M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info

[marcus]

I tried the aux in this morning,  it doesn't appear to work anymore with the new head unit. I had a quick look through the menu options again and the aux1 application is the video in feed.

To be honest,  I installed it a while ago so can't really remember a connector to the unit for the aux in. It didn't really help that I swapped out my auxin only dashboard console for a auxin/usb one at the same time as well so I was focusing on the new usb port addition.

Many thanks for trying this.  Looking at the pic of the cable bundle it looks like the original aux-in mini-jack connects to two phono plugs, and the only place I could see them connecting to, was the video-in on the S160, so that all makes sense.

It looks like the Vauxhall socket has an extra wire, to tell the original radio that the socket has a plug in it.  I was wondering whether that connection gets picked up, and tells the S160 to switch input source.  From what you say, it doesn't.

So I am tempted to get one of these www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CEN-Flush-Mount-1m-3-5mm-AUX-USB-2RCA-Extension-Lead-Socket-Car-Dash/231734299699 and replace the existing aux-in, and on the other side of the cubby, put in a dual USB power outlet.  Just need to check the space next to the lighter socket is deep enough.

I'm getting a much clearer picture of what I want to do.  Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks
Jonathan.

That looks good. Should work. Personally I have no use for the aux in anymore as the other options are better imo. I. E. Usb x 2, SD card, mp3s on cd or dvd, Spotify etc. I only use the SD card and Spotify so don't even use the usb ports. Cheers
