I have a Sony Xplod CDX-S2000 CD-R/RW EQ3 car stereo. I want to hook up my ipod, but I don't know if this stereo has the rear RCA inputs or cd changer input necessary to do so. Any advice?? Thanks :)

try isolating the problem by inserting other sources such as tape deck, portable cd players, game consoles, if they work fine, test you ipod cable. next test you ipod on other audio in ports such as karaoke or other component stereos, ask a friend if he or she has one. test both, you may now have the idea where the trouble is.
press and hold the display button, the unit will beep, and the hour number will blink. press the volume up/down buttons to change the digit, press the select button, in the top left button of the faceplate to change from the hour spot to the minute spot, once the time has been set, press display again to save the time.
The "bus audio input" works as an auxiliary input on some Sony decks, but not all. For the others, you need an auxiliary input adapter like this one:

You can also use a Sony iPod adapter that will charge the iPod and let you control it through the head unit controls:

Some Sony head units let you use the Bus audio inputs as an auxiliary source input, but yours is not among them. To play your iPod through the head unit, you'll either need an iPod interface module: http://www.xplodsony.com/xplod/accessories/XA-110IP
or an auxiliary input module: http://www.xplodsony.com/xplod/accessories/XA-300
The iPod interface will allow you to control and display the iPod directly through the head unit, while an auxiliary input adapter will allow the iPod to play through the head unit using the iPod's controls and display.
