Ok so i finally got to puting my Zune player in the car and when i was turning the radio to the AUX input i hear a lot of staticy noise. It is really anoying and completely destroys the sound out my zune... i cant listen to it beacuse of it. Has anyone had this problem yet? IT does it weither the player is pluged in or not so i have know idea!!!

 

In my experience, that only happened when I didn't have the cord in the iPod solidly. Or when nothing was connected. So maybe wiggle it and make sure it has a good connection?

 

Try a better quality cable?

 

mine does it too.. well when its plugged in all the way its faint only noticable if the sound is down below "10" and when its not plugged in its kinda loud.. its only fairly quiet when i use the radio or a cd.. which is pretty much never

 

Humm well i will try a better cable.. and after tat i dont know..... maybe scratch the whole stock stereo and get something else.

 

It does it with my iPod too, but if you turn down the volume on the mp3 player, then it's not as noticeable. It's still there, and really annoying because I get bothered by things like that.

 

Actually the volume on the zune really doesnt make a difference in it.... i tried that... maybe a noise filter for the aux input perhaps?

 

I can hear static and/or alternator whine by just choosing the AUX mode on the MMCS. With no cable plugged in. I think I'll have to take it in to the dealer to get it fixed.

I was just wondering if this is the same thing you guys are experiencing?

 

Um, dude?

Of course you hear static when nothing is plugged in! That's normal. It's because you've set your radio to be using the AUX channel, but you have nothing attached to that channel.

Your car is 100% fine. Don't bother with the dealership. This thread is about people that DO have something plugged in with the cable and get static with their music.

 

if you look at your instruction manual it will say that you'll get noise with nothing plugged in.

 

I am getting noise with the cable pluged in, hooked up, and music playing. It also whines when the rpms go up and down.

 

That sounds like a problem. Especially the RPM part. Maybe you have a wire that's shorting our or something?

 

I am not sure but i am sure its not normal so i guess i will have to make a trip to the dealership to see... this sucks!!!
