Even at level 1 their is noise. The issue deals with the fact that most aux inputs in cars do not have enough power supplied to power the signal. My current Samsung Galaxy S4 has lower RMS current, and due to the limited power of the aux input it picks it up as static. I added an amplifier in between the phone and aux input in the car, and the problem goes away. A lot of people have this issue. I had the same problem when I used my iPhone. This issue was not a problem in my previous car (a Camry with JBL sound system which had a lot more power then the Logic 7 audio system I have now).

My solution was to use a micro sd card with a card reader for my music, that way it displays in my nav screen, and you get dolby digital versus 2.1 from 3.5mm audio cable.
