Car Forum / Honda Cars / May 200707 Fit..Radio, AUX and MP3
I bought an 07 Honda Fit....So far, so good. I like the little feller, nice and sporty with a tight 5spd transmission. I'm pleasantly surprised at the audio...the sound quality is good, the radio reception is ok... My question involves the AUX...Down in the console, there is a plug with AUX on it..it is next to the power cord plug..A mini stereo plug fits in the hole marked AUX and the word AUX comes up on the radio display. I have an Ipod Shuffle... If I connect the Ipod shuffle to the AUX ...nothing happens...I've read in the owners manual, but I'm not real sure about details.. Any ideas? Is the Ipod Shuffle compatible with the system? Thanks. Perry On Mon, 21 May 2007 10:04:28 -0700, cajunpaisley wrote: > I bought an 07 Honda Fit....So far, so good.

Do you have the volume up all the way on the shuffle? > cajunpais...@yahoo.com wrote: > > I bought an 07 Honda Fit....So far, so good. I like the little [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Thanks for the replies...I've tried the suggestion offered, tapping the cd button twice only takes me to cd mode. Having the volume all the way up on the Ipod did nothing either. When I made the order for the car, listing all the accessories I wanted, the salesman quipped.."don't even order the MP3 hookup, cuz the guys in service can't get 'em to work, Honda doesn't have the bugs worked out yet"...What I got on the Fit Sport includes the MP3/AUX jack...I'm wondering if there's any truth to the salesman's comment... Perry If the aux works for iPods, why has Honda been selling the iPod Music Link accessory? >> cajunpais...@yahoo.com wrote: quoted text - > Thanks for the replies...I've tried the suggestion offered, tapping > the cd [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > any truth to the salesman's comment... > Perry > If the aux works for iPods, why has Honda been selling the iPod Music Link > accessory? The iPod music link allows for control of your iPod through the stereo controls. An aux port is simply a line-in. It doesn't power the device, or control it. > The iPod music link allows for control of your iPod through the stereo > controls. An aux port is simply a line-in.

Ahhh - thanks for explaining that. >> If the aux works for iPods, why has Honda been selling the iPod Music >> Link accessory? > > The iPod music link allows for control of your iPod through the stereo > controls.

Nobody has actually read the Owner's Manual, evidently.

That's correct. But honestly, can't the carmakers do a better job with the manual? hey, Toyota--burn that Prius manual and pay someone some real money to come up with one that makes sense the *first* time through. > In article <Xns9937C6106991Ateg...@207.14.116.130>, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Toyota--burn that Prius manual and pay someone some real money to come > up with one that makes sense the *first* time through. better yet, burn the car and let the honda sell hybrid civics to the deperate greenies back to the original topic: looks like the crap from apple can't be controlled thru the usb port found on most aftermarket units these days and requires a dedicated (proprietary) interface: what a piece of crappola from appola >> In article <Xns9937C6106991Ateg...@207.14.116.130>, >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > these days and requires a dedicated (proprietary) interface: > what a piece of crappola from appola Howard is right. I just had a look at the HSN document he references, and it says just what he quoted. The iPod Shuffle won't work with the Fit's radio.

I have an 06 Civic, and the port works just fine... From a Honda Service Bulletin dated May, 2006. It was before the Fit came out but the hardware is the same for all models, just different harness and adapters for different models. Howard Music Link works only with the Apple iPod; it won't work with other MP3 players. And it works only with the 4th-generation iPod, iPod mini®, iPod nano®, and iPod U2 Special Edition®. If you've got an iPod shuffle® or a 3rd-generation or earlier iPod, sorry, you're out of luck. <cajunpaisley@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1179767066. > hole marked AUX and the word AUX comes up on the radio display. > I have an Ipod Shuffle...

This is specifically for the Shuffle: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=247396 I've been using the Belkin in my 06 Civic through the auxiliary jack. It charges the iPod, too. --Nan >I bought an 07 Honda Fit....So far, so good.

When i connected the mp3 player the radio automatically has switched in aux mode. If this don't work try a normal mp3 player.
