Toyota Corolla Auxiliary Input Problem

The auxiliary jack on our 2010 Corolla has been cutting out and the function switching back to the radio. It does this when we hit a bump or bump the aux cable with our leg. I was trying to figure out how to take things apart to replace it. Didn't need to.

Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=DNFHwVOoqwU

It seems to work great. The only thing I will add is you don't need to take anything else apart. Simply slip a screwdriver into the side of the jack assembly to release the keeper clips, and slide the jack out. The wires behind will be pretty tight/short, but you can give it a tug. Each feature seems to be held in place by clips. And the green (on our car) jack structure slides out from the bigger black assembly, though for me, I couldn't get it to release completely, even though the guy on the video was able to. I just didn't want to break anything. :)

You could even decide to replace the whole aux assembly, and it's very easy to install. Don't need to take apart the dash or anything. Good luck!
