    is it bluetooth or aux input as their 2 seperate items.

    The Aux input is where Greg would have put a button on the centre console with the word AUX, you press it down, it stays down and a little light comes on in the corner. You need to plug in a 3.5 mm cable to the phone/ipod (same as a headphone plug).

    Bluetooth I'm not too sure about, it depends on the kit and how its been setup, but the phone needs to be paired to the bluetooth module (so the bluetooth box can talk to the phone). I know greg only installed a handful of bluetooth kits, some were the CK-7W (which Im familiar with) some where the newer ones.

    If its a CK-7W need to turn bluetooth on in the phone settings>general>bluetooth

    From memory then you need to get in the car, with the ignition on accessory mode (you want the bluetooth kit on which is normally paired with the ignition) press the button Greg would have installed (either a genuine holden button with the phone icon or the nokia round button) down for 4 seconds. The kit will search for the phone. When it finds it the phone it will ask for the passcode, which is 0000.

    Failing that, you can always pop back into the bluetooth menu of the phone and do a search for device, it should show up Nokia CK-7W after a quick scan.

    Once the iphone is setup assuming you leave bluetooth on the phone it will always connect. My Iphone 4 auto connects to the car every time, and Im using the older CK-7W kit.

    It was a 3.5mm jack that's hardwired to the head unit. It's been floating around under my centre console and I've just plucked it out through a gap so may have missed the button lol

    u may have got the revised version that does away with the button, if thats the case just plug in ur ipod and it should auto sense somthing is in there and start playing.

    wen u say it was floating around wasnt the AUX socket mounted?

    Greg did the HU via post. When I installed the HU didn't get around to installing the ipod interface to a panel as I didn't have an ipod at the time lol.
