Aux Input

[x5lovr]

I have a non-dsp with navigation and i want to order the aux input was wondering if anyone knows the part number and if it is a quality sound??

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

I have a ZUNE. Thanks Meister.

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.

Get the iPod cable the guys were talking about earlier. It's the one from EAS and for under $200 you''ll have a much better signal from the iPod.

This cable with the dock-to-mini plug gets a real line-level signal out of the iPod vs the headphone output, which is of lower quality when used in this fashion.

I went with the CD changer as I wanted the ID3 tags from MP3 CD's on our NAV screen, plus the increased sound quality when played regular CD's. Also a super-easy install with the 3 & 6 pin connections in the back of the X. No programing needed from the dealer, 4 bolts and it's in!

Good luck enjoy!

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.

Anerbe...I just installed the Aux Input. Can you clarify what you mean by "press preset". Where is this function found - I have Nav no DSP.

thx

The radio station presets. # 1 - # 6. they will affect volume level, try them out.
