Okay forgive my lack of knowledge but what cord was he using to initially test whether sound was going to come out and what was the buttons set to om the front? If it was the aux cord can someone explain to me how an aux cord was producing sound without the other end being connected to a device? And if he is connecting to radio won't the radio and device come thru the speakers at the same time? I'm so confused.
I think I wired an old telephone cord to some rca coaxial jacks. I plugged the rca jacks into an adapter from radio shack that allowed me to plug them into a 1/8 inch standard headphone audio jack. The other end was stripped and soldered to make them more stiff for poking. The tips have to go to the ground connector on the headphone jack and one of the positive audio feed connectors.
Ben Joiner can you give me some pointers? I found the row of pins where the fm out put is hiding. Two of the pins beeped when I tested with continuation on my multi meter. These are my grounds right? I took a headphone wire and it has 4 wires inside it, two colored and two copper. So I suddered the two copper to the two grounds and then poked with the two colored wires and can't get a signal. Am I doing something fundamentally wrong?
I have another video on doing this in an automobile radio which you might find helpful. You want to test for continuity from the pins over to a known ground. These are the kinda large nodes at the corners usually. Also the radio antenna housing is usually a ground. The making of the poking tool is probably best covered in the other video. ua-cam.com/video/NflinO7lojI/v-deo.html
Ben Joiner When a pin beeps that means it is ground right? Also I noticed you used both ear bud wires. Any reason for that? I just cut the wire before it splits to the two ear buds. Also do the size of the wires matter? The wires from these ear buds seem crazy thin.
The ear buds are made differently. They are very thin but they have always worked for me. The pin will beep when the multimeter is set to test continuity and one of the lead wires is touching a known ground. Touch the other wire to the pins and one when you hear a beep it's a ground wire.
Great job dude ! Way to recycle by way of audiophile ingenuity! BRILLIANT!!!
Chear mate. Just did this on a Panasonic cobra. As It never had any aux. And it worked like a charm.
can you tell me where you soldered the wires on the pcb? Do you have a picture? Thank you in advance

This video showed that part of the process better. ua-cam.com/video/NflinO7lojI/v-deo.html
One end was coming from the headphone jack on a phone. It usually just overtakes the radio station's sound.
Not really sure if that's what you wanted to know though.
you made that look like a piece of cake, big thumb up.

What's the cable you used for the poking tool? I can't find the radio outputs to solder an aux cable and I want your tool to like around

You can use a $3-4 ground loop isolator from ebay.

Very good bro . new joint audio connect circuit. Thank bro
Thanks so cool. Great video loved it.
Nice video!!!
You could buy a tape that has a auxiliary in it
CD, Rape.... lol Radio & Tape
lmao for few ms
Thanks. Interesting tutorial...I enjoy hobby electronics too.
U the man
