Looks to me that the RCA ends would still have to come "out" of the dash somewhere (assuming you connect the 12v/ground behind the dash) and plug into the factory AUX input (in the little cubby).

What I'm trying to say is the factory deck (or aftermarket) would not be able to control the Ipod, it will only charge it, and aux input of course.

I am using apple's RCA -> dock connector in my MR. It works fine. I can control everything from the iPod. I prefer it this way.

Do u have an aftermarket head unit? Cus I'm trying to find out if the stock has aux plug in the back. Thnx

I'm sorry, I have the Nav and the three plug at the bottom.

i have an MR... but does the basic stock head unit capable of having an ipod/mp3 player with just an AUX wire in the back?

I have an aftermarket unit right now but I have the stock unit at home. I will check to see if there is aux on the back of the headunit.

^^ coo thnx a lot... Cus I've done search... And the manual... And I can't find it. Thnx in advance.

So I looked and I didn't see any RCA aux inputs.

c_reber · Sep 9, 2009, 10:27 AM

Yeah its not on the back of the oem deck. You might try to do a search on this and see what you can find. Most systems (even the base *I think*) has the aux audio input below the stereo in the little cubby hole below your A/C controls. Its in the back and covered by a little plastic cover.

Try a search though, I'm sure someone has posted some pics of it.

Thnx fam... I'll research more.

If you get the mp3 cable from Mitsu you need to wire it direct to the back of the stock radio. Kind off a pain in the a$$. Work well when hooked up.

The OEM one, is it 1-1/2" jack or a standard iPod connector? If it's a jack, that's such a rip off, with it being like $40 new.

Yup, its just a standard headphone plug. And you can make one yourself for a couple bucks. Only thing I notice though, is you get a bunch of noise, so you would need some sort of filter to soften the engine noise through the stereo.

I bought a monster iCable the other day for $7.00. It's shielded supposedly.

Give that a shot.
