Acura's MDX SUV has a standard input jack that can be used to connect an Apple iPod or another type of MP3 player. Using this connection allows you to listen to the iPod through you MDX's stereo speakers. Control of the device remains with the iPod; you'll still switch tracks and fast forward using the iPod's control buttons. Playing your iPod in the MDX is simple and only takes a few minutes.
Press the "Open" button on the front edge of your center console to open the compartment lid. Inspect the interior of the compartment. Inside you'll find a small hole.
Insert the 3.5mm audio cable into the console hole. Ensure that it's fully connected.
Insert the opposite end of the 3.5mm audio cable into the audio port on your iPod. This is the jack the headphones normally plug into.
Turn your Acura MDX on. You can crank the engine or you can simply turn the key to "Acc" or "On." The radio must be on for the iPod to work.
Push "Disc/Aux." This switches the input from the radio to the auxiliary input that your iPod is connected to. You'll now be able to listen to the iPod in your MDX.
