    I have seen the threads where the stock AUX/USB "port" is wired to be used with aftermarket radios, but I kinda want to do the reverse. I have a 2012 Head-Unit in my 2007 Taco and I want to wire up a port to the utilize the AUX/USB capability of the head-unit, but I can't seem to find a wire or adapter that plugs into the back of the radio. Anyone know what this plug is called or where I can find it for sale?

    Thanks.

    I bought that wire already and it is not correct. At least it doesn't plug into the back of the head-unit. I am assuming that wire plugs into a harness that snaps into the head-unit.

    Thanks Though.

    Yes, I have a 2012 head-unit in my truck that has the provisions for the usb/aux, but I can't find the correct wire/plug to plug into the back of the unit.

    I purchased that "eBay" wire and it isn't the correct plug for the back of my 2012 head unit.

    steveh,

    If you have and AUX input from your head unit you can hardwire the AUX pinout to a RCA end. I did this on my 96 Hatchback using a CRV AUX port from 2011 CRV.
