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.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
