stevedunners Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Hi all. I have a 2008 focus titanium and when I try to put my iPhone through the aux socket I get a terrible sound quality. I've change the socket itself but still the same poor sound. Has anyone any ideas on what to do next or alternative input options. Cheers.

karlos1987 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Have you tried a different lead? Do they do different quality leads? I've personally never had a problem with my aux. Sent from my C5303 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevedunners Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 I've tried different leads but the same result. Wondering if it's a wiring problem between the aux and head unit. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 You say you've changed the socket? Is it clipped in tightly? Usually poor sound is due to the headspacing between the contacts inside the aux socket and the faceplate changing which causes the contacts to go out of alignment with the contacts on the 3.5 jack.

stevedunners Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'll check it tomorrow. The sound is crackly and distorted if that helps. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevedunners Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 I've taken the aux apart and tried to get it working no joy - I think the next step will be to take the HU out. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgaking Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Are you turning the volume up too high on the iPhone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevedunners Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Tried turning the volume down on the phone and it's not that. I'll defo be having to look at the HU. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
