Pioneer Headunit AUX Input Help

For anyone who has a Pioneer headunit and wants to hook up something to the auxillary input they read about when buying the headunit, there is a cheap way!

I checked out the official Pioneer connectors and found that they're actually just tapping into the correct pins on the "P-Bus" connector.

Cheaper Alternative

Do it yourself! You can either make up some kind of connector, or just hook into the pins you need. The following is a partial pinout for the connector:

I also managed to get hold of the schematic for the Pioneer CD-RB20 gizmo (1mb):

I put this connection together today, but my head-unit doesn't recognise my iPod. The Source button just cycles through CD and radio.

I have connected four wires (as pictured above) to a left/right RCA cable and I've plugged my iPod into the RCA cable via the headphone output. What am I doing wrong?

turn your head unit off. when its off hold down the function button for 5 seconds. a menu will come up where you can enable AUX which is the IPbus connector. You can also rename it like when you name a CD by holding down audio i think when it is selected and you can call it iPod instead of AUX

I was looking at the Pioneer AUX Input option but then i thought to myself, i could do this myself. Screw buying one of the RB20 thingo's when I already have one in my engine bay.

I have a basic Pioneer DEH-P2050, it has the IP-BUS thingo but no Aux Inputs but I remembered reading i could switch to AUX etc. which had my puzzled when I installed the stereo.

When i bought my iPod I was going to get myself an iTunes unit but read they are pretty shitty, even on their own website they dont say its that crash hot. Then I my manual said something about AUX input so I had a quick look at the stereo again, I then pulled it apart to find on the MotherBoard of the deck it has the AUX input solder points. I simply soldered some wires and some RCA cables onto this and booyah, I had myself some AUX inputs :)

After doing it I found on caraudioaustralia some guy found the same thing and he has also taken a photo of it to show where it is.

Very helpful and it saved me $180 for the official Pioneer device.

MARCUS,

do you have any schematics or manuals to suit cd tuner deh-236 (pioneer).

If not do you know where I can get one from.

many thanks

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
