From the diagram... the connector wouldn't, or needn't be accesible. It's a connecting point/relay that triggers the aux once voltage is sent through the "+" side. To be exact, the caps ensure the proper voltage being fed through the radio, preventing any damage to the circuit components. The radio would see/sense voltage on the aux-in, and autmatically switch over.
The question now is whether some display message would appear. It wouldn't provide the "voice-in" message, as that's designated to the phone. Anyone do this yet?
These two are different means of accomplishing the same goal. What I really like about this so far is that both are extremely inexpensive. Neither one would require more than $20 in parts. The difference is in skill required to perform the install. Another plus is that "if" I ever ordered the BT kit for my car, or had one already, I now have an alternative for an aux.
I'm excited to find some other people here actually providing feedback, info, suuggestions that are furthering the cause.... evolving this project and giving people more than one option.
