** Mod, please delete my previous thread regarding the question asking what is that cable of use for.

So now that I know the cable that I posted up is a Aux cable, I'd like to ask, my car is quite an old car so it even have a cassette player, no CD player, the problem is I do not seem to be able to see/find any plug in for the Aux cable, I bought an MP3 Redfox FM Modulator from KS IT, so it comes with a remote control, and the Aux cable, since i do not have a plug in for the Aux Cable, how else can I do with it to play songs clear and crisp from my pendrive? My pendrive works with the modulator once I plug it in on the modulator's USB port, but my modulator have to be at the same FM channel as my radio, so it kinda sucks and sound quality isn't that good.

Any idea what can I do to plug in that Aux cable in for clear sound quality? I do have an iPhone 6, would that help in any way?

I just checked. This model is very old. It does not have one. If you are electronics guy, you may be able to modify and make a real AUX input.

may be.. not sure.. icon_rolleyes.gif gud luck thumbup.gif

IMHO if you really care about good music quality in your car .. investing few and getting a good product shouldn't be an issue.

sometimes people are just too rely on the work "oem replacement" or "oem upgrade" and they forget there's always aftermarket unit that can work better and more practical.

get a hu with usb..you wont need an aux port...why do double job?

But to get a hu with USB meant that I would have to change my whole radio set, how much would that roughly cost ?
