Clarion DXZ535 and Aux Input

jonio298 · 04-29-2008, 07:57 PM

I just bought a used Clarion DXZ535 Faceplate on ebay and it hasn't arrived yet. I looked up the specs before I bought it because I was looking for a faceplate that came with auxiliary input.

On many sites it said it has 2 channel auxiliary input. I looked at pictures and I didn't see one. One of the sites said it has auxiliary input in the rear. Does this mean I need the actual head unit for the auxiliary input and the faceplate it's self doesn't have it?

Moved to Car Audio.

If I understand your post, you bought just the faceplate from a headunit? Do you have the actual headunit?
Are you aware that the faceplate without the headunit is completely useless?

According to the specs I found, that Clarion headunit has the aux input on the rear. Granted, you're going to need the entire headunit and not just the faceplate.

PLEASE tell us that you didn't purchase a faceplate believing it will give you audio functionality in your ride. PLEASE!!!!

Nope, I already have a head unit. But I am an idiot. I didn't realize all faceplates were NOT interchangeable. :\

I have a JVC Head unit lol... What are the chances this clarion faceplate will work?

well, it came today. No fit. Lol... Ohps. Is there any chance I can buy just the head unit from somewhere?

Well, it arrived today. No fit... Haha.. Oh well, 15 dollars down the drain. Unless there is a way I can buy just the head unit.

Not likely. Unless you can find the poor bastard who had his faceplate stolen from the guy you bought the faceplate from. Because i would guess that the majority of the faceplates for headunits sold on ebay are stolen. I have even joked around with my customers who get their faceplate stolen by telling them they might be able to buy back their original faceplate online.
