2018 STX; aux audio input?

Hey, I'm wondering if anyone has wired an auxillary audio into the stock sound system on a 2018 STX 6.2L.

I have a ham radio under the middle seat, and I'm wanting to pipe-in the sound.

Thanks

G

The ACM has no ability. It will only accept bluetooth or USB inputs. I suggest a bluetooth transmitter that accepts the 3.5 and just pair it to your sync.

You won't find it, the USB needs a pre out from the device or sync won't recognize it.

gotcha

OK, thanks for the advice.

I went-ahead and ordered another small external speaker; to zip tie onto that handle above, behind, and to the left of the driver's seat.

StraightGrain,

I was bummed to find that my 2019 didn't have a 3.5" aux in jack either. On previous trucks I connected my scanner to this input for better audio through the stereo speakers.
