AUX function - what's it for?

[DS3Jo]

My AUX function is just a hole and I understand you have an option for use etc., does anyone know if this can also be a USB and would it have to be re-configured etc?

My 1 series had this option and I miss not having it (I think that's about the only thing I do miss though!)

Thanks

It's not a USB socket, it's for a 3.5mm jack plug, eg from an iPod or iPhone headphone socket.

Not as useful as a USB, as you don't have the same controllability from the head unit or via the steering column controls, but still very useful.

[WTF]

My Dstyle has both Aux and USB, think this is part of the hifi upgrade I picked?

You can retro fit a USB socket, someone did. Cost about £100 for the parts if I remember correctly

As The Guys Have Said Above It's For A Cable That Goes By Many Names ( 3.5mm Jack Lead / Jack - Jack / AUX Cable + More ! ), It Looks Like:-



One End Plugs Into The Aux Socket Hole And The Other Into The Headphone Jack Of Your Music Device,

There Is A Small Adapter Device That You Can Buy From Citroen That Gives You The Use Of USB

The aux input is a pretty standard thing to have. I've never owned a car without it.

Let's all have a quick chorus of "Never Gonna Give You Up" for anyone who's got the THP misfire woes!

I wonder if you can plug in one of those USB Turntables - would set the dash off just lovely

I'm sure I've got some Vinyl sitting around somewhere !

Many years ago, when I started driving, and before the advent of 8-track tape players, a company produced a car record player where you posted the disc in a slot just like modern CD players. It was considered the dog's bollocks at the time.

In my new DS3, I have yet to play a CD. The 16GB USB thumbnail sized stick I have accommodates pretty much all my music, plus a couple of audiobooks and some language courses.

I had a Part-Ex in the other day which had a Mini-Disc player installed!
