glovebox 3.5mm audio in mod

[spl383]

I have not seen anyone do this it was easy to do and works great.  Bought a 3.5mm flush mount on amazon and drilled a hole in the glove box and hooked the 3.5mm female to the 3.5mm male that is behind the glove box.

Yes i connected it to the Audio connection for the Sat Nav.  Now I can use a small mp3 player to play music.

I did something similar.  I Y’d off from my gps output so that I still have music and directions from gps when I outride the sena’s battery

spl383,

Thanks for clarifying that 

For the benefit of anyone contemplating this,
note that when Audio is being played via this "NAV" connection,
other Sources such as Radio, iPod / USB, cannot be selected
unless the NAV Audio playing is stopped.

I don't have this problem.  With the mp3 connected and playing I can still toggle between fm radio, xm radio and the NAV(my mp3 player)

That's very strange !   

The Audio system is designed so that when NAV Audio is playing
it over-rides the other Audio sources !

Page 40 of the Audio Handbook :

Note:

• Audio output from the navigation system is treated in
the same way as a regular navigation system announcement -
it will always override any other selected source.

• Selecting a different source or radio waveband will not pause NAV Audio playback.

To stop NAV Audio playback, stop or pause the playback on the navigation system.
