Yes. Very good sound quality. If you are planning to use it with an ipod, get a dock connector to stereo out cable for true line out.

eas - 714.369.8524 | iPod 3.5mm to Dock Connector Cable

eas - 714.369.8524 | Auxiliary Audio Input - Navigation equipped vehicles

Glad to help. I'm not familiar with the zune audio output, but try to find out if the zune connector provides you line-out and then get the appropriate cable. Personally I like the aux input, it gets the job done nicely.

I put in an Aux jack (bought the cable and installed into the back my my non-nav head unit), and while it works well, I find I have to turn up the car sound to a very high level to get appropriate sound levels. This works fine, but of course when I switch back to AM or FM radio I get blasted with high volume. Do anyone else have this issue?

I'm using an audio cable from my ipod headphone jack to the aux jack. I've also turned up the ipod volume fairly loud.

you should be able to adjust the aux line input volume. on my nav screen, all I do is have it on aux mode, then press preset 1-6 to adjust aux in volume. P1 is the lowest and P6 is the highest. I set it normally at P2 OR P3, and set my iphone output volume to about 85-90%. It seems to set the volumes consistant with bluetooth and fm radio.

Yep, anerbe is 100% correct. Test it out at first, otherwise when switching between aux, radio, cd, etc. you might be in for ear splitting levels.
