Car radios of the modern standard have a more advantageous position compared to previous, similar systems. This is due to the fact that car radios have great functionality and advanced features.

Instant and easy connection of smart devices that play audio files (mobile phone, tablet, memory drives) is what every motorist is looking for.

Developers strive to create car radios with well-thought-out connectors on devices. Older devices did not take into account such capabilities, and therefore they can only play files from discs or radio.

Nevertheless, this problem is solved thanks to the AUX connector, which is available in car radio models manufactured after 2005.

The difference between AUX and USB connections is that the former has an additional output. The USB connector is designed to ensure the transfer of raw information, including the subsequent processing of information, as well as the final playback of files through the car radio.

AUX can transmit ready-made, processed by an external device, information.

The AUX sockets in the car radio are a suitable solution. Using this 3.5mm cable creates a way to connect different gadgets with the same input options.

Based on the information received, you can connect any device. To do this, just check the presence of a connector whose parameters match the cable.

If smartphone models do not have such a connector, there is still a chance to connect. To do this, you need to purchase an adapter or a special AUX adapter.

The AUX connector also has a frivolous minus compared to the alternative USB: by connecting the device via the AUX connector, the stereo system will have to function on the principle of conventional headphones. This is due to the fact that the signal is not processed by the car radio, respectively, the music is played by the mobile gadget, then the AUX wire transmits the signal command to the radio. Then the desired signal goes through the car radio amplifiers directly to the speakers.

This connection is very simple, because various devices capable of reproducing audio signals provide the required AUX input.

• To connect the desired AUX cable, you must determine the appropriate connector on the car radio panel. The wire itself must have two identical TRS plugs on each side, with dimensions of 3.5 jack.
• Then you should place one side of the cable in the AUX connector of the radio. The other side must be placed in the smartphone slot.
• After that, you can select the desired audio files and play them on your mobile phone.
• Then it remains only to activate the AUX mode on the car radio by selecting the desired input as the sound source.

After the work done, the music that is played from the smartphone will pass through the stereo amplifier, which follows the amplification of playback in the speakers.
