You guys…. THIS VIDEO CHANGED MY LIFE. I went 6 months without my aux cord and I thought it was the end of my music. But I searched and searched and finally tried this and omg. I can’t thank you enough! You are a life saver. Thank you God 😂🤞
I just bought a 2010 Civic yesterday, figured out the aux wasn't working, and I did some research that lead me to this video. I was able to fix it myself by following along, so thank you so so much for sharing!! I'm so happy 😁
Thank you for making this video! I have a 2008 Honda civic and I was able to fix it on my own (with your help) and save money. Now I can go back to enjoying my car rides with my music! 😊
im naming my kid danny after you because its been a year since ive had no aux and you just blessed me, thank you danny im eternally grateful for you being on this earth
Have a 2012 that just started doing this.... I jam jacked the plastic thing out before watching but luckily found it in time to still make the repair! Thank you many times over!
I own a 2008 honda civic and my aux was broken when i got it. found this video and fixed it immediately. works like a charm. when using the long nose pliers or whatever they're called to make the paperclip piece. be sure to use the very tip to get as small of a paper clip as you can and jam it in. 10/10 video would recommend
i don't leave comment often, but this works 100%. this saved me a lot of time, effort and money that don't even gurantee a rest at the end. worked on my sweet accord 2008. the aux port is located somewhere else, but similar assembly. thanks man.
Have a 2007 Civic EX, didn't have a problem with it up until 2017-ish. Used only for my Iphone/music. Thought the cord impedance or something was burning it out and have gone thru 3 replacement circuit boards. Thanks so much!
I’ve been struggling with this issue for YEARS. Thank you so much for your great walkthrough, explanation of underlying issue, and intuitive fix! One note for future viewers, my paper clip was coated in some wax which made the jumper not work. I stripped the wax off and reinstalled and all was right with the world again.
Thanks! My AUX wasn’t turning on/off via wiggle, but this fix still worked to restore it! I didn’t have a paperclip so I used a post snipped off a mini-LED light to do the hotwire/jump.
Thank you so much! My aux port is working 100% now. Don’t make the mistake I made though. It’s only about 10° F right now at my house. This may have made the aux housing a little more brittle. I should have let everything warm up a bit first. I broke a couple of small pieces off when I pushed it back into the dash. No real issues, but could have been worse. If it breaks, Amazon has new ones for about $10.
Thanks a lot, I used this video to fix mine but I didnt have a paperclip. Instead I soldiered the two prongs together near the base of the plastic. The aux door didnt fit as well as it used to but I was able to force it on and everything works now.
I tried this way and even replaced the port, i have a multimeter showing that the headunit can't rekognise the aux channel even the port is working. Just wonder if you know if it can be easily identify from another side which tells if the aux is connected to the headunit? currently the 4-pin plug is going along with other cables like the 12V power supply and some other cables in a loom.
Just like everyone else said, this video was a godsend when it seemed like there was no hope. You are awesome and thank you!! Easy for car illiterate people like myself too lol
No need to replace the aux input port generally . If AUX button not working, Just plug off the connector in the back seat air conditioner fan output,and short-circuited the grey and yellow line.
I really didn’t think this shit was gonna work but holy fuck it legit just fixed it and it’s perfect. Can’t believe this shit was 100% a solid video. Good shit.
I fixed my 2012 civic auxiliary, but I broke the outside clip! 😂😂😂😂 went to auto zone bought some glue to glue it back together ! I will call it, fixed ! Thanks
You guys have space to put a screw driver in there??? Right now I’ve broken one of the bottom clips and can’t get the top clip to release. You guys were able to remove the cover without breaking the clips???
Hi Sir, I've opened my aux port for honda city tmo /gm2 (year 2008 -2013), but the wire colors are not the same as in your video. Will be ok and safe if i follow your instruction by just put in the metal clip exactly at the same position regardless the colors of the wire?
Previously I replaced the just the circuit board and it worked, but a few years later it occurred again. I figured my aux port was getting worn out from the pressure of the stupid spring-loaded AUX door (which I hate) as it lays against the Bluetooth aux device I have plugged in. Why does this fix work? Will it work indefinitely?
I have a 2010 Honda Accord, My AUX lights up when I press the AUX/CD button or plug something in. When I connect a Phone or MP3 player no sound. The light AUX light is on but no sound, any ideas?
my2006 civic didn't came with any aux input. so i opened the unit found the auxiliary input on the circuit board and made a custom made aux input. it is working fine but the problem is that the audio quality is not there. Sounds like 64kbps. any ideas?
