jnr_j Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Pioneer Headunit AUX Input Help For anyone who has a Pioneer headunit and wants to hook up something to the auxillary input they read about when buying the headunit, there is a cheap way! I checked out the official Pioneer connectors and found that they're actually just tapping into the correct pins on the "P-Bus" connector. Cheaper Alternative Do it yourself! You can either make up some kind of connector, or just hook into the pins you need. The following is a partial pinout for the connector: I also managed to get hold of the schematic for the Pioneer CD-RB20 gizmo (1mb): http://users.tpg.com.au/johnkg/skyline/pio...0-schematic.jpg Info here: http://users.tpg.com.au/johnkg/skyline/pio...neer/index.html Cheers, john Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/43296-pioneer-headunit-aux-input-guide/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

P1E Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Ohhh, I was about to buy a $120.00 Pioneer cable to connect my iPod to my head-unit. Does this work for all Pioneer units? I have a DEH-P4350, or something along those lines. Edit: Just read your links. Looks like it'll work.

P1E Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 I put this connection together today, but my head-unit doesn't recognise my iPod. The Source button just cycles through CD and radio. I have connected four wires (as pictured above) to a left/right RCA cable and I've plugged my iPod into the RCA cable via the headphone output. What am I doing wrong?

paulr33 Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 turn your head unit off. when its off hold down the function button for 5 seconds. a menu will come up where you can enable AUX which is the IPbus connector. You can also rename it like when you name a CD by holding down audio i think when it is selected and you can call it iPod instead of AUX Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/43296-pioneer-headunit-aux-input-guide/#findComment-910085 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnr_j Posted June 28, 2004 Author Share Posted June 28, 2004 Got any pictures of yours to inspire me? I'm iPod-less I'm afraid. I'd like to put in a small computer or linux xbox eventually, but thats a long way off funding wise.

P1E Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Ahh, okay. My iPod is on a 1.5m cord at the moment, so it just floats around. It means I don't get much say in what I listen to when I have a passenger though.

RadiuM Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I was looking at the Pioneer AUX Input option but then i thought to myself, i could do this myself. Screw buying one of the RB20 thingo's when I already have one in my engine bay. I have a basic Pioneer DEH-P2050, it has the IP-BUS thingo but no Aux Inputs but I remembered reading i could switch to AUX etc. which had my puzzled when I installed the stereo. When i bought my iPod I was going to get myself an iTunes unit but read they are pretty shitty, even on their own website they dont say its that crash hot. Then I my manual said something about AUX input so I had a quick look at the stereo again, I then pulled it apart to find on the MotherBoard of the deck it has the AUX input solder points. I simply soldered some wires and some RCA cables onto this and booyah, I had myself some AUX inputs After doing it I found on caraudioaustralia some guy found the same thing and he has also taken a photo of it to show where it is. Very helpful and it saved me $180 for the official Pioneer device.

tang0 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 for some older pioneer units, the key sequence is to have the ignition key in OFF position, hold down button 7 then turn key to acc position, this then enables the AUX input.
