07 Fit..Radio, AUX and MP3

Should tell you in the owner's manual how to access the AUX in. On Scions you press the CD button twice...

Press the AUX button to start playing.

Do you see an AUX button on the head unit or near the jack?

Certainly should be... Do you have the volume up all the way on the shuffle?

Thanks for the replies...I've tried the suggestion offered, tapping the cd button twice only takes me to cd mode. Having the volume all the way up on the Ipod did nothing either. When I made the order for the car, listing all the accessories I wanted, the salesman quipped.."don't even order the MP3 hookup, cuz the guys in service can't get 'em to work, Honda doesn't have the bugs worked out yet"...What I got on the Fit Sport includes the MP3/AUX jack...I'm wondering if there's any truth to the salesman's comment...

Sounds strange to me. There's not much to them...

I have an 06 Civic, and the port works just fine...

The iPod music link allows for control of your iPod through the stereo controls. An aux port is simply a line-in. It doesn't power the device, or control it.

Ahhh - thanks for explaining that.

But you have to press the AUX button for the thing to work in the first place.

Nobody has actually read the Owner's Manual, evidently.

That's correct.

But honestly, can't the carmakers do a better job with the manual? hey, Toyota--burn that Prius manual and pay someone some real money to come up with one that makes sense the *first* time through.

From a Honda Service Bulletin dated May, 2006. It was before the Fit came out but the hardware is the same for all models, just different harness and adapters for different models.

Music Link works only with the Apple iPod; it

won't work with other MP3 players. And it works

only with the 4th-generation iPod, iPod mini®,

iPod nano®, and iPod U2 Special Edition®. If

you've got an iPod shuffle® or a 3rd-generation or

earlier iPod, sorry, you're out of luck.

better yet, burn the car and let the honda sell hybrid civics to the deperate greenies

back to the original topic: looks like the crap from apple can't be controlled thru the usb port found on most aftermarket units these days and requires a dedicated (proprietary) interface: what a piece of crappola from appola

Howard is right. I just had a look at the HSN document he references, and it says just what he quoted. The iPod Shuffle won't work with the Fit's radio.

You might try something like this:

This is specifically for the Shuffle:

I've been using the Belkin in my 06 Civic through the auxiliary jack. It charges the iPod, too.

Hi,

i have the same 2007 model, i have fitted a normal mp3 player with mini stereo audio jack on the aux plug and it works very well altougth you cannot control it on the steering. When i connected the mp3 player the radio automatically has switched in aux mode. If this don't work try a normal mp3 player.
