Panda No Aux Option - adding one in? ('09 Panda)

[crastinblack]

Hi all,

I have a 2009 Panda Pop.

The stock stereo is a Bosch Fiat 169 MP3 with no option for Aux, but I'd like to bodge one in, if possible.

I've seen videos of people doing this with the Blaupunkt version of this stereo, but unfortunately mine lacks the menu option to select Aux, and the pin configuration on the back seems to be different. All pins appear to be fully populated with plugs (apart from the ones that are 'NC').

Would I be able to hook in a 3.5mm stereo cable into the amplifier somehow? If so, which pins would I need to hook in to?

Many thanks,

Richard

I'd try and get hold of a local auto electrician and see if they can advise

Did you solve this?

Here's an option I remember watching once:



I've used a Bluetooth to FM adapter before, one from Xiaomi worked really well for me.

I always suspected this could be an option, can you hook up the phone to the central pins on that port and is the other "set" for line out/sub?

I believe this needs the AUX button on the stereo.

I not tried myself

But in the video there is no aux in the menu until after the lead has been added

Check out the "Install An Aux-in Jack". And spec CD player radios are cheap on eBay.

The easiest option is adding a bluetooth adaptor in the cigarette lighter. I have one and cant fault it, charges the phone too.

Post some pictures of the one that definitely works with the Bosch head unit would be helpful to others

The above cable appears to be this

Been as low as £3 connector would cost more to make one yourself

There’s tons of reviews on Amazon but just can’t find any stock, Appears to work fine Bosch head units in Punto and 500

AliExpress but I don't like recommending it...

Doesn't need an aux button for this to work, I've fitted one to the missus Panda and from memory all I did was push the CD button and aux comes up as a mode

Correct

As per video

You need the correct lead with the jumper for this to work
