General URGENT HELP! Panda Ipod Lead connection....

[benbfc]

Hi all,

Read a lot of the threads on here about putting the lead into the back of the head unit to play an ipod.

Ordered lead, broke out 3 pins and took head unit out. Then I put the lead in to test and put the radio on.............. NO aux!!?!?!?! I cant get it anywhere, pressing cd twice, etc nothing worse. Starting to think my head unit wasnt compatible (56 plate) i compared wiring diagrams. On the ones in the other thread like this:

there are A-AF, A-R etc named next to the places you need to put the lead into. On mine.. nothing...!!? So i am now 99% sure my head unit wont work? I am just seeking to check this is correct really?? is there any other way to get the AUX channel?

If not i suppose the only other option is get a new head unit with aux etc. if yes, will any head unit connect to the leads in the fiat. (i assume yes)?

Lots of questions! Thanks in advance for help!

The HU should have the mp3 logo on the front....

Without this I don't know if the AUX function is there....

I wonder if the compatability came at the same time as trim change? Has anyone found it didn't work with a car with the newer style seat covers? (i.e. 2007 m.y. cars)

for info, my 2007 m.y. (56 plate Dynamic) has no MP3 logo but does have the later seats - (charcoal with colour in the middle section) and DOES have the sticker on the HU indicating that the wires will work.

I have a Dension Gateway 100 ipod controller going spare which just plugs straight into the back of the head unit - you can then control the ipod via headunit and the steering wheel controls.
Make me an offer and it's yours!
