MP3 player question?

Boben5 · 04-09-2009, 10:10 AM

Is there anyway to play my sony MP3 player in my car even though I have the Ipod port in my armrest. I tried the other day and it did not play. Any suggestions? I never use my Ipod. Thanks for your input

Do you have an AUX input somewhere? If so, you run a cable from the headphone jack in your Sony to the AUX input, then set the head unit to play the AUX.

If you don't have the AUX input, you can add one. Get the cable from the dealer. You have to take out the head unit, and there's a spot where the cable plugs right in. I did it on my wife's car, routing the wire to the glove box, as per the directions for an E46.
