MP3 Jack or Something, Need Help - 2/27/2008 8:25:45 PM    ShortyRider Posts: 142 Joined: 10/14/2007 Status: offline Hello! I had my Outie for about 4 months now, and I still havn't bother to use the MP3 Jack yet. In fact, I do not really know how to use this. I read the manuel and didn't really understand, so my next sources, would be of course, you guys! My guess that the MP3 jack is use for me to connect a MP3 player or iPod to my Outie so the sound system on the Outie would play the songs on my iPod, right???? How can I do that, can someone please tell me?? (Sorry for helping, my other car was a 97' Tercel Base, so all these technology is somewhat new to me) Thanks So So Much!

Once plugged in, you will need to set the stereo to the Aux Input setting.  You will get an error about not able to display while driving.  Just ignore it as it is for the video part. _____________________________ 20AE IY#3600 (w/ESP) | 07 Outlander XLS 4wd (in reply to ShortyRider) Post #: 2

Do I control the playlist on my iPod or the screen? _____________________________ LaLaLaLaLa!!! 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS Graphite Gray, Navi /Entertainment Package OEM Cross Bars Installed!

It goes from something like 3.5mm to rca jacks. What ever the port on the top of your ipod is. You have to control the music from your ipod though. Kind of better than your radio controlling it. I have found scrolling through your ipod is way faster than using your radio to go through all the songs. _____________________________ 07 XLS Outlander Graphite Gray Pearl Navi, Sun + Sound, Luxury, AWD 1970 Chevelle 350 http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/antlip/Chevelle/Picture001.jpg 1995 Eclipse GSX Auto 6 Bolt SOLD (in reply to ShortyRider) Post #: 4

So that is why I use the small hole on top to rca jacks. When my ipod is low on battery I use the oem ipod car charger. With using the top port for music you have full ability to charging it on the bottom. _____________________________ 07 XLS Outlander Graphite Gray Pearl Navi, Sun + Sound, Luxury, AWD 1970 Chevelle 350 http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/antlip/Chevelle/Picture001.jpg 1995 Eclipse GSX Auto 6 Bolt SOLD (in reply to chenarm) Post #: 6

When you open the flap face to put in the CD, on the Navi Screen (Top) have this little port, what is that? Some people say its for tech's at the dealer ship only. For updates and such. BUT, my dealer told me its a AUX input for mp3 players and such. I dont use an Ipod so I cant try it. So someone that has an Ipod or other mp3 player should plug in an aux cord to it and see what happens... _____________________________ 07' Outlander XLS 4WD Sun, Sound, Luxury, Nav (in reply to ShortyRider) Post #: 8
