Technical Another aux question!

[Booth]

Right i bought this the other day:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IPOD-MP3-AUX-Audio-Adapter-FIAT-GRANDE-PUNTO-/350473864035?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D4%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1034527574998780647&_qi=RTM742988

and it arrived today.

So i plugged it into the back of the headunit, plugged my iPod in and attempted to search for the aux button.
There was none.
Pressed the cd button twice and searched through the source menu.
There was a slot for this connector at the back, which is why I don't understand why there is no aux option?
I have a 1.4 sporting 56 reg, if thats any help?

see there's a button on the steering wheel on top right hand conner it say's scr or something press that until u see the aux come on ur cd player thats how it comes up on my gp hope tht helps

Oo that looks like a good investment if it works. Let me know how you get on take it it will fit into the stock headunit? Blaupunkt or whatever it is i duno also would it be hard to wire this through to the little compartment to
The right of the steering wheel. Would be ideal if i could do that would look a mess having a loose wire hanging out the dash
Let me know

Make sure you have no cd in your cd player. But then hit the cd button AUX should pop up dont know if that helped but if it works let me know so i can buy one

It hasn't worked :/ This is what i'm confused about?

 

[BenYoung]

Hmm dont know then. Maybe go to the back of the headunit and take out the cd input and just have aux. If its the stock headunit im not 100% sure if they work with multiple outputs.

I know you probs have but have you Tried it in every plug in the back of the head-unit as there are a couple plugs that are for AUX inputs. I have got the same cable as this just with an ipod connector on the end and mine works in the far right plug. Hope this helps

is it possible that the car doesn't have aux function ?? even though there is the space becuase i have pushed the cd button twice on mine but it doesnt change to aux ???

Nothing in my case I don't know if yours is different but the only two cables that were plugged in were the main head-unit power plug and the arial. And all the other 3 plugs were free.

thats where the usb plugs into i think i have tried all of them and cant seem to get it to work either. Cant beleive it. If i manage it i will tell you.

if you have blue and me that uses the yellow aux input, i tried to add an aux through the multi cd changer but with no luck. the way i got it to work was to add a y piece before (or splice) the yellow plug. a usb needs to be plugged in for it to recognize it as an input, just play a silent track on the usb so you dont have two tracks playing.
sorted.

So you're saying if i plug something into the usb slot ASWELL as that cable, the cable will be recognised?

 

[DlightSwitch]

What if you don't care about Blue&Me, can you unplug the USB cable and plug in this Aux one there instead and just use it like that?

 

[Booth]

Ive tried that cable in all slots in back? I just cant seem to find an Aux menu.
I don't care about Blue & Me either tbh.
