The gizmo he bought provides the Bluetooth connection. The problem is getting the gizmo to communicate with the head unit via the cable.
@Mazdaguy29 speaking of cables, it is possible that the cable is defective despite the fact that it powers your Bluetooth adapter.
For the iPod to connect to the radio there should be an interface module installed behind the radio, then the cable is routed through a hole drilled into the back of the glove box or console.
To find a user’s manual you would need to know the manufacture of the installation kit.
Some have a small switch added to switch the iPod module on. Some use the antenna cable and you tune to a selected frequency. If you gain access to the module, you can check which frequency has been chosen or select a different frequency.
When I press the media button nothing happens. It appear if I cycle thru the cd button I get what I believe is the aux input fir said cable but I can’t get anything to play
I had a vehicle that the auxiliary input only worked if the volume of the input was high enough. Otherwise it switched to a different source. Something to consider.
I had the output volume on my phone set to 100%…
Sorry, I’m running out of ideas. It may well boil down to the cable being defective.
Thanks for trying
