Radio not recognising AUX

Post by Lexx289 » Mon Jul 06, 2020 1:19 pm

Hoping there is still some life in here :-)

Before i go any further, i promise, i have read the whole thread from back to front, upside down, and round about. I have connected the aux cable in the right slot in the back, i have soldered in a 300k ohm resister between L and R, and used capacitors too (2x on each in parallel as i origionally bought + - ones so swapped them out). But i am getting no where. I have run a multimeter across the L R to make sure i am getting resistance, and i am, of 300k ohms.

Basically, i plug it in, get FM / AM and CD but no AUX anywhere, ideas?

2004 BMW 3.0i SE with Business headunit.
Images attached.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it’s any consolation I’m having the same problem.

Not sure how old this is, but thanks for sharing this worked perfectly for me!
