What is BUS input on my sony headunit?
Hello there...
quick question for the informed. I want to connect an iPOd to my soney head unit so I pulled it out to take a look at the inputs. All it had was a left and right channel BUS inputs and a round hole labled BUS control (i think). Is it possible to run just the cable form the ipod, split into 2 rca jacks, and plug directly into the l-r BUS inputs? i guess i need to know what a bus is, hehe. TIA |

That's the audio input for a Sony CD or Minidisk changer.
On newer Sony head units this can also be used as an auxillary input. If an "AUX" selection comes up when you push the "source" button, then you should be able to plug the iPod right into the input. If not, there might be an adapter available to convert the BUS input to auxillary. Check with Sony. "ds" wrote in message m... Hello there... quick question for the informed.

More than likely, it's the audio part of the unilink input, and you'll
need an adapter like the XA300 to trick the radio into thinking that what you're connecting is a CD changer. Here's additional info on the XA300 - http://www.crutchfield.com/S-riA3s56...nfo&i=158XA300. If you list the model # of your radio, I should be able to find out if you need the adapter or not.
