407 SW Aux/Video

[sandyjam]

Recently bought a 2006 407 SW with RT3 sat nav, audio and telematics system. It's my first pug, and therefore I'm a newby to the forum.

Have found lots of useful info on here already, but nothing specific to the problem i am having (although lots of related topics).

I really want to make the most of the aux port located in the glovebox, which i believe is originally for video streaming? Seen lots of posts re enabling the aux port through PP 2000, but all of these seem to assume that the video option on the menu exists, but it isn't there on mine. I am 99% certain i have the colour 9" DT display, so think it should be there.

Don't want to shell out best part of £50 to the dealer just to find it still won't work with my ipod/phone.

I also discovered that i have a clarion cd changer fitted - could this be part of the problem?

Thanks
James

Hi
You dont need PP2000 to activate the video port
You need to update your RT3 unit to 6.63 ( if not already done )
then activate AUX in the configuration menu
Connect your iPhone and watch videos ( not possible while driving, only when stationary ) and listen to music/MP3 through your iPhone...

Does the audio work when driving?

Hi
Thanks for your reply. I have updated the software using the download from eurovans2 to 6.63 (checked the version after and it says it is 6.63, so seemed to work).
However, cannot find the enable aux option in the sound configuration menu, so still none the wiser...
Any other ideas - is the Clarion CD changer using the aux port/connection??

Hi
Go to:
Menu / Configuration / Sound / Activate AUX

The CD changer is connected to the port behind the RT3

I tried that, and the Activate AUX option is not even listed (never mind greyed out)
