When we got our boat a few weeks ago the previous owner told us he had been using Sirius Satelite radio. He removed the actual unit, but the plugs are still dangling and the receiver is still mounted on the dash.
We dont want Sirius but we DO want an auxilary input to connect an ipod to the main sound system. The head unit is a Sony CDX-L510X. We beleive all the connections from the Sirius are still intact, and one of the plugs is a 3/32" audio cable. We used an adapter to connect to a normal MP3 Auxilary plug and hooked an ipod up. Two problems:
1. We dont know how (on the head unit) to find the Sirius input mode...does Sirius have some kind of special way to get to their system??
2. Is this possible... Can we connect an ipod to the old Sirius audio input plug and have the ipod signal go through the main unit?
Sorry if this is confusing. But Ill take any help, ideas, or answers...
thanks everyone.
