Part 2: How to Plug in a Cable and Listen to YouTube Music

AUX is an abbreviation for auxiliary, and generally the input terminal is referred to as AUX IN and the output terminal as AUX OUT. You can listen to YouTube Music in the car just by connecting the terminal and the car navigation system using the AUX cable. The cable is in the way, but the connection is stable, and the sound quality is higher than Bluetooth.
However, the iPhone 7th generation and later models cannot be connected with the AUX cable normally. Connection requires additional wiring, such as an Apple Lightning-to-3.5mm headphone jack adapter and a USB Type-C conversion cable. If your device is an iPhone, it is better to prepare in advance.

iPhone CarPlay and Android Auto can also be connected with a USB cable, but you can actually listen to YouTube Music with just a USB cable. You can easily connect without special knowledge. If the car navigation system supports it, it will automatically recognize the device and register the device with the car navigation system. Recommended for those who have trouble remembering difficult settings.
