Aux in

[MartH]

Just got a new mp3 phone and hooked it up to the aux in socket, and all working fine. Except when there is no music between tracks i get an interference type noise. Even with the phone and lead disconnected still get the noise?? Anybody else got this problem? or able to try for me? nothing connected and volume on about 10 - 12.

I have noticed a little interference from my mp3 player

Had the same with my old Leon. Just turned it up a bit during playback as could here it if volume was low.
Now have the ipod connection and get no interference.

 

[neilandbob]

get interference with mine aswell but its fine when unplugged

 

[MartH]

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like its a feature then...

 

[GAZ P]

Not noticed it in mine

Mine gets about 10 times louder when I turn the lights on - do you guys find the same too?

 

[RichieRich]

mine has interference about that volume with no music playing not just in the aux channel does it also in cd mode ie crap headunits

 

[Lifecrisis]

Where did you guys get the lead from to connect mp3/aux?

I use a 3.5 to 3.5 that winds up into a little spindle - keeps things nice and neat.

The interference is acceptable when the lights are off, but when on it makes quiet songs sound aweful.

I have a 3.5 on a spindle to, i got mine from maplin. I think it was £4 ish

 

[BanziBarn]

I use this with it http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...3-6300-6301-5300-E90-N95-8GB-N96/Product.html

So, when the phone is in the above there are no trailing cables anywhere becuase the 3.5 jack doesn;t even need to be extended out of the spindle to reach from the socket to the phone, and the charing is done from the holder. It also works great has a hands free as I don't have bluetooth - the caller is heard though the car speakers and then phone picks up my voice.

So, it's nearly perfect apart from the annoying buzzing!

any chance the buzzing is due to poor quality leads? i use my ipod thru the aux and get some noise between tracks but i know its a crap cable. might look for an insulated better quality one see if it helps.

 

[BanziBarn]

Could be yeah - I'll try a thicker one to see if that helps.

 

[RichieRich]

might be the earth cable

 

[BanziBarn]

might be the earth cable

Interesting - Sounds likely! But, what is the earth cable, and where is it?

 

[RichieRich]

me personally i would try the hu earth as mine is crap buzzing wise and then the aux connection cable but that will be harder to get to, should be the hu earth cable tho...

 

[amills2005]

Oh god i hate the interference i get in my leon
My lead is is from Maplin and plugs into the bottom of my ipod.
I get interference at most volumes and its sooooooooo annoying during quiet spots in songs as you can hear it.

Does anyone think a better quality lead will stop this?

Or is it a earth ground problem with the Leon's??

 

[RichieRich]

well it used to be earth problems in my mk4 ibiza's so i wouldt be suprised if it was the case in the leon to.. i have a decent 3.5 jack to 3.5 maplins jack to my mp3 player but it doesnt happen just on the aux setting happens on cd to so must be the earth?

I've found that using the aux in does generate a slight buzzing noise. The buzz gets worse if you dim the interior lights, which could be solved by a better earth or a filter in line with the aux lead (you used to be able to get similar things for stereos on older cars). For me I leave the dash lights at max brightness and the buzz is minimal for the most part, so I ignore it.
