C1 Airplay Question

[mills705]

Hi,

Im getting one of these in about 2 weeks, 06 reg. Its been my grans for two years and has very low mileage- 1205 miles! When she got the car, she recieved the ipod nano which she should have but didnt have the ipod holder or aux jack. This aint a problem i have one in my old car. My question is does anyone else have this car? In the glovebox/cubbyhole on the passenerger side there is a wire coming from between two pieces of trim. Ive always though this was the jack for the ipod since it goes sideways towards the radio. However I tried my ipod on it and pressed the aux/cd button and the radio didnt change. So that rules out the ipod jack. The wire is black and can reach the shelf, i think it may be double sheath ie two wires fused together. If anybody has an idea as to what this is can they let me know. I have emailed the dealer where she bought it from asking about the wire, my other idea was the electronic diagnostics but im not sure its that at all. The dealer hasnt replied btw.

Any input wouldbe great... if not i will go to the dealers when i get it.

Does your radio/CD unit not come with an aux jack output ?

My Vibe model (a year and a half old) comes with it.

 

It is a small hole on the bottom LHS of the units facia. You can connect MP3 player, or IPOD direct to this through a cable. Though it is a bit unsightly.

Yes it has the aux jack output on the radio fascia. I no this since i have used my ipod through this previously. I dont think you really read my question.

On the passenger side, theres a wire coming from the centre console near the radio and its coming out between two pieces of trim in the storage area. Mine and my Dads original thoughts were that it was the jack since the cable was not supplied with the car (as it appears to be done in pictures online). But having tested my ipod using the wire it doesnt work. So its use is a mystery, i have emailed the dealership asking them but have had no reply.

So that was my question, whats this wire? I am going to get a pic 2nite of it after i have been to uni. Ill post it up when I get in.
