robster Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) Hey guys, I guess that we all have the same Head Unit either with or without MP3 capability?I got screwed and have the one without and I want to plug in my MP3 Player.Ebay have got something if you search for "RCD200" but they are in China!!!!!!!Anyone got something like it? Is it any good? Anyone find one for less that the price of years insurance? Robster Edited January 8, 2008 by robster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOX12 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Good post cos i'd love to find out, kinda regret not having the mp3 connection installed when i ordered the car but there's only so much money you can fork out haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsumaru Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hi guys first post! I've got a 1.4 urban fox on a 57 plate (with mp3 player) and tinted windows in tornado red. Will find somewhere to upload a picture lol.This is one thing that confuses me about a fox, when you press CD when it's already on CD mod - is says AUX ... but there is no AUX connection for an ipod or something lol...someone find out quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue-Fox Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hi mate, mine is an '08 plate fox and it comes as standard with a white port in the glovebox and when you plug an mp3 player into it it plays through the stereo when you put it in aux 1 mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsumaru Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 oh my god you legend!!!!!!!! i saw the white thing but never got close enough to see there was an aux in LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you mate !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Finally a useful thread in the Fox forum!Im gonna pin the thread as Im sure this will come in handy!Welcome to you new guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strudle Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 yeah if you look in the glovebox, on the top of it you will find a white plastic square with a 3.5mp3 jack in!! simply plug your player into it and select aux on the stereo, think i pressed cd again to select aux!!??!

FLO7LXJ Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Damn is the aux only in an 08 model. I have found a kit for you to put your ipod in, but I need a pic of the back of the stadard headunit, also can I get away with just two removel keys rarther than four. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsumaru Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I reckon you can get away with 2 removal keys if but you'll have to be quite careful and probably take a while.I've got the aux on a 57 plate just so you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponyremark Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 I've got the aux on a 57 plate just so you knowI've got the aux connection in the glove box on an 07 plate, too. Seeing this thread has finally made me think about making use of it!Could anyone give me a few pointers as to setting this up to play an iPod through the stereo? Two points:1. What kind of connection to the iPod do I need - one through the headphone jack or through the dock connector? Is one better than the other?2. How do I get the stereo into aux mode? I've pressed the CD button twice, but no joy. Maybe that's because I don't have anything connected to the aux socket though (still need to buy a cable) - is that right?Thanks in advance for any help.

Tatsumaru Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hi ponyremarkGood start that you have the aux point in the glove box...I have my ipod plugged in there, i simply use a Male - Male 3.5mm aux cable to connect my ipod to it. Then I just turn my ipod on, turn on the stereo and keep pressing "CD" until it says Aux.... now i do only have to press it once or twice obviously twice if the stereo is set to FM One thing i would try - plug ANY 3.5 aux cable into your glove box thing - make sure it "feels" like it goes in... i'm thinking it might just be a hole if your stereo won't set to Aux - better check!!So to answer question 1, I use the headphone jack on the ipod - seems to work fine. Only thing I have noticed is that I have turn the stereo up more than radio. No problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLO7LXJ Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 No I have a piece of black plastic in my glove box. dose anyone have a pic of the aux and maybe of the back of the stereo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I have noticed is that I have turn the stereo up more than radio. No problem.Hi Tatsumaru,Thanks for the response. I've done as you suggested, linking the iPod via a 3.5mm male to male connection, but no joy. If a CD is in when this is connected, pressing the CD button twice does nothing. Without a CD in, I just get the message 'No CD'. There doesn't seem to be any mention of an aux connection at all. So I have the socket, and it feels like the cable is connecting okay when I plug the aux cable into it, but maybe it's not, as you suggest, wired up? The car's due a service in a month, so I might just mention it when I'm there and see if the dealer can shed any light on it. I'll just have to keep burning those MP3 CDs - at least my stereo is that version. Maybe your stereo isn't, hence the difference between us both?For FL07LXJ, here's some images of the aux socket. No pics of back of stereo, I'm afraid:Glove box, showing aux socket in white at top left:Close up of aux socket: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsumaru Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Beautiful pictures mate nice worksorry but i have the mp3 function and aux lol. i've never seen "no cd". very strange that they tease you with half of what you need lol.....good luck at the dealer mate - might just be something very simple or they might replace the head unit for you. good luck let us know in a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponyremark Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 sorry but i have the mp3 function and aux lol. i've never seen "no cd". very strange that they tease you with half of what you need lol.....good luck at the dealer mate - might just be something very simple or they might replace the head unit for you. good luck let us know in a month Just my luck to have half a MP3 connection! Planning booking the car in in late July, so I'll certainly mention it to the dealer. Hope it's just a matter of wiring up an existing connection. Thanks for your help anyway.Oh, and I'm a girl, but thanks for the 'mate' mention ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLO7LXJ Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks for the pics. I went in to Halfords for the keys to remove the stereo and they said they don't keep them in stock, but he offered me Vauxhall double din keys (what a knob). I think I will remove the stereo and have a look when i get some keys. thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shona1985 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 i managed to get a jack for my ipod and have had no problems up to now, its not to do with the car its the lead. I can one cheap off of ebay and i managed to get my to sit mostly in the glove comparment and shut the door with a small lead. And now because of this the lead is all wonky and it distorts the music . Just wondered if anyone else had this issue and found a way round it instead of keeping the glove copartment open all the time...annoying esp for the passenger.....
