Non original AUX cable is available on German EBAY for about 15 EURO.

Depending on your existing audio equipment you will need to join cables from existing cable and new AUX IN cable:

You have to take apart purchased AUX IN cable:



Don't forget to remember exact position of cables so you can then put them into same positions on original cable.

Put everything back in opposite order. Be careful with foam around air vents:

Later I've added Bluetooth audio receiver:
Rechargeable Bluetooth V2.0 Music Receiver for iPhone / iPad / Cell Phone / PC - White

It is not audiophile quality, but it works perfectly with Android phone and Ipad. Now I can stream music wireless. My kids love to play music from Ipad .

Maybe I will purchase better Bluetooth receiver like this:
Woowi BTRC006 A2DP/AVRCP Bluetooth 2.1 Receiver - White

nice write up! only thing with a one piece cable is if it somehow gets yanked, its going to pull directly on the harness.

i filmed a tutorial on how to install on the DSC button area, after hours of uploading on youtube, i got a video is too long error! but i signed up to have longer videos and hopefully itll be done uploading in the morning.

here's how my install went
