honda accord LX 2005 MP3 Player

I have LX 2005. It has an AUX button in the front but I cannot see any
AUX input anywhere in the front.

Can anybody tell me where is the AUX input located and how can I access
it? Any recommedations for the AUX adaptor from the mp3 player
(earphone output) to the AUX input of the OEM stereo.

I forgot to mention, I have only the basic CD player and the radio that
comes with LX. I did not go in for a cassette player because I thought
managing tapes is a pain and I decided to digitize all my tapes into
CD's

Thanks for your help

You must add the MP3 player accessory, then the AUX button will function.

Yes ! I understand that. My question was where is the jack to add the
MP3 player? I do not see any input ports anywhere in my car.

Re: honda accord LX 2005 MP3 Player

Thanks for your reply. Does it imply, I need to open up the dash board
to take the stereo out? Is there any way of looking at it without
opening up stufff? Is there an installation manual that explains how to
open it up?

Re: honda accord LX 2005 MP3 Player

Thank you for your reply. Does it mean, I need to open up the
dashboard, the front coffee cup holders to remove the stereo. Is there
any other way of making sure I have the jack on the stereo before I buy
the cable? Is there any installation manual?`

There is an empty connector on the back of my 2003 Civic single-CD.
This is intended for a cassette or CD changer, but the P.I.E adapter plugs
in there. My MP3 player appears as a CD changer that's always on disc one
track one.

I didn't pull the radio out. I took the console out and could reach up to
plug the adapter in to the empty jack.

Does this PIE adapter allow you to control the MP3 player (change
tracks, etc.) using the CD track Up/Down controls, or does it just pass
the audio through to the stereo?

Thanks

It just passes audio. There are two RCA phono jacks for connection from
the MP3 player. The audio is clean, unlike the cassette and FM adapters
that I've tried.

Just passes the audio. What you get is vanilla RCA inputs, of which you can
plug any stereo source into.

Re: honda accord LX 2005 MP3 Player

The Honda MP3 player is a hard wired unit. It is mounted below the
current stereo head unit and is connected to it (current audio unit) via
a bus cable. The control you have over the MP3 player is similar to CD
or Tape controls. Your mileage may vary depending on how you compile
your MP3's.
