Title: RNS510 Aux-in issues
Post by: holty on February 10, 2013, 05:02:11 pm

Having a few issues trying to get my Aux (in armrest) to work with my RNS510.

I have a MDI kit and bought a loom from Eddie to connect the MDI loom to the Aux socket. I've checked the wiring and it looks like its all wired up correctly.

I've enabled Aux-In in the RNS settings and played around with the volume (on both the RNS and device connected to Aux). I've even bought a new Aux socket from the dealers in case mine was faulty.

Not sure what else to try - or does something need to be coded? I haven't tried a different 3.5mm audio cable - so plan to buy another.

Any ideas? The MDI works fine so that loom appears ok.

when you add something to the aux socket is there anything connected to the mdi?

Eddie - do I need to code anything? Was hoping it was plug and play. Any other ideas what it could be?

Yeah AUX is showing on the top right of the media screen. When I press AUX the screen just says AUX on the display. I've tried all 3 input volume levels (in settings > media) and played with the volume on the phone.

Would the display show tracks / artists when connected?

Not sure what else to try here - unless there is an issue with the wiring / coding?

Have you rebooted the RNS510 after the coding etc?

Would reseting the RNS cause VIM to deactivate? Wasn't too sure on doing a factory reset!

There's a risk with everything you touch but it should be fine.

There's a few links on here on how to reset it, read them and see if your happy to proceed.
