NOOB question

I know we have the IPOD hook up in our center console, but I have no idea what kind of wire to use to hook it up. I also noticed that we have an AUX setting, but cannot find the AUX port. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Taylor

I bought an AUX cable from Radio Shack for ~$6 and plugged it into the colored holes (no idea what they're called) in the armrest. The music plays from the AUX menu.

Ok awesome, I guess I was just looking for an outlet that looks like what you would plug headphones into. Thats what my wife uses for her IPOD in her Jeep. I didnt think about the color outlets. Thanks a lot

There is an actual iPod data cable, that should have been supplied with the car. You can check in the classifieds to find one, or ebay.

^This. If you just bought the car go back and tell them to give you your cable. Look in the glove compartment it may be in there. Should have been included with the car. It is a cable that plugs in next to the colored outlets, the outlet is in the front passenger side corner of your center console once you open it up.

Also (and Im a new owner as well) if you have the Nav system, the "holes" are RCA cables. you can hook up a portable DVD player and watch movies in-Dash as well.. just as you can watch videos from an iPod touch or iPod (as stated in the manual).
The SD card will allow this as well.

I could Not, however, get anything video to play from the CD player, so I believe those are the 3 options for external hookups...

Cheers!

I bought my coupe used and it didn't have the cable. The dealer wanted $38. I got it from eBay for $25.

^^stealership at it's finest!

Guess I got lucky, I bought mine used and it came with the ipod cable so it depends on the dealership.

If you have bluetooth, I suggest getting the Blackberry music gateway and connecting wirelessly for like $60. I also got a griffin powerjolt (car lighter double port USB charger), and a retractable charging cord for the Music gateway. That way, it all takes up very little space in the armrest and I still have another port for charging my phone.

I use it with my Evo 4g. Works without any snags.

Aux port is in the armrest.
