    Cool 2004 Nissan Sentra Aux In Problem

    I recently purchased a used 2004 Nissan Sentra 1.8S. It has the stock single CD unit with FM radio. It features an aux in jack on the front of the unit, a 3.5mm input jack for use with mp3 players, etc.

    My problem is, it doesn't seem to work. The manual for this car is no help, it only says "to listen to an aux audio device, plug it in and press the CD-C button." Well, I do that. "AUX" shows on the display, but I hear nothing. My mp3 player volume is cranked and I cranked the volume on the stereo. Nothing but silence. Is there something that needs to be "configured" on this radio, or did I get stuck with a faulty input jack?

    Just wondering what my options are. Is there a simple fix or do I need a new radio?

    HELP is appreciated.

    I ditched the radio a long time ago and I don't think I ever used the aux in. There's no button that says Aux?

    No, there isn't, but there's a "CD-C" button. According to the manual, this is the button that puts the radio into AUX mode. And it does, "AUX" shows on the display, but I hear nothing when my mp3 player is connected to the aux-in jack.

    Nope.

    I realize the CD-C button most likely stands for "cd changer," but I'm just going by what the User's Manual says. It says to use the input jack on the front of the unit, press the CD-C button to go into AUX mode.

    What if you press CD-C more than once? Maybe it cycles through all the Aux?

    Yep, tried that. It doesn't have any effect, dosn't cycle through other Aux modes.

    I will post a closeup pic of my radio in a few mins...

    And I'm guessing your MP3 player works with headphones?

    Yep, it works fine. I've also tried plugging in a walkman to it, which also works. Same results. Dead air, no sound.
