aux input
Stereo cable connection
An aux input is a socket that accepts audio from an external device, typically through a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Common in car stereos and speakers before Bluetooth became standard, it let you play music from phones or MP3 players: I plugged my phone into the aux input.
Often shortened to just aux: Does your car have aux?
