Your auxilary input is in your console. Just push the "aux" on your head unit (it'll switch between sat1, sat2, sat3 and aux...you want aux). Plug the wire into your console and your headphone jack on the mp3 player. You may have to crank the volume all the way on the mp3 player. I learned the hard way. I didn't think it was working because I couldn't hear anything at half volume. Then listen and enjoy!


Ah crap, I just saw your note about the external jacks. Sorry! But I think you can buy an adapter to play it through an FM station.

Yes, you can get an FM transmitter, but they SUCK!!!

Also, the PIE-AUX04 SUCKS. I put mine in and it dies less than 4 months later.

On the top of the forums, like the VERY Top of the page, is an advertisement for an iPod integration kit. It's like $225, but it allows you to control the iPod from the head unit. I'm going to give that one a shot. I'll install it sometime over the winter, and post up results after doing so.

No the HU doesn't have rca's. And using the built-in ipod aux link is nothing but disappointing. The main thing being that it doesn't charge your ipod. Nice marketing ploy but basically useless in the the real world. Replace your HU asap with this if you want high quality ipod digi sound.
