Sat navs are powered by the cig lighter and yours should have power going to it if it's a k12, have you tried running it yet?

wots the aux input for ?

The aux is for mp3 players, you'll need a twin male 3.5mm headphone type lead (can't for the life of me remember what they're called) one end plugs into the aux port the other into the headphone jack of whatever you're using as a mp3 player, you may also have a usb port aswell but that's self explanatory.

I'd recommend borrowing a friends satnav to check your 12v plug works but I dont see why it wont

I have a twin usb socket in my 12v socket. It fits flush with the surround and is just the ticket for sat nav and phone charging
