Function of Aux

The main function of aux is actually to connect external devices to the car's entertainment system to transmit audio signals.

Where the external devices referred to are like mobile phones, laptops, or audio players such as MP3 or MP4 players connected to the aux port on the head unit or car head unit. 

In addition, aux can also be used as a connecting medium or jack cable connecting a mobile phone to the car tape. Its function is to accommodate signals intended for:

  1. Microphone
  2. Speaker
  3. Headphones or headset
  4. MP4 or MP3 players and other audio devices, whether traditional or modern.
  5. In addition, aux can be used in cars that do not provide Bluetooth features on the tape or head unit. This usually occurs in classic or old cars.

Until now, the use of aux is still frequently used by most people. Aux is considered better in transmitting audio signals because the sound quality is stable and not distorted.

Aux is also considered more practical because it is easy to repair when damaged, easy to find in electronics stores or mobile phone counters, and supports many other devices even though the jack cable size reaches 3.5 mm.
