Non Audi Head Unit Question. I installed a new radio/cd/mp3 player
in my truck not my TT. It has aux input jacks. I have not been able to get my ipod to work with this connection. Is there anouther interface that goes in between these jacks and the ipod or could there be anouther problem? Any ideas-Thanks

Does anything else work with the aux port?
Maybe a stupid question, but is the volume on the iPod ALL the way up? It doesn't use line levels so the HU might not be detecting a high enough signal. You should be able to hear *something* with the levels cranked up on both sides.
Of course you RTFM for the HU, right? You may have to enable it somehow, or it's got a separate volume maybe?

No, tried portable CD player and Ipod. I will replace the
wire that connects the Ipod to the aux Jacks and see what happens. The HU has a feature that allows you to scroll for the different imputs, does not see an input at the aux jacks. Thanks for the reply

Yes you are correct. For some reason however it does
not see that there is a device plugged into the aux jacks. At least that's what I think is happening. I of course am among the electronically challenged, and could be wrong. There is a button that is used to scroll through options for listening; Tuner, CD, Standby and Aux. Every thing is available but Aux, that's with Ipod plugged in and at full volume. So anyhow, thanks for the reply I will take car trim off and recheck connections not sure what else to do. I appreciate the time you took to help on this matter.

It doesn't care if anything is plugged in, or even if there's a signal...
You need to use the menu system to turn Aux On, so it can be selected.
