I have a scosche ipod connector with an on/off switch on 03 accord but i cant get the stereo to change to aux mode. I repeatedly hit the cd/aux button but it won't switch to aux mode and play mu

you have to change it from the Aux setting to CD when you want to play cd, some cd players switch to aux. automatically when you plug inthe aux. cable. and may have to be unplugged when playing cd.

it could be one of 3 spots on your deck
1 bottom right look for a rca head phone jack
2 top right look for a usb connector
3 back of deck look for rca leads

Contrary to the below Expert's testimony, the UK CDX-M880 has a REAR AUX connector that will enable you to play your iPod through your car's stereo.

You will not be able to control the ipod's interface through the radio. You will have to use the control on the iPod .

You require a Male 3.5mm extension cable like the following...

A 4-6 foot length is recommended, as the cable will need to be routed from behind the radio to a place your iPod can be easily manipulated.

what kind of cd player do you have? you must make sure that your unit has auxillary inputs. some decks dont have them. if it is set up with aux input rca's, then you just connect those to the mp3 player, then you should be able to play it in the aux mode on the deck. if you cant find it by hitting the source button, then you may not have it. I know on my sony stereo, I actually had to turn the deck off with the ignition switch on. then I press the menu button, and there I can toggle the aux mode on or off. if that doesnt work either, then you either dont have aux inputs, or the inputs are bad on the stereo, meaning its not gonna work at all.

HI Turn the stereo OFF and then press and hold Funtion button until you see the menu use the arrows to go to the next you´ll find the aux mode there Must be OFF just turn it ON.

I'm having the same problem. I pressed the "function" button about 50 times and AUX never showed up.

I have the same problem with an XM radio

According to the manual, you need to "enable" the AUX 1 or 2 thru the initial settings menu.

Press and hold the SRC until the unit turns off. Then press and hold the MULTI CONTROL (knob) until the Language appears. Turn the knob to cycle thru the options, select AUX 1 or 2 and press the knob again to select ON.

After selecting them to on, power the unit on and press the SRC to cycle thru the sources to find AUX 1 or 2.

The owners manual is here if you need it;

Best of Luck.

Try putting the unit in standby via the "SRC" button FIRST..., then press the menu button and cycle through to the "AUX 1" option and activate this....then press menu button again. When the unit is next switched on, you should have an "AUX" option accessible via the "SRC" button which will cycle through all of the availale modes ....standby-tuner-cd-aux etc etc.

press source button repeatedly to select "CD" or "MD" be aware that in order to connecting Ipod to a car stereo you will need to use an extension cable with 3.5 mm stereo connectors on each end to connect iPod to your car stereo system's aux input, or use a cassette adapter if your car stereo doesn't have a sound input jack. Either of these items can be purchased at stores that sell car stereo accessories. good luck!
