It all depends on what the manual/box says.

Looking at the age of the unit, it's either a RCA line out for an amp, or an audio in for a cd changer.

It's probably a line out for an amp.

it might be, but 99% of the time, you'll find line outputs before you find aux inputs.

go to pioneer's support page and search the model number. you should be able to download a tech sheet or users manual, which will tell you exactly what that is.

Default hi

just check online ang your right..its a subwoofer line out anyway, i don't know f i could use it..so might leave it thr..thanks for you help..

By the way, do i need a code for this after installing? i just took this out because im painting my consol panel..and when i took this out, I did not use
any key to get it out. I just unscrew the screw on both side and thats it. But reading most of the threads here needs a key. is mine already tampered before?

That key is only for the stock headunit. Nothing to reset on the aftermarket unit.

You can get an adapter for the blue connection so you can use an iPod.

It's an iPod adaptor but to be honest, for what you will pay for it you could buy a decent head unit with CD/Radio/USB and AUX for your iPod all on the front. I recently fitted a JVC unit with all that for €60.00.
