so when i plug my ipod into the audio video thing and turn it onto the aux setting it makes a loud humming noise but still plays the song.

i was thinking that its making the noise cause i took the cable from my g/f stereo and its not made for a car

 

maybe

 

if its long and thin it could be picking up RF interference. unsheilded cables dont work great for audio.

 

Are plugging into the headphone jack on the iPod?

And I get the background noise as well. I think it's something with the iPod's themselves that's responsible. I get the same static on my Bose iPod dock when the iPod's docked, whether it's playing (i.e. on) or not (off). It's especially noticeable (irritating) at low volumes.

 

what kinda cable is it? If the cable is complete crap that could be an issue (like stated above). Are the connections solid? Everything pushed in all the way and such...

 

I get the same sound!! Its anoying.. I bought the cable from apple, that plugs into the bottom of my iphone to the AUX plug in

 

I don't have any problems. Check the volume setting on the iPod itself. It has to be about 3/4 volume. If it's to loud you get noise and if it's to quiet you get humming or static sound.

 

ive tried everything, lowering vol, messing with the EQ and nothing!

 

I've also tried playing around with different settings, and the headphone vs. the data port without any luck. It's disappointing someones getting the same interference with the iPhone as well. Anyone tried calling/emailing Apple?

 

So weird... Sorry guys my phone works good so maybe it's the cords or something idk what to tell you. Good luck hope you guys can get it figured out.

 

i talked to the people at best buy about it and they said maybe the factory didnt use a good enough ground.

so im gonna have them look at it when i go in for my next oil change
