Folks,
I REALLY need some help here please!!! I have read and re-read every post on this forum about hooking up an MP3 fly-lead to my 06 4x4 HeadUnit. I eventually came to the conclusion that it was a poverty-spec job, which didn't play MP3s and didn't have ANY audio inputs on the YELLOW connector plug at the back. So in desperation I bought an MP3-compatible unit from Italian eBay....
Which looked to be exactly what I wanted. It has the MP3 logo on it, it has a fully pinned socket bay for the yellow plug, it has the correct pin-out label on the back showing the AUX facility for A.AF-L, A.AF-R and A.AF-ground. All great. Pic below.
I bought the yellow plug cable off the Net (I also have the blue one too as it happens) and hooked it all up yesterday, via the yellow plug. All fitted perfectly and I thought I was nearly there...
The Good news is that I can now play MP3s on CD - it reads files, directories and has al the correct MP3 options in the MENU section as expected.
BUT - it still won't play from my MP3 play over the fly-lead due to the fact that I cannot get AUX selected on the Head Unit. I can press the CD button as many times as I want, but nothing doing. If I'm in RADIO and and I press CD - then I get CD. Press it again and nothing else. If there's no CD in the HU, then I get a message NO SOURCE AVAILABLE, which would make sense.
One of the chaps in the office has a 100HP and his CD button trips between CD, CDC and AUX when we press it repeatedly.
Can anyone please tell me what you have to do to these pox-ridden units to get AUX to work !!?!?!? :bang:
I really don't want to buy an aftermarket HU - I just want to find what needs to happen to get AUX to work.
Thanks,
Phil G
