you said CAN , i bet you meant CAN'T or CAN NOT. right?
the AUX port is just a line input, analog audio input,
it dont know MP3 .
it only amplies the analog audio found there.
you connect any device, to AUX. push play on the device.
then put car radio in to AUX input mode and play. the audio.
that is all there is to it.
the external device does all the heavy lifting, reading a file, and decoding it (mp3 decode) and then sends raw analog audio out.
the cable is sold and radioshack, or walfart or many other stores,
Target, most MP3 players, come with this cable,
they use mini phone plugs, stereo, type,. (3 contacts)
I purchaced a CONNEXIA 3.5 stereo plug with 2RCA plugs from JB HIFI product No. X05139 for #9.95. Plug in to RCA sockets in glove box then find AUX[ hold disc button for more than 2 sec]. Works great , perfect sound.
the two componets r not compatible the stereo cannot read the type of program in ur ipod...i have the same prob with my home stereo an my ipod...u maybe able to have the stereo relearned by haveing the dealership install a new flash update into the stereo..if not i recommend replacement with a aftermarket stereo..
yes, i use mine all of the time... the jack is located in your glovebox. all you need is a cable that has two male ends that you plug into the headphone jack of your ipod and the other end in your aux jack in the glovebox (normally on the top i believe).
If there is no auxiliary port on the front of the stereo, then you will have to try and find an iPod interface cable that you can wire into the factory stereo. You can use the FM modulator type of iPod adapters, but the sound isn't as good as when it is hard wired. You can look for the iPod interface kits online at a lot of car audio stores.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
go local electronic store like bestbuy or frys electronic they have an adaptor for most of car that have stock stereo w/no ipod input,i hope this will help,have a wonderfull holiday.
There are 2 possibilities here:
Most Odysseys I've seen, have a small compartment on the left side of the third row that opens up to show a set of inputs (Audio and Video) as well as 3 headphone jacks with volume control.
WHat I did for mine was I purchased an extra long RCA audio cable on one side and a Stereo mini-plug on the other. I connected it back there where mentioned. Then I routed the cable under the rear door plastic plate and under the driver's seat, where it reappears under the center table.
Whenever I want to connect my iPod Touch, I just grab the plug, connect my iPod then raise the volume of the iPod all the way to the max, put the radio in XM/AUX and play away.
2) The second way to do this is a bit more complex, and will be the needed way if you do not have the A/V connectors in the back:
You will need to pull out the radio and the auxiliary connections should be in the back of the radio, or connected to the main radio plug.
I would recommend taking the van to an audio shop to do this installation.
I'am an M.B. tech- I do not beleive that this radio is mp3 compatable- iknow that the input you are refering to is used for ipod use. It very well could be that the head unit has to be programed(basically informed0 for an mp3- i would call the service dept. and ask to talk to ther best audio tech savay mechanic. Most likley the service writer wouldn.t know or give you false information because they do not stay on top of all the little tecnical changes. This fiber optic system has many programing features- most have to be done with as sds laptop(dealer software only) good luck
