880PRS aux question

[qkassidyw 10+ year member]

is this the same for the 800PRS i would assume? so i just need a little cord to plug into my HU to play Ipod? anyone have a link to the correct cord?
Thanks!

I don't know if there is a direct cord but there are 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapters then just get a regular mini to mini adapter (3.5mm to 3.5mm) and plug the adapter onto it.

ok sounds good. One quick question though..

How am I supposed to fit the cord into that hole when it is halfway covered by the face of the headunit? will it magically appear once the Headunit is actually in my car?

no...the HU has to be in the tilted position to use the aux connection....it's pretty annoying.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

So I'm guessing to use the front AUX, the front plate has to be open? That *****, I was hoping I could see the lights and ish from the HU. Oh well, can't have it all.

And FWIW, here's the 2.5mm male 3.5mm female connector I got. $0.95 shipped: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2648

yea it has to be tilted...but all the lights and screen stays on....

To tilt it, press and hold the eject button for a few seconds so it doesnt eject a cd if u have one in there

Maybe you guys have your HU buried into your dash, but I used the Auto T/A mic on 3 different occasions and the HU doesn't need to be tilted to plug it in.

tis called flush mount

looks better imo.

Meh, YMMV then.

not so much, i dont use the AUX in in the front, or play CD's often enough for it to matter.

what is this flush mount you speak of? it makes the port accessible?

hold the EQ button down and that front port is on the bottom of the faceplate.

yeah we got that, but we cant find like the Ipod setting on the headunit. for example, you have the Tuner, CD etc... but when we hit source there is no option for AUX.

1. Turn the unit off

2. Hold down the right knob (multi-control) until the menu appears

3. Scroll through until you find where it says "enable aux 1" (it may be 2, I'm not sure)