What did you jump exactly, and would it be better to just replace the whole 1/8th inch assembly? Or is it nessecary to jump the white and blue because of some other inaccessable circuit?
I did everything as you did but i did not use the paper clip. my aux is still having problems and it only works when i forcefully push in the aux cable. would the paper clip help my problem? :)
I just pulled out the board and soldered a blob to connect them on the backside of the board. No fishing required Thanks so much for saving me $15/20 on a replacement board. What a dumb design "feature" the flap and the sensor circuit is. Thanks, Honda.
you can swap out the port and it should fix your problem, the paper clip tricks it into thinking the adapter is in, what happens is the port wears out and doesn't know the adapter is in, that's why it doesn't work, hope this explains it
How do u get the cd to stop doing what this aux is doing anytime I'm playing on aux / fm / or USB it interrupt saying disc loading how can I stop thatc
You guys…. THIS VIDEO CHANGED MY LIFE. I went 6 months without my aux cord and I thought it was the end of my music. But I searched and searched and finally tried this and omg. I can’t thank you enough! You are a life saver. Thank you God 😂🤞
WOW 👍🏼 I appreciate you sharing this, thank you
After a long search for the fix I finally stumbled across someone who knows what they're talking about. Thank you!
Glad you found me Lee, thanks for the kind words 👍🏼
I just bought a 2010 Civic yesterday, figured out the aux wasn't working, and I did some research that lead me to this video. I was able to fix it myself by following along, so thank you so so much for sharing!! I'm so happy 😁
Glad I could help, hopefully you subscribed👍🏼
You are a real magician! I loooove being able to listen to my favorite music in my car. Thanks Danny!
Bout my civic si and thought I needed a new aux port but this video solved all problems. Who knew all I needed was a paperClip lol
I kept replacing the whole port but that quick fix just saved me another 20$ and it only took me like 5 mins to do. THANK YOU
I appreciate your gratitude, thanks so much for commenting
Thank You Danny, I did exactly what you said for my 2007, the Aux port is now fixed. Thank You, you're a Life Saver !!
You’re welcome, I appreciate your comment
Thank you for making this video! I have a 2008 Honda civic and I was able to fix it on my own (with your help) and save money. Now I can go back to enjoying my car rides with my music! 😊

You’re welcome
im naming my kid danny after you because its been a year since ive had no aux and you just blessed me, thank you danny im eternally grateful for you being on this earth
Did you do the special paper clip tool? I’m just lost on why I need to do that. I’m about to put my new aux port in so kinda curious
Have a 2012 that just started doing this.... I jam jacked the plastic thing out before watching but luckily found it in time to still make the repair! Thank you many times over!
This worked perfectly for me. The whole part also came out in one piece making it even easier. Thank you for this fix!!
Appreciate you taking the time to comment
Thank you Danny for all your videos. I have an 05 Honda Element and 07 Civic Si, so your videos help me out a lot since you do both cars!
That’s perfect, so convenient, appreciate you watching

Thanks for the help. Took me all of 10 minutes and now my aux port is working just fine. Great advice!
Appreciate your comment, thanks for watching
YOU ARE THE BEST. 23 minutes because I didnt have the tools at hand. Thank you.
It’s tough cause there’s not a lot of space to do this, but it worked thank you so much!
Appreciate your gratitude, thanks for commenting

Worked like a charm on my 2010 Civic. Thanks for the video, and kudos for replying to all of your commenters!
Awesome, thanks for the feedback, glad I could help
thank youuuuuu! the aux sound was very very low and would sound distorted. This fixed the problem on my 08 civic si and now it works!
I’ve been struggling with this issue for YEARS. Thank you so much for your great walkthrough, explanation of underlying issue, and intuitive fix!
One note for future viewers, my paper clip was coated in some wax which made the jumper not work. I stripped the wax off and reinstalled and all was right with the world again.
Awesome, I’m glad to help 👍🏼
It even worked for a 2010 CR-V. I just had to figure out the wire's colors, since the CRV has 2 blue wires. But absolutely great fix!!!!
Awesome, thanks for sharing
Thanks! My AUX wasn’t turning on/off via wiggle, but this fix still worked to restore it! I didn’t have a paperclip so I used a post snipped off a mini-LED light to do the hotwire/jump.
