IPOD CONNECTION or AUX
Stick this item number in the eBay search bar. 171343462685
I bought one of those but it depends on what head unit you have, mine says update list on the bottom right of the front panel, if yours is the same, this will work. If it says something else (can't remember what the other type's called) then you need something different.
Fetch the head unit out with 4 mini screwdrivers stuck in the holes and this cable plugs into the cd changer slot. I then thread mine down below the cup holders and up through the light hole in the ashtray, then just leave my phone plugged in and in the cup holders.
You also need to active the aux mode which I think is default off, it was off on mine anyhow. You can do this by going into the advanced settings on the head unit, think you hold down the menu button or something.
Hope that helps.

A perfect answer,that's the best way with a standard head unit.
Nice clear question and answer! Perfect for us lurkers! Ordered one (as there's only so long I can put up with CDs rattling in the door card) :up:
Just bought one of these leads from ebay, so hopefully should work on any Trophy? or clio with a CD changer as plugs into CD changer port? 
Yeah if it's not an update list headunit (ie if it doesn't say update list somewhere on the facia) then you will need a different lead apparently.
There's an old thread on here about it all

Thanks Carbon Chaos. Does anyone have a picture of the where it connects to? wires are short so not much room to see whats what, anf the 3 pind connector is somewhat loose in the slot that was empty in the black block so would just fall out when I put stereo back in :-(
I'll see if I can get a picture of mine tomorrow morning.
picture from internet,i think its correct?
Ah thankyou. I was trying to connect in the one directly below it, there appears to be a connector already in that socket, does this mean ill lose radio station selected on the display screen?
Does your car have a cd multi changer fitted? i think they will clip together and fit in that socket ? don't quote me on that is been a while or may be its one or the other you can have not both.
No multichanger fitted, my 172 had one under passenger seat, not checked wiring on 172.
Sorry, forgot to look.
Here's how's mines wired.

Thanks mate. does the display and stereo still work normally? Will try to find time over weekend to get mine sorted .
.
Yep. Everything works as normal. Obvs the stick controls don't work on changing track of iPod etc but volume still works and everything works normal when not in aux mode (which you may need to 'activate' in the menu for it to show up as an input option)
Ok cool, any ideas what the green wires in yellow connector are for? Need to get this done & stereo pushed back in lol.
All fitted, how do you activate the aux mode?
Hold down the button marked 'expert', scroll through with arrow buttons to 'aux', turn it on with volume buttons then exit by holding down expert again. Aux can be selected with SRC button or scroll wheel
