iPod connector glove box

[Siondc]

I have this iPod connection in my glove box. I’ve tested it with an old iPod and bought an adapter to test with my iPhone but I can’t get it to do anything. There doesn’t seem to be any buttons that correlate to the connector. Any help on how to get it to work would be appreciated

Have you tried pressing cd twice? (Or once if it’s already playing cd?)

Yes I’ve got it to work now, thanks though. I spent ages trying to work it out, can’t believe it was simple.

Does the ipod connection work the same as an aux input? Obviously with an ipod plug on the end. I miss having an aux connection and dont fancy ramming all the aftermarket sh*t behind the dash!

Don’t think so mate. I’m not 100% but I think it’s an CD changer emulator, so there’s more going on than just audio input.

I see, im wondering whether its possible to retrofit the oem ipod connection but maybe wire in and aux lead inplace of the ipod version

Possibly but I haven’t read anything about anyone doing it. You can retrofit the oem iPod connector and get a Bluetooth adapter to allow Bluetooth connectivity, I know it’s not an aux connection but could be next best thing. Search 30 pin to Bluetooth adapter or tune2air

Hi. I was wondering how you got it to work? Can’t figure it out.

I had to use an early iPod, I think it's an iPod nano 4th gen. plug it in and press the cd button twice.
