Audio aux in wiring loom plug / socket name

In my P3 V70 armrest there is an audio aux in socket.
Can anyone tell me what the connector at the back of this is called and where to get a mating plug or socket?
Photo attached.
Many thanks for any help!

Not too sure what you mean?

The "standard" AUX socket I believe is this one - it's a Ford unit and found on loads of Volvos and Fords of this era, not just the V70

However - If you have RSE (Rear seat entertainment) then it's not quite the same part and more difficult to source and costs way more.

I just repaired mine (i DO have RSE) but gently bending the pins back. The plastic support around the pins on mine has cracked but once there's a jack plugged in and I don't touch/move it - it works fine....So I've left it like that!

Thanks Oak,

The photo is taken from the rear seats and shows inside and under the glove box where the aux in 3.5mm socket is on my V70.

The back of the aux socket has a loom plugged into it which I believe terminates in the right hand piece of the two parts you can see in the photo.
I am after that part so I can replace with a bluetooth receiver.

Vparts Sweden sell a kit but I can't get hold of it due to Brexit import issues.

Thanks for your input.

Do you have a USB socket next to the Aux socket? If so you can plug a Bluetooth Aux adapter into the Aux socket and power it from the USB socket. No need to adapt or modify the wiring. The adapters cost very little.

I've used this solution for a couple of years without any problems.
