Paper I remember when you did this LMAO! It took you long enough to post your work. You always stay quiet an help people behind close door, my self included. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the info bro.

Awesome video! Great info. One question; what do you have to do to get "aux" to show up on the mmi screen? Any idea if it can work if you have both factory ipod and sat radio, or can it have only aux or sat radio?
Thanks!

You can use NCS expert to Add the AUX , &
yes I am sure you will still have your Sat radio
& ipod as long as you don't remove it ...

Yes Paper I know of the old Auxiliary you had workind and then when you replace it with the new one you put in 4 months ago we had talk about it when you got the cable.

& honestly it's sometimes hard to take the time to make
these videos considering how busy I get . I only Posted
them cause I was told that some 1 accused me of taking
credit for there work . I am just glad that you saw my post
& you came in to confirm my statement ( THANKS AGAIN )

If you read my 1'st post & watched the videos
you would have your answer .

but to make things simple for you .
YOU NEED TO HAVE A FACELIFT MMI & A FACELIFT ASK UNIT IN YOUR CAR ...

That's right I forgot about showing you .
THANKS a lot for coming on here & speaking up .

What option in the MMI .trc to turn the aux option on in the MMI?

PAPER: Thank you for your answer. Since I am a curious individual and you seem like a smart dude I have to ask...Whats the difference between new MMI ASK and mine(2004 old one I guess?) Are you saying that my unit does not support onscreen AUX and My ASK doesn't have the same connector in the back of the unit?
Thank you man

I'm sorry buddy , I will have to try & find some time to read
my MMI to give you the answer . Unfortunately I don't remember
what line it was , it was sometime ago when I did this MOD .

Thank you man

correct the old Pre-FaceLift MMI does not support AUX ,
Neither does the Pre-FaceLift ASK Unit . Your old
ASk & the new ASk Unit do have the same plug , but
the old Ask Unit does not support the AUX feature .

...and thats why we need 'Thanks' button in the Threads ! =)

thx Paper!

Thanks.... dont see that option in my MMI.TRC...a little weird. My car was an early build 06...maybe I need to update the software on my MMI?

ACE and PAPER here is my two cents.
I respect both of you and the work you have done on this platform. Your immense experience is much appreciated on this forum for most of us who dont have the experience on this platform.

This back and forth on the forum is getting a little out of hand and borders on niggling. Can we at least get a cease and desist from both of you, or better have both of you take this squabble to PM?

I believe it would be much more beneficial to all of us if the two of you squared this away and got along that if the two of you kept this going.

Then again, i am just a dumb newb to the platform so feel free to ignore my efforts to try and reach some resolution to this impasse of a situation.

it's not only your car . just talked to a friend that is doing the AUX
plug , & his car don't have it in his TRC either .
( FYI HE HAS AN EARLY 07 )
I do find that strange

Definitely a software thing. Aux was introduced in 07 so maybe the early 07s don't have it as well?
