Can I hook up my DVD player to the bus?Spencey said:aux is your bus in, but you need to go into the main setup menu for Sony decks to turn on Aux mode for you to be able to switch to that source. It doesn't detect on its own like Alpine does.
Sure, it's designed to transfer the sound to the head unit for cleaner sound that an FM modulator and should work well with a cleaner sound.rey rey said:Can I hook up my DVD player to the bus?

I don't think that the unit has an AUX option since it doesn't say it on the back.
these old models at least most of them weren't made for an aux input because a few years back this wasn't necesasy. AUX usually came on radios over $400 at least this is what I think since the 2 units I bought in the past 5 years were both $500 and they both had several inputs not to mention at least 4 rca outputs.
you have a 50 50 chance that it will work with the cd changer input. with all the s**t out there you should find something.
if any of the pieces you mentioned have rca inputs than that's why you have a 50 50 chance

cheaper way fm trasmitter, better way hell naw, the aux controller usint will insure you get cd quality...
You call Sony yet? Easy definate answer, im sure there's a cheap adapter to add aux in
umm no there isn't. trus me i have sony, have gone through everything... aux controller usit is the only way cause the deck only has an out for the cd changer not a aux, and the cd changer is different the headunit can't just plug and play, so the aux controller is neededhooked_on4 said:You call Sony yet?
