You press the "src" button,and it will go from tuner,to cd,to a external source,the external source is your Ipod

well i push that button and it goes to cd to tuner and thats all, but it also has a thing for a cell phone i tried that and it says no phone hooked up. i guess my head unit doesnt have an aux thing even tho it has 6 rca hook ups in the back.

well i tried my old head unit and it worked except the radio play with it but no aux

Read your manual. You have to set the aux up. From the factory it's not activated, I believe. I have an Ipod hooked up to my alpine headunit and I remember having the same problem.