What ever works 👍🏼
I was very skeptical watching this video, but I decided to try it. I cannot believe that it worked. I am in pure awe. I incredible
Hopefully I earned a subscriber or at least a 👍🏼
Thank you so much sir, it was annoying just listening to the radio all the time, now i can jam out to my music.
Appreciate you, letting me know my video helped
thank you for your tutorial. I did that and got my AUX back working. Thank YOU!
that's awesome appreciate you taking the time to comment and watch my videos

Glad it helped, appreciate your response, it’s always nice to know it helps
THANK YOU DANNY YOU’RE THE BEST
Appreciate your appreciation 👍🏼
This is great! Thank you so much! Should we disconnect the power while trying this fix? Or is there no risk of electrocution?
Thank you , this was really helpful and well explained!
Appreciate your feedback
This worked like a charm! Thank you!
Great, glad to here it, thanks for commenting
Thank you sooooo much for this video, you helped me fix the aux in my car🙏

it really worked for me, it took me a while to put the piece in place because of the limited space. thank you very much!🎉
You're welcome! Glad it worked
You're welcome!
It worked like a charm. Appreciate the video!
Thank you for watching and your gratitude
Thanks so much. I had to find some thinner wire. But works now. Thanks
Very easy fix! Thank you so much!!!!!
Appreciate your comment, you’re welcome
Thanks a lot, I used this video to fix mine but I didnt have a paperclip. Instead I soldiered the two prongs together near the base of the plastic. The aux door didnt fit as well as it used to but I was able to force it on and everything works now.
As long as it’s fixed, thanks for commenting
I was wondering if solder would work! Hopefully I get it right! Lol
Solder should be fine
Works perfectly. Thanks for the video, good job
thank you, I'm glad it worked out
Paperclip fixed the issue thanks for the help!
You’re welcome
Oh my gosh!!! I just did this today and it was so easy and it worked!!!! Thank you so much! :)
You're so welcome! Glad it worked for you
Thanks for the tip. It worked well. I tested it before putting everything back together.
Awesome, thanks for letting me know it worked for you also
Horn stopped working. Checked fuse 12, could it be related?
No, horn is easy to diagnose, do you need help
This is perfect solution…
Thanks for making this video
Most welcome, appreciate your gratitude
This was sooooo helpful. THANK YOU!
Appreciate your gratitude
Omg this is amazing! It worked and I have a working aux again!!
Glad it helped!
It worked!! Thanks so much
I tried this way and even replaced the port, i have a multimeter showing that the headunit can't rekognise the aux channel even the port is working. Just wonder if you know if it can be easily identify from another side which tells if the aux is connected to the headunit? currently the 4-pin plug is going along with other cables like the 12V power supply and some other cables in a loom.
It worked on my 2009 thanks
haven’t tried it yet, but i have high hopes, especially since i too have a 2009 honda civic. fingers crossed lol
Just like everyone else said, this video was a godsend when it seemed like there was no hope. You are awesome and thank you!! Easy for car illiterate people like myself too lol
Thank you for taking the time to comment, glad it was helpful
No need to replace the aux input port generally . If AUX button not working, Just plug off the connector in the back seat air conditioner fan output,and short-circuited the grey and yellow line.
Could you explain further?
Thank you so muchhhh , it worked!!
You’re welcome, thanks for taking the time to leave this comment
I’m so surprised that this worked. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Great fix! Thank you!
You’re welcome, thanks for watching Kevin
thank you so much…..my aux mode is back!!!!
I appreciate your gratitude
I really didn’t think this shit was gonna work but holy fuck it legit just fixed it and it’s perfect. Can’t believe this shit was 100% a solid video. Good shit.
Glad I could help ❤️
Thanks so much for the help, God bless you
Appreciate your gratitude
Omg is work!!Big thx Danny🌹
I appreciate your gratitude 👍🏼
What does the jumper bridge? And why does it work? Did you work with a electrical schematic? Just wondering how you figured this out.
I studied the schematic, it fools the system into thinking it’s connected
This worked. Thank you!
Appreciate your update and support
it works ! i owe you a beer friend !!
Glad it helped, beers 🍺 are good 👍🏼
I fixed my 2012 civic auxiliary, but I broke the outside clip! 😂😂😂😂 went to auto zone bought some glue to glue it back together ! I will call it, fixed ! Thanks
👍🏼 you’re welcome
You guys have space to put a screw driver in there??? Right now I’ve broken one of the bottom clips and can’t get the top clip to release. You guys were able to remove the cover without breaking the clips???
Thank you so much!

