Splicing an AUX input into the CD player wiring

This is your place for alarms, remote starters, to brag about your system, exaggerate your db levels, or simply ask questions for stock or aftermarket audio. No Flames! (except from roasted amps)

If you can't find the correct terminals, just splice it into the other wire. Done correctly, with heat shrink and solder, it will last and won't look like a trained space monkey did the job. If you think you still need a connector, you could just add whatever you have to the wires you spliced, and not worry about finding the correct terminals to match the other one.
I dont know why i didn't think of that. I think i'm going to get a few of these:

and tap into the wires i need. Will the AUX function automatically know that it's connected?
