I just picked up my 06 xB a few weeks ago, and I'm having trouble with the aux jack.

I plugged in my ipod, and hit the aux button, but nothing happened. I'm assuming I'm just making a stupid mistake, but I can't get the dang thing to work.

Any advice?

 

I'm assuming ur talking about the standard aux input and not the ipod input......On the standard input plug the ipod in using the proper cable and turn the ipod on. Set the volume on the ipod to max and start playing a song, then put the headunit on with aux input and turn the volume up to the desired level. That should do it......if ur still not getting anything then there's either a problem with the headunit itself or something with the input port, in either case both are covered under warranty. Hope that helps.

 

Oh sorry, yeah i'm referring to the standard aux input by the ebrake.
The reciever won't even go into 'aux' mode. I press the button and nothing happens.

 

If it is not going into AUX mode that means that the head unit is thinking that nothing is plugged into the aux jack. Might be a short or something. Take it back to the dealership and complain.
