Honda Car Forum

I bought an 07 Honda Fit....So far, so good. I like the little
feller, nice
and sporty with a tight 5spd transmission.

I'm pleasantly surprised at the audio...the sound quality is good, the
radio
reception is ok...

My question involves the AUX...Down in the console, there is a plug
with AUX
on it..it is next to the power cord plug..A mini stereo plug fits in
the
hole marked AUX and the word AUX comes up on the radio display.
I have an Ipod Shuffle... If I connect the Ipod shuffle to the AUX
....nothing happens...I've read in the owners manual, but I'm not real
sure
about details..
Any ideas? Is the Ipod Shuffle compatible with the system?

Thanks.
Perry

Should tell you in the owner's manual how to access the AUX in. On Scions
you press the CD button twice...

Press the AUX button to start playing.

Do you see an AUX button on the head unit or near the jack?

Certainly should be... Do you have the volume up all the way on the
shuffle?

Thanks for the replies...I've tried the suggestion offered, tapping
the cd
button twice only takes me to cd mode. Having the volume all the way
up on
the Ipod did nothing either.
When I made the order for the car, listing all the accessories I
wanted, the
salesman quipped.."don't even order the MP3 hookup, cuz the guys in
service
can't get 'em to work, Honda doesn't have the bugs worked out
yet"...What I
got on the Fit Sport includes the MP3/AUX jack...I'm wondering if
there's
any truth to the salesman's comment...

If the aux works for iPods, why has Honda been selling the iPod Music Link
accessory?

Sounds strange to me. There's not much to them...

I have an 06 Civic, and the port works just fine...

The iPod music link allows for control of your iPod through the stereo
controls. An aux port is simply a line-in. It doesn't power the device,
or control it.

But you have to press the AUX button for the thing to work in the first
place.

Nobody has actually read the Owner's Manual, evidently.
