This is the AUX in jack project.
The advantages of a switching jack over a regular jack is that when an aux cable is plugged in, the XM radio is completely disconnected, this removes the 'bleeding over' of signals from other inputs. I've read that that happens sometimes, and I wanted to avoid that.
It sounds on par with FM radio pickup and XM.
Things that I should have done/done better.
-Choose a Cat5 cable that was male-female, connect the end, and do my wiring in the middle of the length. This would let me completely disconnect the circuit, just as a failsafe.
-If I plug my phone in for power and music at the same time, I hear the dreaded 'alternator whine'. I am not pleased with that, but for right now, I'm content with my music.
Also, I plasti-dipped the bowtie.
never hesitate to ask or shoot one of us a PM if you have questions or issues.
