CDR-220 : AUX for iPhone

[Porsche9]

I picked up on this old thread with the plug in the back of the Becker CDR 220 that you then use the 3.5 m jack to plug into my iPod/iPhone. Easy enough and cheap but when I hit the S (Source) button to switch to AUX the choices I have are FM1, CD, and Magazine. No AUX. I figure okay let's try Magazine which was for the old CD player. What is odd is that Magazine does not hold and it reverts back to FM1 or CD depending what the unit is currently on. Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone have any insight? Thanks in advance.

I did not ground it, although it is suggested that you disconnect the battery.. I didn't do it and it worked just fine.
All you need to do is plug it in at the back, and feed the connector to the front.
Also, you will need to 'activate' AUX on your radio by pressing the TP button for a few seconds and selecting AUX to ON from the menu.

Shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

Thanks

Did you activate the AUX option?
