iPOD AUX

[fhp911]

I have an '11 Boxster S with the PCM, so it has Ipod, USB and AUX connections.

I successfully can use the USB port (with the Apple-provided docking <==> USB cable) to charge my iPhone 4 but that port does NOT give me any audio out. (i can get audio out via the AUX, using the iPhone headphone output but then I don't get any charging.)

QUESTION: How can I use the USB port in the car to provide both charging and audio output? (plus I seem to remember that months ago when I would hook up to the USB port, I would get a message on the phone (but maybe it was on the PCM screen) to the effect of 'do you want to get power only, or power plus audio?' but I don't get that message any more.)

TIA,

Fred

Try pressing the TP button for a few seconds and selecting AUX to ON from the menu.

Is this the adapter I need to connect to a CDR 220 head unit? FWIW, I do not have a CD changer and have no interest in adding one.
