G'day all, from a newcomer to the forum. I'm no expert and I've got a little
tech query someone might be able to help me with please.

I'd like to set up an Aux input on a VDO car stereo, the VDO Daytona CD
2703.
I see the unit does have suitable AUX IN pins in one of the back panel
connector blocks, but they need to be enabled using the unit's set-up menu.
The trouble is, the CD 2703 model is one of a family of four near-identical
models, the 2703, 2803, 2203 and 2253..... they each have very slightly
different options, and the 2703 is the only one which doesn't have the Aux
In option listed in its specs-sheet.

The thing is, though, it has got the actual pins on the rear panel but the
function doesn't show up when you step through the set-up menu. I wonder if anyone knows a way to work around this and enable that Aux In connector to be selected? I bet somebody has sussed out a way to beat the system!

Many thanks if anyone has any suggestions,
Graham H, NZ

Hello friend, I have the same problem as you, with my cd VDO_DAYTON 2703.
You got to fix it?
if you have news about the solution, I would appreciate the comentary.
I'm a technical specialist in electronics, and if the solution is to change the motherboard unit, it is no problem for me.
Thanks, a greeting from Spain.

No sir, very sorry, but I could not find a solution so we still do not have the AUX input working. I would be pleased to hear from you if you can find a solution!
Regards from New Zealand.

OK.
If I find the solution, I have no problem sharing it with you, for that I have to find the electronic diagram of VDO, to manipulate the motherboard.
Greetings.

Ah yes, to find the circuit diagram, that is very difficult!
