Well I've read a forum on evom forums about a member making his own cable instead of buying it from the dealer. I've read from another member on these forums that he soldered onto the existing wires in order to have his own custom cable work as well. Now for those non-gts owners, I'm assuming we wouldn't have those cables to solder on to so I'm asking for a little assistance in creating my own cable to connect to the harness.

I need to know exactly what the end connectors of the aux cable look like which will plug into the harness of the car (can anyone show me a close up?).

I also need the name of it (all I know is that it is a female terminal) and upon searching I've seen that there are many different types of terminals. Does anyone know exactly the name or size or type of terminal that it is?

If I do get the info I need to do this I would be happy to share a how-to for everyone else to follow.


Thanks

Read those posts and do what they say. As far as I know, there is no difference between the GTS and the non-GTS stereo harnesses.

I did read those posts and that's why I'm asking for assistance.

GTS owners say they have 3 wires already in place where you should plug the aux cable.
The guides I have read show none of that whatsoever (probably because they have a non-gts trim).

What I'm asking is assistance on identifying the female terminal.

I am not sure what you're refering to...do you have the standard/basic stereo system and wish to add an Ipod adapter? In my very limited experience so far with these cars...almost all the GTS wiring is in the lower models...it's just tucked away.

Point me in the directions of the otehr threads you mention. I had my whole dash open yesterday to install RCA & remote cables from the rear of the stereo and it'll be open again on the weekend in order to finish my sound installation. I'll be able to poke around and see if I can find anything...would be nice to sort out Ipod cable too while I'm doing the whole sound system.

Don't worry about it...I've finished the sound install today, I'm not pulling the dash open any time soon.

Buy the terminals or something else?

I'm going to check it out sometime next week when I get my car back and see what will fit.
