Good evening merv, I was impressed with your diligence in this task, however although it’s ‘nice’ to have ‘fixed’ your car by doing this, are you not concerned with the more pressing issue of your steering wheel being on the wrong side of the car? My advice is not to drive it at all until you have it repaired and moved back over to the correct side.

@MervsServiceSecrets
@MervsServiceSecrets 7 лет назад
Thanks, yingchi! Basic oil change procedures are pretty universal from one car to another, but the location of things is going to vary slightly. My video gives you a good overview of how we did it on this particular Toyota, but it's always very important to check your car's owner's manual, not only for recommended procedures, oil types, etc ... but also for safety precautions. Remember, before you start messin' around under a car, you want to make sure it is cool and that you have jacked it up in the safest way possible. Feel free to use my videos for general concepts, but also do a healthy amount of research before attempting your own repairs/maintenance and check with other professionals you may have access to. I mean, I know a lot, but I'm no God. Close, but not quite! :) Hope this helps. And thanks a million for watchin' ! -Merv Himself
@demillevantigo7432
@demillevantigo7432 7 лет назад
Hi Yingchi! Merv sometimes drifts between dimensions and starts blabbing about oil changes instead of AUX JACKS! To answer your question better, let me tell you that every car really is a bit different, but there are a lot of common procedures and things to look for. For one thing, it really depends on the specifics of your current head unit. The inputs you need would be located on the rear of it and if they are there, it's a fairly simple hookup. Rather than yanking the thing out to check, you might be able to do some googling in order to find the tech specs of your unit. The kid's car that we were working on did NOT have those hookups, plus he wanted a nicer head unit, so Merv upgraded. But like Merv said when he was babbling about old changes, with a little research and asking around, you can find the answers you need before ripping your car apart. And always be safe, Yingchi. There's power behind that dashboard! -Demille Vantigo , filmmaker for Merv's Service Secrets. www.MervServe.com

@MervsServiceSecrets
@MervsServiceSecrets 4 года назад
Good question. My best answer is that the function of the ports would depend on the head unit that is receiving them, of which there are countless varieties. The one that we used in the demonstration is listed in the link below the video as an FYI. Thanks for watching and please be sure to like & subscribe. -Merv Himself

Hi Nick. And thanks for watching. Honestly, I'm not sure about the answer to your question, but I do know this: the stereo head unit in your car is more important than the car itself.

Bascially, you need to look at the aux port you are installing as an extension of whatever your car stereo allows. If the back of that head unit has usb and mini-jack, then you just run cables from the auxilliary jack to those input ports on the back of your unit.

It's just a standard mini plug cable that I had already plugged into the rear of the head unit.

Hi Vince and thanks for watching. It really depends on your existing radio. It would need to have the right input. Then the wiring is simply plugging into the rear of the head unit. The inputs you need would be located on the rear of it and if they are there, it's a fairly simple hookup. And that includes USB power. But it depends on existing head unit. Rather than yanking the thing out to check, you might be able to do some googling in order to find the tech specs of your unit.

Hey Merv! Just wondering if there's a way to install this to an OEM stereo that doesn't have AUX? Like is there an aux input adapter I can buy to connect it with this? I bought the AUX jack without knowing that my radio needs to have the cable to make it work.
@MervsServiceSecrets
@MervsServiceSecrets 7 лет назад
Hard to advise on your specific situation since there are so many variables. The video we made specifically applied to our situation because the head unit had Aux inputs in the back for mini plug as well as USB, so we connected our cable extenders to those for easy hookup. You'll see that in our extended cut at around 10 or 11 minutes in. We always try to show some additional considerations with a dash of humor in those extended cuts... so I might suggest checking out that "Problems & Pitfalls" video at the below link. Of course, we can't tell you what to do, we can only show you what WE did in our car, but I hope this helps. -Merv ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VIxgSQoOU94.html

