Radio Operation

I have a 2006 Caravan with a type "REV" radio. It has sat mode, am, fm,
cd/dvd capability. It also has RCA jacks on the front for L-R audio and
video. I want to connect my ipod to the front but can't figure out how
to get into the "AUX" mode. Is there an AUX mode on this radio?

 

Hi dprkk...

Not a mechanic, just an old retired electrical guy. Worse, don't have
a caravan, never less a 2006. I do have a thought worth mentioning,
though

Often (at least in the olden days), the jack itself served dual
purposes, being both the input and a switch - in this case being
the switch to change you over to auxiliary input. I suggest just
plugging in your iPod, turning on the radio, and seeing if that's not
all that's required.

Take care.

the owners manual spells it out and will give you gobs more info about
options u don't even know u have

 

That's the problem, the owner's manual justs says there are 3 RCA jacks
on the front. No mention on how to get to the "AUX" mode though. The
"mode" button on the front just cycles me through satellite, am and fm.
CD/DVD gets activated when a disc is put in. Still looking for a
solution.

 

Finally figured it out. The ipod has to be on and playing before the
radio will recognize it and go into "AUX" mode. Thanks for all the
suggestions.

 

Not a Chrysler radio, but the aftermarket radio I put in my car won't
cycle through the optional attachments unless something is detected.
I don't know if it detects a signal or if it just detects a load on the
input jack, but if the jack is empty, the mode change skips it.
