Some players have a low max volume setting. I found a PC gave a good volume though. â€œThere are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 S Manual Tonga Green

Just done this and it works perfectly! The cd player was struggling to play some of SWEMBOs home made CDs so hopefuly this will be the perfect solution.

Now, i have an idea for a blackberry playbook installation... Dave Neil

Can a USB socket be done the same way to have to the radio instead of the Aux stereo plug?

USB wires are

White Data +
Green Data -
Red Volts +
Black ground -

Hi, i know this is a old post... This was however my project (for the day... shopping included).

I found everything exactly as per the clear instructions and photos. HOWEVER ... the sound is not good, i am getting a ssshhh in the background even if the ipod is not playing.. i suspect it got something to do with ground. Removing the cable the ssshhh stops..

any suggestions or similar experiences?

(my soldering is not perfect but good enouth

)

I could just buy one from maplins but it must of been done just not sure which pin is left, right or earth!!

Any guidance appreciated

Cheers Jonny

2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Buckingham Blue

Hi all

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but since the information is relevant, I thought it better than creating a new thread.

I noticed a lot of people asking if this only works on basic spec Discovery 3s but I can confirm that it also works on high spec models too. I have a 56 plate HSE with DVD navigation and the modification I've done works.

I found the info in this thread and also a vid on YouTube showing how to add another Aux connection

I took the headunit out and found the same 3 wires on the back of my headunit, granted with a few (a lot!) more wires too.

So, I had a look for a female 3.5mm Aux with a 3 wire connection and found this

Worth a go for £5 delivered.

So it came today, I cut off the ford plastic connector leaving the pins on the wiring. Then I attacked the dash again, took the headunit out again, identified the wiring and cut the wiring and into a connector block

Then the new Aux cable in the other end

Test fit, the cables were tidied up and insulated. note the colour of the wiring, this is correct for the L/R & Ground connections. I left the old cables to the other Aux connections out as I just don't need them.

Just to show that it is possible with the Nav in and working.

After the wiring was tidied up, the new Aux cable was threaded down the back of the controls and out of the bottom under the ashtray*

No I didn't break the ashtray doing this, the flap was already broken.

I've tested several times and it's worked perfectly, no interference or distortion.

I hope this helps anyone else wanting to do the same mod.
