Hi guys I wonder if you could help me with a solution to a problem

I’ve got a 2018 uk ford ranger wildtrak. It’s got the two usb plugs and no 3.5mm jack.

I’d like to add a 3.5mm jack to the vehicle so I can audio through the speakers without a delay like there is on the Bluetooth. The lag on that is so annoying to me.
I’ve considered fm transmitters but I don’t like them and they’re not reliable. I’d prefer a more Hardwired option even if it means wiring into the 54pin plug on the sync module.


I’ve seen products online but they seem to be £250 or so which seems expensive?

Thanks guys

Use a usb cable to connect the phone. No lag then.

It’s not a phone I’m connecting. It’s a hdmi source for a special/law enforcement vehicle

This is about the only working option for 3.5mm to USB. There is no other hardwired option unless you were to ad an amplifier.
