The Audio Auxiliary Jack found in your Nissan enables you to listen to your favorite podcasts, audiobooks, or music from a digital media source — including mobile phones, portable CD players, and mp3 players.
The Audio Auxiliary Jack, also commonly known as the Auxiliary Input or Auxiliary Port, has the responsibility of receiving transmitted audio data from a media player and communicating that data to your onboard audio system.
Depending on the year and model of your Nissan, your specific Audio Auxiliary Jack have a USB socket, SD card slot, standard 3.5 mm audio input socket, or a combination of the three.
If your Nissan's Audio Auxiliary Jack has a standard 3.5 mm socket, it can be connected to your device of choice using supported 3.5 mm auxiliary audio cables and can connect to most audio devices that include a standard headphone jack.
If your Audio Auxiliary Jack has a USB port, audio transmits from your device to a DAC, or digital-to-analog converter. Streaming audio through USB offers better sound quality by eliminating organic noise within the audio signal chain. A USB enabled Audio Auxiliary Jack requires the use of supported USB cables.
If your Nissan's Audio Auxiliary Jack has an SD card slot you can load an SD card with MP3 files of your choice. If your Nissan is equipped with an SD card port, check your owner’s manual to select a compatible card size.
Home replacement of your Nissan's Audio Auxiliary Jack is possible. Keep in mind that replacement may require the right parts and removing interior components, like the interior console panels, center console components, interior side panels, the navigational system unit, the entertainment head unit, the gear shifter, or dashboard components. Take care to double check that you order an Audio Auxiliary Jack intended for your Nissan's year and model.
To maintain a seamless fit and uncompromised sound, select genuine OEM Nissan parts. If you’d prefer to leave the installation of your Audio Auxiliary Jack to an auto repair expert, turn to an authorized service center near you.
