Aux Input
Hey Guys,
In the Audio menu I have an "Aux" input. When i select it no sound comes from anywhere. Is there an audio input in the car? Like a 3.5" jack for a mp3 player?

Wait a minute folks....are you telling me that it's possible that I might have an AUX-in somewhere in my glove box? This would be a tremendous discovery!!! I don't have an AUX button on the head unit, so I'm afraid I know the answer.

Here are the positives:
1. a large screen and a much better interface
2. With a Euro COMAND -- ability to play DVD Movies, MP3s, and watch TV (by adding a TV tuner into the system).
3. With US COMAND -- ability to play MP3s and add SAT radio broadcasts
4. AUX input on all COMAND units (doesn't matter if it's US or Euro Version)
5. Better experience with your Navigation system (if you have one installed).
You should be able to find a US COMAND for about $500-$600. Euro COMAND sell for higher prices due to added capabilities.
Hope this helps.

Its an Audio (only) input. You can connect the audio output (Headphone Output or non adjustable volume output) from any source to it, press the soft key marked AUX, & the sound will now be amplified & delivered thru the cars speaker/amp system, with volume adjustability, just like you would adjust the volume of the radio.

It is not an equivalent to the Ipod interface; the Ipod interface permits navigating the Ipod menu's through your steering wheel controls and lets you see your selections on the dash.
