Polo Vivo Bluetooth radio - AUX input

Post by will777 »

Hi guys,

I have a 2012 Polo Vivo 1.6 with the Bluetooth radio. I would love to have an AUX audio input for this radio. A fitment centre told me the radio does not have the facility but I see the AUX src listed when I select the source.

Does anyone know if this radio supports AUX-in? If so, can anyone recommend a fitment centre that can help me out (I'm in PTA).

Thanks in advance

Same as mine, you must just find the pins on the back - if it came with a harness it will be the shielded cable...

Hi guys

Thanks - its the base model so I don't know if they tried to "save money" by omitting a cheap cable and plug.

Do you guys have the same radio as in my pic?

My Aux input is in the glove box. Take a look there.

I've got the base model as well

My so's vivo's aux plug also sits in the glove box, Still have no clue how its wired. There is no visible aux input in the back of the radio, it must be wired in with the harness.

IIRC , there's no aux plug input as such on the back of the radio .

But there's a plug in harness with the 2 aux cables on that harness that slots in the back of the radio .

There's 3 plugs that slot into the radio, the 3rd smaller one is for the bluetooth facilty

Sorry , I meant. The 3rd smaller plug is the one that leads to the
Aux input in the glove box ( not bluetooth)

Its pretty much an "extension cable"

Do you perhaps have a pic of what you mean, i have the vivo radio in my sportline, i used the stock harness, straight plug and play. I dont recall that there is any other pins for other plugs apart from the main harness and the shuttle harness

G-spot, pm your email add and I'll send the pics first chance I get.

I've actually had the bluetooth radio removed and used a std mp3 which is
Also straight plug and play.

To get the aux function active on your current should be too much of an issue
Once I send a pic of that plug
