P880prs MP3 connection

[psk1018dc 10+ year member]

I recently installed this HU and was wondering if anyone has had success in hooking up an MP3 player to it via the front AUX input. I had a 3.5 to 3.5 mm cord for my previous HU but it doesn't fit into the slot in the front on the 880. I have been looking around but can't seem to find the right size cord that would be compatible with this. Thanks.

Yeah, I've read the manual up and down but it is so asinine that I can't make heads or tails out of some of the things in it. I have basically figured out 90% of the features of the deck, but all I have found about the AUX input is that it is a mini-jack, which really doesn't tell me anything since a mini jack can be 3.5 mm also. I just want to play my mp3s but I suppose nothing is easy is it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Its a Creative Zen Touch, although it has a standard headphone jack so that probably wouldn't be an issue. Basically I need a cord with a standard 3.5mm plug on one end and whatever size plug fits in the AUX input on the 880 (2.5?) on the other end. Maybe I can get an adapter for the 3.5mm plug, but I would like to have just a straight connection so there is as little interference as possible.
