- Ever wanted to play your phones music through your carts audio system? Ever wanted hands free mobile phone ability? Here is what I consider to be a super detailed walkthrough of how to remove the radio unit, and add an Aux in/out cable to allow just that. Here is where I bought mine.. just pop the words "Smart 451 Aux Cable" ... into Amazon

So helpful! I fitted it this morning and only took me 15 mins, thanks to this video :) cheers mate!
Wooohoo. Awesome. Thanks for taking the time to appreciate.
Love you videos been looking for a TH-cam Channel that teaches you how to fix smarts I don’t have one currently but I’m looking your channel is just what I was looking for I’m definitely subscribed
thanks so much for the positive words!!!!
good luck getting a Smart! they are so much fun!
Mint! I was just getting used to CD's again, as I missed the aux input of my last car, who knew it was this easy! U rock!
Mind's eye visual guitar method awesome isn’t it?? You are sooooo welcome
Very simple and clear tutorial. It helped me a lot today and the installation was very easy (did it in 5 minutes). But I placed the cable in the glove box, because there was a hole in the top corner of the plastic cover and it looks clean. Thank you very much
Er B I love it when I get comments like this sooooo happy it’s been useful 😎
@@smarte.r.1450 I just had to thank you, because good How To videos for the Smart are very rare. Now I can listen to music after installing a 7€ AUX cable.
Brilliant walk through! Thanks very much!
Robert Lapham thanks for taking the time and consideration to say thank you. It’s all I want. Enjoy! 🤓
Nice video, for anyone after a cleaner finish, you can run the cable behind the stereo and through a cavity leading to the passengers footwell, it’s simple and then the cable is out of sight.
No Nonsense Johnson good shout
Really good video , Has been very helpful
Nimesh Shah thank you for your kind words. I love my aux
1:28 Wish I'd seen this before I followed another video cause I did scream dear lord what have I done before reassembling it. 🤣🤣
😂😂
Just watched your video, I installed the Aux cable in no time. I stuffed tissue into the hole prior to removing the middle screw....I didn't want the screw from falling down into the depths :)
What a clever and resourceful idea. Thanks for taking the time to comment this
I just lost the screw after installing the cable 😂 when trying to screw it back to place
Merci beaucoup 👌🏾
Thanks man... glad all this info.
I'm having a very bad reception on my original 2008 451 radio. Looking in how to switch to something else. ❤
Thanks for the kind words… since I made this video there are loads more choice out there for a good android choice nowadays 🙏😉
Great Video!
H Cannon thank you. And thanks for taking the time to say that. It’s the thing that makes me want to do more!! 🤓
Thanks a lot sir !
Γρηγόρης Ντερκρικοριάν so glad it’s of use
I have a 2009 passion coupe left side steering and it doesn't have that Aux input, which is a bit disappointing from a mercedes...anyway great video, totally gonna buy the cable and do this, thanks for posting this!!
Emanuel Burghelea so no glove box? That was like my old 08 Passion. Hence this video. Thanks so much for the kind feedback. Best of luck with the install. It really is THIS easy. Have a SMART weekend 🤓
Awesome video. Much appreciated!
Dan Hart Fitness tha is for taking the time to comment. Very kind. I’m glad you found it useful
Smart E.R. Thanks man. I’ve subbed too!
@@danhartfitness cheers fella... be well!!! and thanks for the sub!
Worked really well. Thanks for making it so clear. Can I use another type of aux socket as an iPad charge lead?
Alan Clegg not that I’m aware of. You could in put a powered USB pot. In a version with glove box there is a usb inside on the side wall of the glovebox nearest the radio unit 🤓
Just a suggestion, after I watched this video I took maybe a 2” x 4” piece of cardboard and folded,it down the middle,to make a V then folded one end to close it then slid it in under the screw with the closed back behind the screw then unscrewed the screw and let it drop into the cardboard and pulled it out. I didn’t reinstall the screw since it doesn’t need one because the faceplate is so tight.
love your thinking
dude i am going to save me some money and put my own aux cable in.....gracias
Wooohooo. Then my mission is complete! 🤓
Great video, is the installation the same for a 2010 mhd with the factory fitted pioneer system?
Sarbjit Singh to get into the unit? Yes the same I believe.
I noticed in the description the wire you have from eBay allows for a Bluetooth connection does that work the same way the cord does or no?
WOW! I never noticed that!!! I no longer have THIS version of the Smart For Two so im sorry, I cant confirm it.. I cant see how the wire/cable itself alone can enable bluetooth. There was no circuit or driver board attached .
I noticed multiple sockets on the back of the radio, do you think this radio will support a second auxiliary input?
Nigel Kitts I do not believe so.
Hello i bought the same thing but with bluetooth box instead of aux, i got two wires extra with it and i wonder where do those go( black and red ones) Ty
I’m sorry. I’ve not come across this.
Quick question I have a smart fortwo passion cdi from 2009 and it was this piece attached with a little phone thing that was bluetooth and show up on the phone as brunswick carkit does anyone know how it work I bought the car with it already there..
Sorry never saw this. I believe you needed a bespoke cradle and specific phone 😭😭
how can i activate AUX ? in my smart 44 passion i connected cable and when i press CD it tells that there is no CD inside, AUX doesnt work on a buttom
J4qBson I’m sorry. I have never owned a for four. If you’ve installed an aux cable yourself. I’d take it out and double check the connections. Sounds like the speakers aren’t connected or you have the aux block in the wrong location. Good luck
INSANE auto-muting feature of stock radio if windows are open, if road speed changes! We
want to inhibit that function without major disassembly; which wire to cut? Mine is a 2013
Fortwo
Not a clue sorry
If i dropped that Tx25 main screw in that area anyway to get it back?
Tape a small fridge magnet (very small) to a wire coat hanger head. Only idea I have sorry. I tried to make it as obvious as possible. There are magnetic retrieval tools on Amazon though

