Where is the AUX interface on the 7th-generation Accord?

7th-generation Accord does not have an AUX interface. The AUX interface is an additional signal line designed with a single wire. In general audio equipment, besides the standard output and input terminals, there are usually several extra input/output terminals labeled AUX, serving as backup connection points. In terms of appearance, the 7th-generation Accord features sleek and smooth body lines, integrating a stylish and dynamic look with an elegant demeanor. The new rear design catches the eye at first glance. The 7th-generation Accord is a mid-size car under GAC Honda, with dimensions of 4814mm in length, 1821mm in width, and 1463mm in height, a wheelbase of 2738mm, a fuel tank capacity of 65 liters, and a body structure of a 4-door, 5-seater sedan.
Last time I helped a friend locate the AUX port on a 7th-gen Accord, it was quite a hassle. This model has early versions (2003-2005) and later versions (2005-2007), with different locations. For early models, it's right at the upper left corner of the storage compartment under the center console—a coin-sized round hole labeled 'AUX'. For later models, it's hidden inside the glove box; you'll need to open the passenger-side compartment and feel along the right inner wall—the port faces vertically upward. Note that it's a 3.5mm jack, so don’t get the wrong audio cable. After plugging in, remember to switch the audio mode to AUX. Older car ports tend to collect dust, so it’s best to clean them with a cotton swab before plugging in to avoid static noise. If you can’t find it, don’t force it—there are owner’s manual images online for reference.
When I first got my old Accord, I also spent a long time looking for the AUX port. Turns out Honda hid it really well. First, check the model year. For 2003-2005 models, look down at the storage compartment under the center console—the covered port in the upper left corner is it. For post-2005 models, it’s trickier—open the glove compartment on the passenger side, lean in, and check the right-side plastic panel. There’s a square port with a 3mm hole sticking out. This port is great for connecting your phone to play music, but older cars often have loose connections, so I recommend using an anti-interference cable with a ferrite core. Some people also install a Bluetooth receiver in the center console, plugging it into the AUX port for wireless playback. Just remember not to crank the volume too high—the car’s head unit can’t drive high-impedance headphones well.
