It would be good to route your internal CD input wires to a female 3.5mm jack, so you can use (and replace easily, if need be) a cheap and widely available 3.5 mm male-to-3.5 mm male patch cord. You can crib a jack from anything, and maybe secure it with epoxy or even silly-cone.

Pro tip: The G35 clock bezels pull straight out, rather than upward. It's pretty easy to break the tabs off removing them. Speedkar's way is perfect. Do just like him. Unrelated: I sell those bezels on ebay to people who break a tab for around C$100, shipped anywhere in N. America. ;-)

Maybe some people prefer to be bombarded with less microwave radiation. Also, Bluetooth is fallible in a dozen ways that a cable is impervious to.

Ironic that the wire didn't work with the tape input, but would have if you had plugged the cassette adapter into your phone! LOL

When I do max volume on my phone through the 3.5mm jack, it cuts it down to half after a while with some fucking warning about hearing loss. Whaaaaaaat?

@speedkar99 Yes, but it's best to pop from the top! If you look at the bezel, you'll find the tabs aligned longitudinally. Best way I've found is fingertips @ bottom of display and pull!

@speedkar99 Agreed, though it's interesting to contemplate a high quality 3.5-to-cassette adapter played through a fully cleaned and recalibrated deck. I mean, if you're feeding into analog anyway...

A mechanic wouldn't touch this stuff, and frankly, most are unqualified. 120V home stereo stuff in the car seems like a good idea...until you get mad interference from your alternator through the inverter!

@speedkar99 Yep. And like most, my phone is bone stock and likely to stay that way. I actually had CM on my last (identical) phone, but it was buggy with no updates, and I'm not technologically advanced enough to roll my own, or inclined to learn...best to be good at a just few things!
