alternative aux-input with snhond3
I've noticed that a lot of people out there are wiring from their snhond3's an rca audio pair to their center console. And then when they hook it up to their ipod, they use a mini-y cable to connect it to the ipod (rca to 3.5 mm jack). Even though I do have a dension icelink to hook my ipod up to the car, I wanted to add an additional audio input capability to the car (i have a 3-way audio switcher that elduerdino found for me one day).
I was thinking why not just create a 3.5 mm jack straight up instead of wiring two rca jacks.
What I did here was attach a 3.5 mm stereo jack plug to the cigarette plastic piece of the center console. I then bought speaker wire and soldered the rca jacks and the 3.5 mm stereoe jack plug.
I just made a small hold in the plastic piece to put in the 3.5 mm stereo jack.

This way if i want to hook a laptop or another mp3 device, I just need a male to male 3.5 mm stereo cable. No need to bother with mini-y cables are taking apart the center console

Looks good man!! Someone else did something similar, but instead of having a headphone jack they put the red & white Rca terminals to the right of the Power outlet.
Your setup looks really clean though man!!

i mounted 2 RCA plugs underneath the power outlet, then just used a 3-ft RCA-to-1/8" plug to connect my PDA/MP3/whatever to it... I figured this would give me better flexibility than mounting a 1/8" jack instead, but I guess u could just as well use an RCA-to-1/8" cable instead...

its the soundate aux3. And yea, its definetely small enough to hide. You can put it on top of the snhond3 (however i did take my stock amp out...).
