Where the ipod goes the male connector has broken off - i am using the AUX jack but would love to buy the board withthe connector on it and simply replace - can i do that. I have remove the broken part and can send a pic if that would help or tell which numbers are relevant please

Take a look at the inputs on the DVD player. If it has an AUX input (looks like a headphone jack) you may be able to connect with a male to male 3.5mm headphone jack. Otherwise you could use a converter that goes from headphone jack to RCA (Red, White, Yellow)

Hi,there is no need for special connector..you can connect it thru",audio IN RCA jacks " on your receivers AUX input..Your ipod shoud have a cable or you can buy it from any Super market as " Stereo RCA (male ) to Headphone jack (male ) " and than connect it headphone jack..bingo, you than listen it thru Surround receiver..
Hope it helps..pls remember to vote us..Thanks

Contrary to the below Expert's testimony, the UK CDX-M880 has a REAR AUX connector that will enable you to play your iPod through your car's stereo.

You will not be able to control the ipod's interface through the radio. You will have to use the control on the iPod .

You require a Male 3.5mm extension cable like the following...

A 4-6 foot length is recommended, as the cable will need to be routed from behind the radio to a place your iPod can be easily manipulated.

A double male mini 3.5 mm headphone jack you can get at walmart or radio shack.... does your car dash have a small headphone style jack? if your ipod head phones will plug into it then it is exactly what i described above.... Good luck

If your Sony has female RCA Aux inputs, then you can use that going headphone out of MP3 player to the RCA inputs. You won't be able to view or controll any other player from the head unit except an iPod.

I use the Aux to plugin my Ipod, amke sure you have it set on. Then it acts as the plugin. it was originally there for XM radio or a tv.

There is a RCA cable that comes off the back of the radio and also another cable for 3.5mm (mini-stereo jack) that also comes off the back of the radio. The RCA jacks can be used for "AUX" or "Sub-woofer" and the 3.5mm jack is just for "AUX". Your ipod can use the audio output jack or the headphone jack and plug that into the 3.5 mm jack on the back of the radio. You will need a "3.5mm male" to "3.5mm male" stereo cord that can be purchased at Radio Shack or Best Buy. Then you select "AUX" on the display with the source button to listen to it. You may need to go into the menu and activate the "AUX" input. Check your owners manual for details.

Hi,
as you do not mention the model I have to guess that your player has a aux-in on phono (or RCA) jack. If you want to plug the iPod just buy a "Twin phono to 3.5mm stereo jack cable".
You can find in many superstores or Maplin.

I have the same problem with an XM radio
