Default Aux Jack Placement

Currently I have the Aux jack wedge between the center consoles and below the A/C controls. Not crazy about that, So looking for some ideas of where everybody has there aux jacks in their cars, pics would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen a hole drilled and it mounted next to the cigarette lighter. Not a wedge though, just the actual port.

if you know how to do it, you could pull put your center console and drill a hole and mount it in there, so its all hidden away?

I ran an extension for my USB port under the console and mounted it in a hole I cut in the front edge of the armrest compartment. It's easy to reach for changing flash drives but it's completely out of sight. You might consider that for your auxiliary port if you don't use it for connecting something like an MP3 player that you need to see all the time.

get some extension RCA cables, and either a custom wall plate style female port, and put it in the center console, works awesome
