Default Aux Connection

Does anyone connect their mp3 player (not an ipod, have a Sansa) thru the AUX connector?

If so, how does it sound?

Where did you get the cable from?

Did you connect it the mp3 player's headphone outlet?

Yup! I have a Creative Zen Vision M and an Ipod Nano I connect through the aux in the armrest. I think the sound quality from the ipod is average, but I really like the sound quality from my Creative. I bought the cable at Walmart for 5 bucks, and yes, you connect it via your headphone jack. Just buy a 3.5mm plug to 3.5mm plug cable at your local wally world!

iPod sounds pretty good on my ML system, not near CD quality, but good bass and definitely listenable.

there is a better cable than the 3.5mm to 3.5mm (head phone jack to aux input): the Ipod dock connector to 3.5mm cable. Sounds much better. About $5 on ebay or amazon.com
