Woops, just realized there was a bug with the webpage where you couldn't see all 3 of the pictures in Firefox, just fixed that.

It was just a standard panel mount 1/8” headphone jack. But you could use whatever you like.
Here’s an example: https://www.amazon.com/3-5mm-Stereo-.../dp/B000ML4A2Q
This is interesting, but I don’t understand what you did in that last picture. You spliced a switch into that red wire? Do you have a picture of the switch or where you mounted it?
The switch is to cut power to the radio circuit. By doing this you eliminate any radio interference to allow just your aux music to play unencumbered. You can mount the switch anywhere you want, I have mine under the drivers right knee pad along with the 1/8" headphone input jack.
I used Todd's great how-to and ideas shared in this thread to do this a few years ago. Here are 2 pictures if they help:

It shows the added iPod wire harness completed. I routed it under the console. I used one of a pair of DMC on/off switches (K111639) to switch between the radio and AUX.
I installed the 1/8" MP3 jack in the ashtray as mentioned above as there is already a 3/16" hole in the back bottom of the tray.

The location of the switch and the jack makes the modification invisible.
Also, there are more pictures of this mod and repair of the Craig in the interior restoration album on my profile if you are interested in more detail.
Awesome, thank you.
Sorry to nit-pick, but the volume control is downstream of the tone controls as well as the loudness circuitry. Hooking up the AUX input at the volume control renders all of that useless.
You can also use a connector with a built in switch to cut off the radio audio.
Here is one I fixed up a few weeks back.

Got a few more Craig's on the shelf.. Just not sure there is any interest in them!
