aux cord
Stereo connection wire
An aux cord is an audio cable, typically with 3.5mm jacks on both ends, used to connect a phone or music player to a car stereo or speaker system.
Before Bluetooth became standard, the aux cord determined who controlled the music: Can I get the aux cord?
The phrase often appears in discussions about whose playlist gets played.