I did this with my smart 451 but when i connected the iso on the back of the radio,the panel of the car and the radio turned on automatically without the key inserted,when i disconnected the cable all went back to normal,i don't know what to do.Can you help me?
Termeyy what radio is it? Like the one in this video?
Smart E.R. yes
ok... the ONLY thing I can think of is if the aux cable has a faulty earth. I have helped many dozens of people do this using the EXACT aux cable (i am not the seller of said cable) and its worked.
did you put the uhf aerial in? is the radio grounded? is the aux cable DEFINITELY in the correct port?
I'm sorry I can't think of anything else..
Smart E.R. yeah probably,but now the car has the engine warning light on all the time,what happened?
you may have grounded the unit and its flagged a fault.. (warning triangle) you'll need to get a fault diagnostic tool on it.. all garages have them .. here in the uk £20 for half hour in a basic garage... check the fuses (see my video on the fusebox) and look up a channel called "evilution" most technically knowledgable Smart Mech ive come across
Dude, is that work for Mitsubishi Diamante 1998 ES, cassette car stereo, cause my tape input is broke
2oxic_ 7ey hi buddy. I am sorry I don’t know. Pay attention to the YELLOW fitting and see if your head unit has a similar port on the back ?
@@smarte.r.1450 ok I'll check it later, thanks men
Can u find me a link to buy this aux for amazon in usa because i your link isn't available for me thank you.
Sorry I missed this one.. for anyone watching or reading this .. here is the latest Amazon UK link www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-Connector-Ypsilon-Roaster-Paugeot/dp/B079NJWN9W/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3BTZ2SG7NPZ02&keywords=smart+car+aux+cable&qid=1696709518&sprefix=smart+car+aux+cable%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1
There is a difference between a radio of a model 451 before 2011 and after 2011?
Ath there are a few different versions of radio. Look up Evilution smart car on the web he has the most comprehensive information out there
@@smarte.r.1450 thank you. I appreciate it
Do you know much about the clutch actuator?...I services mine and tried lining it up to get the right bite point but it's not perfect I might have to bite the bullet and get it to the star machine...any tips?
jaime it’s a bitch!! Better off going to the independent dealer unless you have a garage pit or lift... it’s a swine and if the clutch is on its way out... you could be wasting your time
@@smarte.r.1450 yes I noticed...I put it half on the curb and crawled under and took it off, marked it with a pen first serviced it an put it back in the same place but it's still slipping/jerky in low gears so I moved it back away from the bell housing a bit at a time to allow for clutch wear and surprisingly it's now 8mm away from the original mark and it drives so much better...but not perfect..maybe I need a new clutch but they are not cheap.
As I feared. .. yes it’s t clutch buddy
@@smarte.r.1450 any idea how much it will be or the best place to go other than Mercedes as I dont want to be taking a mortgage out..?
Sorry not a clue. 😞 I know it’s a ball ache though
Hi, what are ports 2 and 3 for?
I really am not sure I’m sorry. Please post here if you find out?
Can you send link for the cable please
It’s already in the description at the bottom buddy
Hi is there a radio code to put in?
jaime hi. I’m sorry. It’s been such a long time ago... but I know how I work... I would have factored that I. To t video so from memory.... no. No code to input. Hope that helps
@@smarte.r.1450 hi so just to confirm if I disconnect the battery on my smart 2009 it will not ask me for a code to the radio...?
As mentioned ... as far as I recall no. I’m not able to guarentee that. I’m sorry I can’t be clearer it’s been so long. Have you tried taking the stereo out but not disconnecting and looking at the xternals to see if the code is on there or in the paperwork. ??
Doesnt your car have an aux cable in the storage compartment? My 08 passion coupe does. Oh nevermind.. your car doesnt have a compartment on that side.
roberson644 spot on. The Diesel Smart Fortwo has the lockable glovebox and the aux input was inside.
oh noezzz, and I just bought the 2009. :( Needs must be met...
Awwww..... You should have kept AC/DC playing for the demo!

Is there a way to make it Bluetooth this way to?
I’ve not come across one yet but I suppose a Bluetooth dongle into the 3.5mm audio Jack but it will be awful.
@@smarte.r.1450 And this one? You have to put the following after the standard Amazon site link because I can't post links.

@@fcjell3904 I don’t understand what you want?
@@smarte.r.1450 I did put the end of a link in a comment above, if you put that link the Amazon Com you get a product, do you think that's good? I can't put a link in your comments so I do it like this
Good video but too many tumbs up. It's annoying!
Lauro Costa not all my viewers speak English. It’s meant as a visual indicator to represent ... you’ve gotten this correct .. and I like thumbs up!! Lol
