WTF is it so hard to find head units with auxilliary front inputs these days?

JVC used to have a bunch of them..but now that seems to have gone the way of the dodo. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
not just front... REAR ones too... none of the sony's have them unless you pay big bucks (I only say this because i have sony points to blow... i opted to get a mp3 cd changer instead. heh)
 
Ya, I was going to run some Aux up to the middle console so I could put a mp3 player there but that didn't pan out. Honestly though, would you really want a HU with front aux? ...fugly :thumbsdown:

I do.

My parent's Mitsi Montero has one.
 
b/c they make the HU look like crap...

Yep, function follows form at ATOT these days. I guess that's why Macs still have a few consumers, too. :roll:

How didn't it pan out? I've done this (center console to underneath the dash on the left of the wheel) on my old car for foglamps, kind of a pain but the finished product is worth it. You could also run them to the glovebox.
 
i found it hard to get front AUX wiht a detachable face. So i settled for one that cannot be removed. I used the front AUX for my ipod.

:roll: Obviously that isn't the sole reason they're not on the HUs anymore. Did I need to put "IMO" to make it clear it was my damn opinion? Id say you were ornery, but somehow, I already know you'd agree. 😉
 
becausethey want to force you to buy their over priced and sh*tty mp3 technologies instead of simply pluggin in ur ipod or whatever. alpine has a decent adaptor that works with the ipod though.. took till now😛
 
Surely they could put some form of cover over the AUX in, and that would mean that for those who don't use it, there is no style issue, and for those who do want it, it's there.
Maybe demand for aux in isn't very high?
 
Talk about expensive, I had to spend $50 for my pioneer dehp9300 headunit to get aux input for my ipod and preserve my CD changer connection (IP-Bus)

In fact, I've got one of these for sale if anyone's interested. 😉 PM me if you are.. it's a killer head unit.

Good call Luke. They could use a blue LED to fill the hole, and the things would fly off the shelves!
