whitedaze Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I'm a bit confused regarding the aux. input on the front of the F700BT, can this not be used with a normal MP3 player? I've tried, but there doesn't seem to be any way to enable it, except for IPOD or Video. From what I can see, it only works with a certain cable meant for video input, according to the manual. This is unfortunate if so. What if I have a friend in the car with an MP3 player and we just want to go with that... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BorisM Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 If the player works as a USB mass storage device, just plug it into AVIC's USB connector... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitedaze Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I know, I know, could obviously do that. Just kind of bummed the F-series doesn't support it as a regular aux. input. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dano32931 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 The additional cable required is a 4 conductor as it includes left and right audio along with video in. Your basic MP3 cable only has 3 conductors so the sections of the pin are probably not lining up right. I think the Installation manual shows a diagram of the plug. If you could get the right size plug I'm sure you could build your own adapter with just audio in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mhejl Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Works fine with a standard 3.5mm (1/8") 3-conductor audio cable attached to an MP3 player. Just set in in settings for "video" (I can't recall if it is Video 1 or 2). In the A/V screen, the "switch" is on the bottom of the screen (greyed out unless you enable in in A/V settings).

Ravage Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 You need to set AV2 to Video and then the 3.5mm jack will work like a standard aux port. You will get a video screen also, but nothing shows unless you use a special cable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
