'08 Acura TL has no auxiliary input

Is there any way to connect my Iphone to the system and have it play music through Bluetooth? Making new cds every week gets annoying. P.s. how much would it cost to install an aux?

You must have AUX. Open your center compartment....its right below the 12V connector.

There's a slot for the aux, but there's just an empty space there

It's not a USB connector, but rather a 3.5" headphone input jack. Look a little harder

Do the 05's have this aux port? Is there one even on the back of the radio? I thought there was an aux port on the 05s too, but maybe not located under the 12v connector... I'd like to hook up a bloothtooth device to it for music. hmm.. My android will already stream music on bluetooth if I could pair it up with something in the TL. I need to find out what kind of port it is. rca?

nevermind. I don't have an aux. not even on the face plate. what a bum. And swapping out the radio would be complicated because 1 plug is different between the 05 and 07 and the antenna plug looks different too. But that may be just an adapter for the antenna but the plug would be a splice job. And that means I would have to either buy the helms book to compare with my 05 or beg borrow or steal from acurazine..

You can plug up you phone through that small input in the cubby but you need an adapter...radio shack has them. Once it is hooked up switch to Aux mode and you music should play. The sound quality is better through Aux by the way.