most likely, but without seeing a schematic for your car, I cannot be 100% sure, however most likely
Previously I replaced the just the circuit board and it worked, but a few years later it occurred again. I figured my aux port was getting worn out from the pressure of the stupid spring-loaded AUX door (which I hate) as it lays against the Bluetooth aux device I have plugged in.
Why does this fix work? Will it work indefinitely?
Mine still works
Lets gooo it fixed it
I have a 2010 Honda Accord, My AUX lights up when I press the AUX/CD button or plug something in. When I connect a Phone or MP3 player no sound. The light AUX light is on but no sound, any ideas?
Take a short video of what it does and I’ll research it for you, send it to dannysdiygarage@gmail.com
my2006 civic didn't came with any aux input. so i opened the unit found the auxiliary input on the circuit board and made a custom made aux input. it is working fine but the problem is that the audio quality is not there. Sounds like 64kbps. any ideas?
Sorry, I can’t help you
Thank you 🙏!
Thank you! 🙏
You’re welcome 👍🏼
What about if you do a hole to connect your aux
It worked after 8 months :0
Glad it worked ❤
Nice video, though, what exactly is this doing, and how does it fix the problem? I assumed the 3.5mm hole itself was corroded or something.
You’re correct, Not corroded but worn out
what does the paperclip trick do?
It work🎉 thanks
You're welcome!
What did you jump exactly, and would it be better to just replace the whole 1/8th inch assembly? Or is it nessecary to jump the white and blue because of some other inaccessable circuit?
Yes, replacing the assembly should fix it, no need for the jump if it’s replaced 👍🏼
Can i just solder in the circuit board?so no need to do the clip?
@@bwasfpvyes
You can still switch back to radio, correct? Is this just bypassing the function that switches over to AUX automatically when you plug something in?
Absolutely
I did everything as you did but i did not use the paper clip. my aux is still having problems and it only works when i forcefully push in the aux cable. would the paper clip help my problem? :)
The paper clip is the most important part
I actually am having this issue right now. I am going to try this. I have the exact same Honda Civic.
I have many videos on Civics, so I’m sure you’ll be back soon 👍🏼
@@dannysdiygarageSo I just finished and my aux is back. Thank you for making this video. It really helped me a lot.
@@xxHeadRadioxx you're welcome
Thanks
What about the actual AUX BUTTON on the radio face?? You can press it like the cd/am/fm button but it stopped working!! Any advice??
sorry I do not have that answer
Hello, the sound comes out from only one side (left). What should I do so that the sound comes out from both sides? Thank you
If the cable that plugs in is good, You’ll most likely need to replace the receptacle
Good job
Thanks
I just pulled out the board and soldered a blob to connect them on the backside of the board. No fishing required
Thanks so much for saving me $15/20 on a replacement board. What a dumb design "feature" the flap and the sensor circuit is. Thanks, Honda.
I appreciate your gratitude
I have a 2009 Honda Civic lx sedan and I did this and it worked fine but after I did it my battery is constantly dying, could this be related?
Check out my video on parasitic draw, doubt it had anything to do with it
What's the purpose of the paperclip? Does swapping out the port in of itself not fix the problem?
you can swap out the port and it should fix your problem, the paper clip tricks it into thinking the adapter is in, what happens is the port wears out and doesn't know the adapter is in, that's why it doesn't work, hope this explains it
@Dannys DIY Garage I see. Mine isn't loose, just doesn't work anymore. Thanks for the explanation.
Can we go fm to aux and aux to fm after doing this bypass?
Absolutely
I love you
Love ya too man👍🏼
Would this work on a 2012? Same design of the aux input?
Should work, I believe in the comments a few people did this on a 2012
what is the point of shorting those two wires together/ how this fix the problem? thanks for sharing.. JR
It tells the module that there is a plug in,
So easy! I did everything and mine changes back to Aux finally but no sound. Any idea what else it could be?
I would use make sure it’s not your cable or anything your plugging in 1st, it should work
I have the same issue with my AUX port.
Does the CD player still work after this mod?
Yes
How do u get the cd to stop doing what this aux is doing anytime I'm playing on aux / fm / or USB it interrupt saying disc loading how can I stop thatc
I don't know that answer
I bumped mine a while ago and now it doesn’t recognize that something is plugged in. Would this fix work?
I would say 95% successful, when you bumped it it probably bent the connection internally, this should fix that
Idk how it works but it works
Do it! I had no aux mode appearing at all on the radio then wallah 🥳👍
Will the mode button still work properly?
Yes
