#1 of 8 CX9 Aux Input by denyrunner Dec 08, 2007 (9:51 am)
When I plug my MP3 into the aux port in the center console, I only get a single channel. I have changed cords and I either get one channel or the other depending on the cord. Does anyone know why or do I need to purchase a certain cord to satify the aux input port?

Replying to: denyrunner (Dec 08, 2007 9:51 am) Do you have Sirius? You might have to get a switchbox to get things working properly.   If you don't have Sirius, the plug might not be seating properly and toggling both channels. I'll assume that headphones work properly in your MP3 player (i.e. you get both channels), so try removing/inserting the cord slowly from the aux input to see if it toggles both channels. Try doing the same on the player side while the cord is plugged into the AUX. If it does toggle, it's not seating properly--might have to get replaced.   I'd plug another MP3 player into the AUX and see if it has the same issue. Or plug your MP3 player into a receiver in your house using the same cord used in the CX-9 (might have to get the bigger adapter that plugs into the headphone port).

Replying to: nxs138 (Dec 08, 2007 8:41 pm) Thanks for the reply. Actually I had tried what you suggested earlier with no luck and yes, my headphones work properly with the same cords.. I had just upgraded my MP3 and tried with both my old one (RIO) and my new one (Zune). I tried a gold double jack cord as well as one from my Bose headphones. I'm thing the jack is not wired correctly. I will try the receiver at home also. May have to try in another vehicle at the dealer to prove out. If I find the problem I will post.

Replying to: denyrunner (Dec 08, 2007 11:21 pm) I got a new hi-quality cord at radio shack and that did the trick. The bose headphone cord is specific to the headphones and my other cord must of been single channel or not quite right on way or another. Anyway, sounds awsome now and I'm a happy camper. Thanks all.
#6 of 8 Volume by ceric Mar 13, 2008 (4:14 pm)
My only complaint about the Aux Input is that I have to jack up the volume on my MP3 player to MAX in order to hear the sound at the same level as the CD/FM/etc.. Is this normal? Replies to this message: maltb (Mar 13, 2008 4:23 pm) denyrunner (Mar 13, 2008 8:46 pm)

Replying to: ceric (Mar 13, 2008 4:14 pm) Yes, input jacks are typically designed for "line out" volumes. I have the same issue on several other components that have Aux in.

Replying to: ceric (Mar 13, 2008 4:14 pm) I use a Tune with my CX9 and I found that you have to work the volume settings together. I have not had any problem getting the volume I want, but need to make sure it is turned up on the MP3 player and then I adjust it on the Boseto the level I want. Works great.
