Aux input...

07E92TT · 03-17-2010, 09:56 AM

Whenever I plug in my iPod to the aux input there's just a buzzing sound. The iPod doesn't even have to be plugged in and it still makes it and it won't play music at all. Any ideas?? Thanks

Any kind of buzzing points to a grounding problem with your source. Wait until it buzzes again any try touching a metal part of the device with one hand then an unpainted metal part of the car with the other. See if the buzz goes away.

I get a buzzing sound when nothing is connected to my aux cable. But once I plug a device in it goes away. It's strange. But +1 on the grounding issue. You say you can't play music at all? Maybe it's your cable? Or your iPod? Have you tried to use a different cable or device?
