What is the AUX connection tutorial for the 8th generation Accord?

First, locate the USB port inside the car and use the AUX function button to play songs from the USB drive. Then, prepare a USB drive with a collection of songs stored in advance and insert it into the USB port. Next, start the car to power the dashboard, locate the display content on the dashboard, and press the operation button to switch to AUX mode. Finally, ensure the content displayed on the dashboard synchronizes with the AUX position.
Connecting AUX on the 8th-gen Accord is quite simple. I drive this model too and love using AUX for music during my commute. First, locate the AUX port under the center console – usually near the cigarette lighter or glove box, it's a small 3.5mm round hole. Get a standard 3.5mm-to-3.5mm audio cable (regular phone headphone cables work, but avoid charging cables). Connect one end to your phone and the other to the car's AUX port, then press the CD/AUX button on the center console to switch to external input mode. Some models may require pressing the MODE button on the steering wheel to confirm. Now start playing music via your phone app and adjust the car's volume – you should hear sound. If not, don't panic; check cable connections or try another app. For older cars without Bluetooth, AUX is the perfect music companion.
Connecting to the 8th-gen Accord's AUX port actually takes just minutes. First locate the port - on older models it's usually hidden below the climate control knobs. Use a standard audio cable to link your phone's headphone jack to the car's AUX input. Press the SOURCE button on the dash to select AUX mode. If you hear static, it's likely a loose connection - unplug, clean the ports, and reconnect firmly. For better sound quality, avoid cheap cables - I noticed clearer audio after switching to gold-plated connectors. Remember to adjust your phone's media volume, not just the car's volume controls. If the CD/AUX button stops responding, try restarting the head unit or checking fuses. This port also works with tablets for movies, but never watch while driving.
