Switching to Auxiliary on older Pioneer car stereo

posted by ealadner on Jun 25, 2008


I recently in stalled a Pioneer KEH-P3700 that I bought years ago but never used - literally new in the box - in my '95 Saturn, planning to use an adapter cable plugged into the CD changer jack to connect a satellite radio or an iPod.
I have everything working, except that I cannot get the unit to switch to the Auxiliary setting. The instructions are not the greatest, but they seem to say that repeatedly pressing the Function button should cycle through different sources, including AUX.
However, all I can get are the tuner and M-CD. It does not seem to matter whether the adapter is attached to the unit, or whether anything is attached to the other end of the cable; just the two choices.

Am I missing something in the switching procedure, or is my "new" receiver malfunctioning?
Many thanks!

Finally figured it out!
You have to hold down the Function button for two seconds with the unit switched OFF; then you can set it to M-CD OFF and AUX ON.
It actually is in the instructions, just not very clear, at least to me!

Thanks for the tip! I also had this issue. The Pioneer book for the unit never mentions this, maybe the adapter install book did, but I got mine off ebay without a guide. Works fine now though!
