Looking to add aux' input to our car.
Want to get a 3.5mm plug for the dash/glovebox - one that ideally looks stock.
Maplins comes up dry, eBay only has full kits (not needed, I just need the plug!).

Essentially I'm looking for a plug like these:

I've searched google high and low and it's giving me a headache! Anyone know any companies that'll do them - I imagine from the right place they'll be a few quid only!

Much ta in advance!

Mapins do do stereo 3.5mm sockets, I bought one the other week (not labelled with "aux" or anything).

Are you looking for a kit with switching etc?

RS Components?

3.5mm jack sockets are hardly obscure!

Cheers for the replies - but I'm not after a metal or standard 3.5mm socket that maplins sell. For example, this below is the closest thing maplins do:

I'm after a similar principle, but in a plastic setting like the ones in the pic above.
For example, the first picture is sold in a fork aux kit, but the kit's £20.
I suppose my last resort is to source it direct from ford... (although it's for a skoda 😉
