Okay, I know this thread has been going on for quite a while. But I just want to run my "plan" by those of you who might have done it already to see if i'm on the right track:
I ordered the OEM Aux Jack today and plan to buy the following supplies - 1 5-pin housing unit, 1 CAT-5 cable, 10 RS-232 Female Headers, and electric tape.
1. I will cut off each end of the CAT-5 cable.
2. I will solder the RS-232 female headers to each wire from the CAT-5 cable on either end.
3. I will attach all five wires on one end of the CAT-5 to the 5-pin housing unit and then plug it into the OEM Aux Jack.
4. I will plug in each of the five wires on the other end of the CAT-5 to the corresponding spots on the back of the stereo.
Obviously I'll follow all directions as far as pulling out the stereo and getting to the spot to put in the new aux jack.
Does this all sound like it will work? Make sense?
I figured I'd just use the CAT-5 *instead* of the ID bit audio cables soldered to a CAT-5. Unless there's a benefit to this?? Just seemed like a whole lot of extra wires.
I plan to hook up my Sirius Stiletto as soon as I get all of this done.
Anyone out there using a Stiletto in their Fit? I'm still at a loss for where I'll attach the dock. Any hints would be appreciated.
Also, can someone point me out to a good "how to" for hooking up the satellite antenna?
Thanks!!!
