Re: AUX Input

it's not on the back of the head unit by any chance is it? I'm sure my old standard ford stereo had one on the back, which I only noticed when I took it out to put an aftermarket one in.

Re: AUX Input

It is for ipod connector - however you have to but the interface kit to make it work. This kit plugs into back of radio on non blue and me cars.

Re: AUX Input

If you've got Bluetooth/ Blue&Me it's the USB port in the glovebox (left hand side) for connecting up your MP3 player to listen to your music through the radio.

You should have a separate manual for the radio.

Re: AUX Input

Hi,

I'm thinking of the Ipod connector for my standard headunit which came with my 1.4 Active Sport. Do I have to take the headunit out to plug in the Ipod connector or can I get access to the back of the headunit from behind the fascia?

Thanks

Yes the head unit has to come out - this is easily done by making 2 u shape tools from an old metal coat hanger or you can buy them from h**Fords.
You only have to do this once and you can locate the ipod where ever you want as the cable is quite long.

Re: AUX Input

Where do you insert the "coathangers" to remove the headunit - I've noticed a few holes on the front of the headunit - are the screws in there?

On some radios there are anti-theft grub screws in the holes to prevent thieves removing the radio in about 30 seconds.

The screws have to be removed first using a small allen key. Not all radios have them though (up to the factory/dealer to fit them after the radio was installed so easy to forget/not bother).

If you have them fitted don't forget to refit them to prevent the aforesaid thief making off with your radio!
