I looked at every option for adding an auxiliary input for my car. This unit appeared to have the best combination of clean looks and high build quality. Now that I have it, and have installed it, I am very impressed by both. The cable is thick, but soft and bendable. The mounting lug is thick, sturdy plastic that attaches with a plastic nut of equal strength. The port is covered by a soft, rubber cover that snaps into place nicely, and stays there when not in use. The unit looks very clean and does not draw any attention to itself. The only surprise I found is that the area directly around the headphone port has a white finish. While I would have preferred an all-black look, I honestly do not mind the way it looks, as it has a high-quality appearance.
I have added a composite picture showing the port installed in a Grand Cherokee for perspective.

One of the better AUX inputs I have seen
This cable arrived at my doorstep today, and I have to say that I am awfully impressed. I already have installed in my pickup and it looks like it in OEM (with the exception of the cover clearly reading "Clarion" on the front). I actually purchased this because I saw that someone had already uploaded pictures of an install in the same vehicle I have, and it looked great. As long as you have a flat space and the room for a 3/4" hole, it should mount up easily and look sharp. I installed this product in a 2006 F-150 and am using it as an alternative AUX input with the USA Spec PA15-FORD1 iPod/iPhone interface. Not sure when I will actually use it, since I have an actual iPod cable that comes out of my glovebox, but I figured I should run the AUX just in case, you know?The pros: Looks good, nice sturdy cable (maybe a bit of an overkill, actually), better quality than most of the other similar products out there.The cons: The retaining nut on the 3.5 mm end is a little difficult to slip over the RCA plugs on the other end of the cord. If the cable split out to the R & L RCAs a couple inches farther up the cord, they would be much easier to jimmy through the retainer nut. The plastic retainer nut also is kind of cheap, so it can easily cross-thread itself when you start getting it snug against the back of the panel you mount it on.

Understated Looks + High Quality

my 2006 Mazda MX-5 Grand Touring did not have aux jack, and only play CD disks, not even MP3 CD, constantly chaning disk was bothersome so I decided to add aux jack, there is an adapter that connects to the CD changer connector, but I need a port to mount on dash.
After some searching, I decided to go with this one as it looks well made, had a cover and most importantly, a retainer nut, where most others I find were not designed to be flush mount.
I installed it next to the factory cigarette lighter and it looks facory, being a convertible, I liked the soft cover, where it can keep dust out when not in use, since I park with top down in the summer.
Cable is thick, I had to cut off the RCA terminals to connect to the aux adapter with crimp terminals, gold plated connector is very strong, and retainer nut stayed in place without the need of adhesives.
The cut out hole is 3/4", originally I thought the price is really high for just a headphone connector, but the integrated factory look and the part clearly was engineered for automotive application made it worth every penny.
