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.

great video! I like it and helps to get an idea of how to do it! but would this work for a 2007 Toyota Corolla?

@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 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 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.

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.

@juancarlosquiteno4463 3 года назад

@MervsServiceSecrets 3 года назад

Yes, the headunit we purchased just had simple plug in connections on the back. One was a USB port and the other was for an audio mini plug.

@thai2zz35 7 лет назад

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 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 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 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.

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!

@MervsServiceSecrets 7 лет назад

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

BUT HOW DO YOU CONNECT THE WIRING FR THE FEMALE END OF THE AUX TO THE STEREO SYSTEM?? 😫😫

@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

@president89 7 лет назад

i think I missed how you wired it? I don't recall ever seeing a female USB port inside my dash!

@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.

Oh man im lost lookinh for aux on factory radio

@MervsServiceSecrets 3 года назад

Keep in mind, we did not install aux on a factory radio. We installed a new head unit that already had aux on the back.

I notice a reoccurring reference to "Tip #17" in most of your videos. Based on some of your post dates, makes me wonder if you are somehow a "Q" affiliate.

@MervsServiceSecrets 6 лет назад

Q-Anon isn't about affiliations. Yet I must admit, Merv's Service Secret Tip #17 is valuable piece of information. :)

@chip7815 7 лет назад

do i need a radio for this some idiot stole mine

@MervsServiceSecrets 7 лет назад

Hmm. That does pose an interesting philosophical question, Chip. Why not buy a new one? Can't say enough about that Pioneer unit we installed. I asked Demille to put a link to it in the description above. It actually produces an incredible sound. We thought the kid had crummy speakers in his little car, but once we installed this thing, wow! Truly amazing.

Or you can buy a lighter USB adapter from CVS for $5 bucks and stick it in. Then when you need to use the cigarette lighter for another accessory you still have it.

@MervsServiceSecrets 5 лет назад

Except, this here USB jack I installed feeds right into the sound system.

@MervsServiceSecrets 6 лет назад

Not confirming. Not Denying. But either way, this here channel will probably evaporate if I don't find a lifeline somewhere. The RU-vid gods have a new monetization policy that is going to make it impossible to raise enough money to even buy cigars. I figure if I can't have a good stogie, what's' the point in makin' these here masterpieces.

@tygur23 6 лет назад

Merv's Service Secrets its a shame bcuz its guys like that make youtube what it is but they have allowed corporate advertising begin to control the free expression i was considering starting a channel but now i feel like it would be for nothing

@MervsServiceSecrets 6 лет назад

Thanks, Ty. Hope you'll join the Mervolution and spread the word to subscribe. Together, we can change the world one crazy DIY project at a time! If someone has a clever way of doing a project, I will post their video with a callout on my channel to help them get started. If all of us small guys band together, we can have a big voice! -Merv

Thanks for wathcing Nicholas. What really matters is the head unit you are attaching to. The old radio was not equipped for the accessories we wanted to connect, so we bought a new one, which worked out great! Check the product links above. And thanks for joining the Mervolution!
