if i have the ipod mod on my car, can i connect a different MP3 player such as the Olympus m:robe

 

up

 

yeah.... theres another aux port u can connect any mp3 or cd player or something u just gotta buy this one thing i cant remember what it is called. but if you are talking about the ipod connector itself i dont think it will work on anything besides an ipod

 

depends on the year...i dunno about 05, but from the factory with the stock cd player there is an aux jack for any mp3 player. add the ipod deck, and you get the aux jack, and an ipod jack, which charges up your ipod, and you can control the songs and whatnot from the deck itself.

 

If it's an 06, you can use the standard AUX port in your center armrest. You will NOT be able to use the iPod plug. But there's an aux port right next to it that will take input from any audio device.

 

ah ok, so if i just have a normal mp3 player i can plug it into the stock stereo/ armrest? i dont have to buy the ipod stereo

 

Correct. As long as it's an 06.

 

yes, i forgot to mention that in my post. my post is valid for 06s only.

 

if i plug it into the aux input will it charge my mp3 player?

 

no, its just like pluggin your mp3 player into some headphones...think of the car's stereo as some headphones, really big ones.

 

would i be able to control the songs through the steering wheel?

 

nope. the only thing you can fully control thru the HU/deck is an ipod. (excluding shuffle) anything else, you just plug in and control from the actual mp3 player itself.

 

I had the same question about playing a reg mp3 player. Where can i get the plug to commect to the aux?

 

^^ Radio Shack.

If you have an 06 with the AUX input, just get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm Stereo cable. It's basically a cable with two small headphone plugs on the ends.

 

thanks. also so if i get an actually ipod i can go through it through my actuall car stereo? And does it matter which ipod - will any work

 

any ipod with a dock connector will work.

 

Thanks!
