Brand new XLS owner here....was looking through MMCS manual and found on page 8-11 a diagram showing a type 1 aux rca jacks located at the back of the console and then I saw a type 2 connection....deep under the HVAC controls in front of the forward cupholder/12v area.
Does anybody have this? Or is this perhaps from a european model. I'm at work now, but am gonna take a good look after I leave work. This makes connecting an ipod much easier without running wires from behind the console to wherever you want your ipod.
This "Type 2" is covered with a door so look carefully.

I have the XLS without the NAV system, and I dont have that jack... though it could be a connector for a playstation, or VCR, or an I-pod...

Well, I went and checked my XLS that does have the Nav unit and alas, I too, do not have that little door.
Too bad, would've been a great spot to put those inputs too.

Where did you see this "Type 2" jack diagram/picture? Looking at the MMCS manual (US models), all I can see are the RCA jacks on the rear of the center armrest.

Do the back-of-console inputs come with the nav system, the 6-cd system, or only when you get the rear-seat screen?
Are these inputs usable for an ipod?

page 8-11 of the mmcs book. This is a us model.

yes, the ones at the back of the console work with my ipod....weird though, when you start driving in aux mode with ipod attached...the screen goes dark.

I am looking at the same MMCS manual, all I see is the diagram for RCA jacks at the back of the center armrest. No other type of RCA jack on the page.

Perhaps I have the answer. In looking for an XLS with all 3 major options...the dealers here on Long Island had trouble finding one. So the dealer I purchased it from got an XLS with sun/sound + luxury and then had the parts dept order the nav option separately which was installed at the dealership.
Maybe the book that comes with the part is different. I will look and check to see if there is a revision number in the book...or maybe I just got a different book??? Canadian?? I dunno....sorry....anyway, I don't have those rca jacks in my outtie either.
Should have went to wantagh mitsu........

I went to Wantaugh Mitsu and they didn't have an Outlander XLS with all 3 option packages either. Neither did Hempstead and Lindenhurst.
