Default AUX IN for Infinity®

Is there any relatively easy way to add an AUX IN port to the Infinity®/Nav stereo? A CD changer port in back that can be repurposed possibly?
I see (from a sticky thread) that you can send the Becker stereo in for a Bluetooth add on, I don't want Bluetooth, just AUX IN.
Thanks

There sure is, it’s called a New Head unit

it’s the fastest, easiest and least expensive way to get it done

I have these devices on two of my Crossfires. They just plug in the back of the radio in the CD port (must be a navigation radio), and play. You will then have USB, SD Card, and regular 3.5mm jack inputs.

You mean the OEM navigation radio correct?

I ask because the product headline says "adapter for Becker radios"

Thanks

Yes you can.
Problem is you do need the CD changer to trigger the input to be active
You will need the Becker Traffic Pro high speed input harness and add it to the back of the radio. With the CD changer connected the input will become active and you can run what ever you want into the RCA inputs.
For other Becker radios some companies had devices to emulate the CD changer, you would need one that emulated the Becker CD changer for this head unit.

Sorry I did not see your question earlier. This absolutely works with my original OEM navigation radios. The picture below is of a side label on a spare factory Crossfire Infinity (Harman/Becker) Navigation radio.

I ordered 1 about a month ago
When you say " They are just plug in the back of the radio in the CD port", I'm going to assume the harness shown does that, it blends into the OEM harness to make that happen.

There are two sockets in the back of the Navigation radio, one above the other and you can only put the properly shaped plug into each. The pictures shown early in this thread will fit the optional CD changer socket only, I know as I had the CD changer once.

Okay guys not to beat a dead horse, but I’m reading these reply’s and confused. I have the OEM Infinity w/ navigator, but no CD Changer. Will this Aux input work without the CD changer. Also do you know if there is an option for Bluetooth with this Head unit?

It's a piece of cake.
It plugs into a CD changer port (for want of a better word) on the back of the radio, meaning an OE CD changer could plug in there otherwise.
I've never seen a Crossfire with a CD changer but that's beside the point, I have the Infinity w/ navigator and it plugs right in, just like an OE plug. The radio is really made by Becker by the way, I don't understand the Infinity branding.
It will take forever to get to you if you get it from eBay, mine took 6 months.

Hey Nick, thanks for the quick response! I’ll get mine ordered tomorrow. I’d prefer a Bluetooth connection from the iPhone, but certainly work with a head jack input!
thanks again!

Bluetooth capable adapters are also available like the plug in type I showed above, but I have not tested those.

I have not tried the bluetooth version myself. I have the version I posted above for all three of my Crossfires. You can search ebay with keywords: Becker radio adapter bluetooth

thanks! I’m checking to see if a Bluetooth receiver with 3.5mm Jack output could be plugged into this Yatour box to complete wireless connectivity. I hate wires on the console and will pay a premium to avoid them while maintaining the the Crossfire console appeal. I run WAZE as my navigator on the phone while playing music via Pandora it’s a perf3ct setup in our other Bluetooth vehicles Thanks again!

From my reading the listing the Yatour is a Bluetooth receiver.
