Do you have a CD changer ?

no just a single cd player.

I'm assuming you want a USB for music ?

 

You "could" do all of it in one go with a grom audio box which will also give you hands free phone setup and bluetooth music from your phone. They work VERY well....installed many over the years.

thank you but i only want usb for now.

Well unfortunately, it's not as simple as that, you won't find anything that will plug and play simply.

 

You need "something" that will emulate the CD input to give you control over the aux device from the headunit, this is what the Grom box does.

 

Not sure why you would not want a hands free phone system as well.

i dont have a phone.

You can buy Bluetooth / usb goodies that plug into the cigar lighter 12V output. You can pair a phone with them or, since you don't have one, you can't get ones that either play from a usb plugged in or an SD card slot. I've got a couple that I purchased from AliExpress for about a fiver, delivered from China. 

 

You can select next/previous track on the unit (they have buttons) but it's a real pain to slog through the amount of tunes you can fit on a 16GB usb stick. 

 

Oh, these things broadcast on FM so you just need to tune your radio to it.

 

That's the cheapest and nastiest way of adding usb that I know of but it works well with a connected phone as you get hands free, too.

Handy voltage display, too, let me know when the battery was on its way out last time around.
