first of all i wanna say thanks to every one who has contributed to making this forum section so informational in which helped me choose my sc430 in which i just bought today
now to my mystery, when i was home i realized their was a hidden aux cable in the side of the passenger seat. i contacted the dealer and he too never noticed it and didnt know how to function it, ive tried going to Am PM CD and Tape mode but never got it to work any suggestions?

 

Congrats on the new purchase!

This is obviously not stock, but something the previous owner did. It definitely looks like a stereo audio connector -- maybe it was used for an aftermarket stereo, but they may have restored the car to the stock setup before selling.

Did you plug it in to an audio source that was playing during your testing?

 

Yes I connected it to my phone and passed play, I then went thru different radio channels, dvd, am, fm1 fm2 but got nothing

 

Look around for additional buttons somewhere, ashtray and lower center console.

 

You will have to open up the console [ very easy to do ] Find out if that cable hooks up to a module or interface . Did you look into the middle console glove box as well as small storage door on back of center arm rest. I would try and contact former owner and see what he tells you

 

Most aux music input modules run music through the CD input. Select CD and or tape and see if you can get music to play when connected to your phone.

 

And keep an eye out for CD1 If you have that, you definitely have another input source.

 

Looks like an iSimple brand connection. Just connect to your phone, play music, set radio to 87.9..

 

I have a AUX speaker input installed in my ML stereo. It is under AUX on the Selector.

That's where I play my Iphone.

Most recently I installed a Bluetooh adapter and now I am wireless. All using the AUX input.

 

What year is your SC430?

 

I've checked all compartments and found no clue, I will pop open the mid console this weekend thanks for the advice

 

It's a 2002

 

What selector?

 

QHahaha good eye it's a isimple aux cable but unfortunately putting on 87.9 didn't work tried it on both fm1 and fm2

 

The isimple has another setting 88.3MHz, I looked it up in the manual, here is the link and I sure hope it works for you. Good Luck!
