It's been a long time since I've done this so memory is a bit hazy, but a couple of points:ġ) The cable needs to appear 'loaded' for the head to notice the cable - this is done by putting a 300k? ohm resistor between the two legs. (Hint: You'll need an inline noise isolator to play and power at the same time) If it works WITHOUT power to the player, report back.

plugged into cig lighter power, while trying to switch modes to AUX? if so, disconnect any power to the player/iPhone/MP3 player and try again. Taking you at your word that the AUX input is correctly installed, and assuming that the cables you are using to connect the player to the AUX input are good cables, then I can offer only the following from my experience with the AUX input on my E46.īut first, is your player also hooked up to vehicle power, i.e. What was supposed to be an easy job has turned into a major hassle. I know I am plugging the cable in correctly, and the radio should automatically recognize that an AUX input has been connected. I repeatedly press Mode, but it just switches me between the Radio and CD player. I really want to add an AUX audio input to my radio, but I've tried two different cables now and none of them will let me switch the radio into AUX mode.
