Default Aux & USB Cable Fix

So I have seen a lot of people on here complain about the location of the AUX port.

I have the same complaint, I mean it's just not a lot of room to let the cable have a natural curve, so I was destroying cables.

So I bought this off Amazon

Monster Cable Monster Cable

It's the same cable that came with my Beats Headphones, and that cable is very durable. Plus with it being at a right angle, it will put less stress on the actual cable.

For those of you that need USB cables try this:

That's actually very useful. Has anyone tried the USB cable? does it fit exactly if I have one of those 12V to USB ones?

If you have one of the mini USB 12v plugs it should fit just fine, I should get mine in a couple of days so I'll let you know how it fits.

The AUX plug I know will work fine, I use my beats one already and it fits perfect.

Yeah I have tried the beats one when I first got my beats and didn't have an AUX cord. But didn't really think about the 90 degree thing while I was using it back than and completely forgot about it.

Nice find. I need to get one of these on order. I also go through cables about every 6 months.

They also sell flat AUX cords which is what I use. I forget the brand but I'm sure you can easily find them at Best Buy or WalMart.

Bought this USB charger: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-Bullet-...item56490d528b

And this cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-5mm-Car-Au...item5891e9aa9b

Both fit perfectly plugged in in my center console.
