French term or phrase: "y sortie pour auriculaire"
Haut parleur avec contrôle de volume y sortie pour auriculaire.

The above sentence relates to a car cradle/holder for your mobile phone.
From the picture provided: the holder fastens onto your air conditioning vent - a black piece fits over the earpiece from which a wire then winds down to the speaker / charger cigarette lighter.

How would you translate the above term? This is an advert therefore I don't want to use any medical terms if at all possible. Thanks for any info.

Explanation:
The more I think about my previous answer, the wierder it seems. So I want to retract my suggestion!

I now think that auriculaire is something to do with hearing or an earpiece, but I'm not certain exactly what it is.

...and earphone output


Explanation:
Loudspeaker with volume control and earphone output.

It's important to say output and not jack, socket or some such thing.

Although the normal translation for auriculaire is the little finger, I don't think this is what is being referred to here.

It sounds like it's for a mono earpiece - I can't believe that stereo headphones could be described in this way.

(loud)speaker with volume controle for earphone jack or plug


Explanation:
this phrase seems to infer that the volume controle is not only for the speaker but also for the earphone jack as well
