Technical AUX in none-Visteon radio units?

[Inazuma]

Hi
I've been looking for solutions to hook an AUX cable to my radio. I have a 2007 Bravo. My radio head unit doesn't have the "mp3" logo on the front, nor can it switch to "AUX" using the SRC button, so I'm guessing it is not a Visteon unit. It seems that all the cables on ebay are only meant for the Visteon units. Does anyone have any other solutions?

Does it look like the standard OEM head unit?

Yes

Ok, have you taken the unit out to check if it has the actual plug?

Some units, can only switch to aux if something is connected on the input side; one way around that was to have a small resistor always hooked up. (the Bravo mk1 needed that hack.. so you can search for that)

Take the head unit out and check if it has the plugs. if it does then 99% it will work somehow.

The aux mode is disabled by default. You need to access the advanced menu to turn it on. Simply press and hold menu and it will enter the advanced menu. Then scroll through to find aux mode and turn it on. Once on simply plug in the cable from eBay and away you go. Fitting guide is on the forum if you search for it.
