Can anyone here help me? I was helping someone put on a MINI Auxiallary adapter for their iPod but for some reason the radio cassette head unit cannot pick up the added Auxiallry unit.

The car has a dealer installed 6-cd changer, and is the radio cassette version headunit.

Do I need to reset the radio or anything like that?? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

 

What year is the car?

 

it's an 04

 

It could be a bad AUX cable.

I have one (on a H/K CD-based head unit) that's bad. The AUX mode displays intermittently. Some times it's there and some times it's not. If I play around with the mini plug end of the cable the AUX mode will suddenly reappear as one of the mode options on the radio. It's very frustrating since I now have to pull the radio once again just to swap the silly cable.

 

Actually if you just take out the plastic piece below the steering wheel you can just feel behind the radio and plug/unplug from there without removing the headunit.

But thanks for the info, thats one thing we did not test because we didnt have a spare cable.

 

Cassette? What's that?

 

Something that, if was invented today would be banned by all the big music labels and greedy corporate America.

 

You can't do it like that on mine... I have H/K with factory navigation and so there are two extra (yellow) wires going into the plug. I have to remove the wires and transfer them over to the new plug and so that prevents me from taking the "blind" approach like you've mentioned.

 

Sounds like an '84! :smile:
