Welcome To The Club!

The gen 3s have an auxillary input and a button labeled AUX. I looked at the 06 owner's manual, and on the Canadian models they have a CD/AUX button on the sound system but as you indicated no information on it. Perhaps they use the same radio in other Honda models that do use the aux input, or maybe there is an aux input on the back of the unit that was never hooked up to anything. I don't know to be honest.

Welcome to the club and good luck with your aux search.

 

I believe you can purchase an adapter that plugs into the OEM harness for an IPOD interface or simple input. To toggle through the inputs, that button is there on the CDN models. I believe US models had XM as another input as there was the option of dealer subscribed XM service...

 

the answer

the aux button is for external imputs. if you get the unit disconected, then you can either connect a cd changer, or an other imput into it, i ahve plugged my ipod into it. To activate it you just have to click on the cd/aux, push it once and you activate the cd player, push it agin and you get what ever you have plgged into your aux input.
hope this helped

 

i think he is trying to say he cannot find an aux input, i believe there should be one on the back of the HU. im not sure though

 

The 2006 has an aux input on the back of the radio in the form of two RCA inputs, red and white.

 

Do you have a picture of this? Neither the owners or service manuals make any reference to RCA imputs on the back of the radio. I used to handle all of the reman radio returns for our dealership and have never seen them.

 

I almost bought a 2006 radio, and it had a red and white aux input on the back. Maybe it was not fro ma Cr-v? It looked the same.

 

There definately isn't any rca plug in the back of the headunit. Took the radio out today to check.

I'm clueless where to go from here. I'd like to be about to use this to hook up my XM XpressRC, installing it in the hole under the radio.

Any ideas?

 

I am at a loss. That's not what the back looked like of the one I saw, definitly wasn't from a Honda then I guess. Did you check the harness and see if it had any empty wires that didn't seem to attach to the stereo?

 

When you say harness what are you talking about? Haha sorry. I'll pull it back out tonight or tomorrow evening. Thats the nice thing is its so much easier to take out than on my old Civic.

I talked to a guy on Xmfan.com and he told me I'd need a PIE adapter but thats like 60/70 bucks. I was hoping for something a little cheaper. But you'd think since AUX is clearly printed on the radio there would be an easier way.

 

The AUX is for a Honda accessory (CD changer, XM, etc) or something else.

Like someone else mentioned before, there are no RCA input/output on the back of the HU.

 

Oh, I see, it's probably that white socket thing on the left, just before the antenna jack. The big one in the middle is the only harness spot I'm familliar with on the gen 2, so for the aux, they must mean an alternate 6 disc changer or other Honda thing, though I see no purpose for an alternate 6 disc because that feature is already built in on the Ex's.

 

On my 06 EX, there was already a harness connected to the white jack that ran to the back. It is for the satellite radio (my button is labeled CD/XM), but on non-EX models, I'm guessing you're right.

 

I have never in my carrer seen a factory in dash with rca inputs or outputs. BTW there is no way to put an external portable xm or sirius unit on the factory radio other than a wired fm modulator or harwireing into the rear of an oem aux mini plug if the car comes with one.

The only was to get xm/sirius into the fatory id is to buy the specific oem reciever.

 

I have never in my carrer seen a factory in dash with rca inputs or outputs.

I think the one I saw may have been one of those aftermarket double dins that looks all ugly like a stock one.

 

that makes more sense, but I've never seen an oem ID (in dash) with it.

 

Right has this AUX thing been sorted as i wanna know if i can connect my mp3 player via a headphone socket on these ??

 

Bump

has this been sorted ?

 

you need to buy an accessory part to get an auxilary input into the factory head unit.

 

so what is this part needed,

any idea of the part number ect ?

 

what do you want to put in. A mini aux plug, or an actual ipod?

 

a normal aux connector, like a headphone socket so i can plug any mp3 player into it

 

you can go to best buy and add in a wired fm modulator, with the aux add on kit, but it wont run off the oem radio's aux button. I bet its cheaper though

 

ok, thats really odd to be picking up alternator wine, but again, it sounds like a bad modulator. I put these in, no joke, DAILY, with zero issues.

 

What brand do you use? I had a Scosche and some generic one. Both were powered via the aux power lead, and nothing else was plugged into that.

I think my friend had an Audiovox, but not totally sure about that one. He inserted a toggle switch into the power line so he could turn it on/off. This eliminated the terrible FM reception.

 

the reception will be bad if you have something plugged in and the fm mod is on. I run a garage for best buy, so I use whatever they have. Maybe it's metra, I cant remember

 

The AUX jack is in the middle console on my 2008 CRV. It's in near where you have your 2nd 12volt adapter. You can plug an MP3 player into it.

 

Only thing in that location on the 2006 is a cup holder and a storage tray. It doesn't even have the 12V aux adapter (except in the very rear of the vehicle).

 

Aux PLug

Is this Aux plug in the console of the new generation CRV (2007+) a stereo mini plug that my wife can just plug her Ipod into?
What happens on the screen (I have a NAV) after it is plugged in? Does it automatically know that the Aux is being used?
Thanks

 

Aux issues

....so I've read this whole thread and still havn't figured out exactly what I need to do to get my girlfriends 06 CR-V Ex's 6cd changer/cassette radio with no aux option on radio or plug anywhere hooked up for an ipod.

Can one of you electronic geeks point me excactly where I need to go and exactly what type of device I need and eactly how I attach said device.

......sorry that I need to be led to water....

 

Here we go. I got the info on another forum.....simple and inexpesive.

I was just about to say, again, and oem ipod integration module, or a wired fm modulator. The one you picked will not work with the nav system stock, and if you have a cd changer, like most units, you will lose it. I also dont know if that one will charge your ipod, I didnt look close enough, but that is a must imo.
