need to take floor console apart to get the bucket out of the center console so that you can get to the wiring below and around it. Check the rave documents for "floor console removal" or something.

EDIT: video has a portion that covers getting the floor console cover open, you do NOT need to do the dash console parts. I used this as a reference when opening mine up.

 

That's very helpful! Do you know where i could find a new aux jack? Any information would be much appreciated!

 

Not sure where you get a new jack but here is the other part of opening that area up.
