Does my Pioneer Head Unit have an AUX input?

I want to hook up my portable Mp3 player to my car stereo via headphone jack to 2 RCA's.
The Head is a Pioneer DEH-P720.
I don't see any input on the back. But, when I press "Source" it goes from Tuner to CD to AUX. I don't have a CD changer. And the only RCA's that aren't hooked up in the back are labeled "Rear Output".
I took several pictures on the back of the Head. They are on my webpage, Page 7.

Do I have an AUX input?

I think you have to buy the "aux input" device. Look it up at the Pioneer website.

Yep, that's my unit.:blah:

I was looking on Pioneer's site - I can't find exactly what I need to buy. Can you give me some direction in that matter?


EDIT: does it plug into the blue port on the back?

the port on the back is the IP bus connector used for dedicated changers, and satellite radio tuners. you can try a IP bus connector with RCA connections ive seen them at best buy for 20 bucks.

I seem to remember having 2 sets of rca outs and then an aux imput that were rca's. Look on the back of you deck because I think you might just be able to plug them in.

It's all taken care of.
Unfortunatly, Best Buy and Circuit City didn't have it. I had to go back to The Specialist, which I despise. It was $35. Just plugs into the IP Bus and converts into 2 RCA's.