I just bought a 3.5mm Jack AUX Interface Adaptor yesterday. Basically a box with an AUX, USB, and SD card port. I'm wondering if I can hook this socket and cables up to those slots. The adapter interface has a connector that connects right into the CD changer port in the back of my OEM unit.
@MervsServiceSecrets
@MervsServiceSecrets 7 лет назад
Jimmy, I wish I could be of more assistance, but I have to be honest regarding the fact that I don't know enough about the specific interface you are describing. If it was me, I would contact the manufacturer of that adapter, or go to their website for more information on how the unit pairs up (or doesn't) with your existing equipment. Make sure everything is compatible and, as always, be careful.
@thai2zz35
@thai2zz35 7 лет назад
Well, I'll install it and keep you posted with updates. Then you can make a similar video with an factory head unit! I'm hoping I'm thinking this all correctly. All this just to install AUX to my radio without changing to an aftermarket head unit.

@MervsServiceSecrets 7 лет назад
Ashok, it depends on your existing head unit. Rather than yanking the thing out to check, you might be able to do some googling in order to find the tech specs of your unit and whether or not it will work on your avalon. You might also want to check out the "Uncensored" version for deeper info. Here's the link -->ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VIxgSQoOU94.html 1

Jessica, I personally believe ANYTHIN' can be made to work with the right amount of duct tape and chicken wire. However, for more specific advice you might want to research your situation on DUCK-DUCK-GO.

Different cars have different radios, but what matters most is the type of "head unit "you have. There are inputs on the back of your Radio/CD player (head unit) that will tell the story. Our "deep dive" video might have some more answers for you. It's located here ->. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VIxgSQoOU94.html

It's easier if you just install a CD player single din, with an Auxiliary input Jack, that comes built into it. Less hassle, and you'll still have your 12V power outlet.

Hey bud, I have a 2008 Hyundai Sonata, and I just want to do this process with that, I noticed behind the radio panel at 4:12, you already had a female auxiliary cord, is that common in cars or did you install that yourself. I don't need any of the radio crap, I just want a aux and usb charger :( Thanks for any help, and the video was entertaining!

Hi Azlan. Those cables were install by me when we wired in the new head unit. Our "deep dive" video might have some more answers for you. It's located here ->. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VIxgSQoOU94.html Different cars have different radios, but there are a lot of similarities. What matters most is the type of head-unit you have. There are inputs on the back of your Radio/CD player (head unit) that will tell the story. And that's where I attached the USB extender cable. I recommend researching the make and model number of that head unit and you may be able to find out if it can take the kind of inputs required. Do your research and, as always, take necessary safety precautions. Hope this helps. -Merv Himself

@MervsServiceSecrets
@MervsServiceSecrets 5 лет назад
Pearl your question is excellent and thanks for watching. Sure do hope you'll like & subscribe. Unfortunately, it's hard to advise on your specific situation since there are so many variables. The video we made specifically applied to our situation because the head unit had Aux inputs in the back for mini plug as well as USB, so we just connected our cable extenders to those for easy hookup. Check out our extended cut at around 10 or 11 minutes in. Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VIxgSQoOU94.html&list=PLlkQlS1BNEJbguZ-2mcjpkCoWxoVgR0_r&index=12 We always try to show some additional considerations with a dash of humor in the extended cuts... so check it out. I think it will be truly illuminating. Of course, we can't tell you what to do, we can only show you what WE did in our car, but I hope this points you in the right direction. -Merv Himself

@MervsServiceSecrets
@MervsServiceSecrets 7 лет назад
Howdy Clownfish! The wiring is simply plugging into the rear of the head unit. The inputs you need would be located on the rear of it and if they are there, it's a fairly simple hookup. But it depends on existing head unit. Rather than yanking the thing out to check, you might be able to do some googling in order to find the tech specs of your unit. The kid's car that I was working on did NOT have those hookups, plus he wanted a nicer head unit, so we upgraded and started with a new unit. Demille put a link to our head unit in our video description. I can't say enough about it. Our EXTENDED version (HERE: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DfP7d7_CXJA.html) might also help you see some of the tricky things I ran into.

We thought the kid had crummy speakers in his little car, but once we installed this thing, wow! Truly amazing.
