hi guys,whats the script with the aux in jack plug,can you use a standard mp3 player and a lead with a 3.5 jack on each end or do you need a special adapter???

aux in(3.5 jack)

You can plug in any audio source that outputs via a 3.5mm socket, most likely a mp3 player or phone. Hit the Media button on the radio and select AUX to use it.
No adapters required, its just a standard cable

hi again tried that with the cable above but nothing coming through,when i got the car it had the ipod cable adapter and dock fitted in the glove box,could this be conflicting with the jack plug or could the jack have been disconnected for the ipod or do they connect independantly
have you switched the media source from the radio?
maybe i missed something but if you have the ipod dock in the glovebox why do you need the 3.5mm jack? ipod option as far as i know from mine is a split y cable that goes in to the jack AND usb.
if you plug an audio device (e.g ipod) from the headphone jack with the cable above, selext AUX from the audio menu and you get nothing, then you may have a problem. The car speakers are essentially one big set of earphones

Sounds like someone has fitted an aftermarket iPod adaptor which may have disabled your AUX input in that case. From the factory they either have the AUX input or CUP (Combined USB port), the glovebox cable isn't original.
Aftermarket kit has been fitted and it uses the aux feed on the back of the head unit so the standard one will not work no more
