Bose stereo AuX input help!

[k-d350]

Hey guys, I've tried to find the answer on here but no joy so here goes...

 

Nes 350 owner, car has very nice spec (sat nav, hands free etc...)

It also has a 3.5mm audio Jack that comes down to the passenger footwel.(guessing previous owner habit installed)

 

Question i have is, how do I select it so I can play music from my phone etc..

 

Hope you guys can shed some light its driving me mad

 

Thanks

plug in the phone and change to the tape setting I'm sure

^^ yep as above

[k-d350]

That's what I thought but no

 

Have a feeling theres a loose connection, but wanted to avoid pulling the dash if I can

When you connect iPod and put stereo to tape what does the screen say ? Side 1 or error or nothing?

[k-d350]

Just flashes 'tape eject' but theres no tape in there :s

[ZEUS]

That's a new one on me! Have you tried the reset procedure ? It's at the end of the "iPod hack how to" it's something like turn ignition on until stereo come on (tape mode) then turn off, while holding tape eject for I minute

[k-d350]

Not tried that, but I will! I'll let you know the outcome, cheers

Sorry to sound like a complete nube... but you don't have a link to the thread do you?

I can only find info on soldering

Thanks

Timing is crucial on this . has to be exactly 60sec , it may need doing a few times before it works

Thanks Zmessage t still nothing...

Have a feeling theres some dodgy soldering to blame

 

Got the message wrong its 'push eject' that flashes

 

Thanks again tho

[ZEUS]

Yes I've had a quick google "push eject" is one of a few messages that come up, the reset should still work for it . It took a few attempts and a bit of messing about when I did mine but it worked in the end

[k-d350]

OK.... found an old tape -but it wont play or give it back lol

[k-d350]

Working!... aslong as I don't want the tape back its fine

The reset worked with the tape in :s

 

Thanks ZEUS!

[ZEUS]

Great news! Whoever did the hack didn't remove the spring and slide inside the tape deck which stops it needing a tape in to work,

Don't mean to hijack this thread but do the facelift cars play mp3 CDs in the 6-cd changer or only standard audio format?

AFAIK only standard audio format
