MK4 Mondeo AUX Input

Collected my Mk4 Mondeo today and looking over the stereo connections I've found an AUX In within the glove box. However, it doesn't appear to work despite there being a button on the unit for AUX.

Have I missed something? Do I need to buy a fitting?

Cheers :)

Mine is a 6 disk CD changer and when changing to the AUX input it brings up an icon on the screen (Dash Screen using Converse+) which looks like it requires a cable to be connected.

I'll get a pic of it when it gets lighter outside.

I have a 3.5mm Jack>Jack already - are you saying that the connection in the glove box is there but hidden behind it?

Sorted :D

When I tested it yesterday, I got no sound which made me think it wasn't working. It would seem that unlike my old Fiesta, when you connect the AUX cable it doesnt feel like its plugged in. In the Mondeo, its quite light and easy move and coupled with the fact its quiet and not great quality, made me think it didn't work.

Thanks for all your help :)

Glad ya sorted it pal. Ya right the sound quality isnt sparkling. Not sure if you can upgrade to a usb conection on your h/u but worth looking into. Cheers
For a pre Sept 08 the aux connection is mono only (hence the bad quality). After that it moved to be stereo audio.

this is the reason i changed h/u so i can run a usb for mi ipod for better sound quality. That and the standed silver single cd ford unit looks shocking
