I have a Kenwood KDC-MP235 installed now and bought a cable to run from my MP3 player into the aux input on the front of the unit but I can not get it to play or find an aux input switch anywhere on the unit. Unfortunately I can not locate the manual.

get a new cable or check aux input connection

select the auxillary input display and push the control knob left or right until you see portable, then you should be able to play your mp3 device

If your Kenwood has an AUX input then you can connect a audio cable from the headphone connector on the Zune to the the AUX input on the Kenwood. Power up the Zune ans set it to music and switch the Kenwood to AUX.

Try selecting aux with the SRC button.

well first off have you thought about getting a CD deck that has AUX input so you can hook up your MP3 to the deck by an AUX cable. as far as the tape player running slow i would say it needs to be cleaned by a professional because the little rubber belt may be going bad also. If you want to go to a AUX CD deck look at crutchfield.com or go to an authorized kenwood dealer in your area and look for the kenwood KDC-MP245. Going through the AUX instead of tape would sound a little bit better and if you want to go a bit better than the AUX then you should go to the KDC-HD545U. The KDC-MP245 is $99.99 before shipping and the KDC-HD545U is $169.99 before shipping. I hope I answered your question and please vote and leave high marks. Thank you very much.

You have to go into the standby menu and turn aux on. Go to standby, push menu button and scroll down to aux and turn on

Select aux on the source button, press play on your mp3.

turn radio to stanby. hold function key until a menu appears. then switch on aux in. this should alow you to plug ipod in throough aux in on source menu.

The red and white RCA terminals on the back of the unit are generally outputs for amplifiers. To use AUX the unit will need to have a 3.5mm jack in the front or rear. If not than the unit does not have AUX input capabilities.

The front aux input is only capable of accepting audio signals and definitely won't display any track tags.

If you have an iPod, I think with the KCA-iP500 adapter it will display song info on the front as well as allow control from the Kenwood's controls.

As far as the song info on a CD - it should display if you've got a CD with CDTEXT info on it, or if you're playing an MP3/WMA CD. Most regular audio CDs won't be able to display song info.
