loulabelle Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hi folks. I'm a newby, so forgive me if this has been discussed elsewhere already. I have a 10 plate Focus Style. I bought it when it was a year old and the aux audio connection has never worked properly without crackling. I have tried different cables, different devices but I still get the same problem. It's far too crackly to listen to. It drives me mad and means I have to use CDs all the time. (Pah! Oudated CDs!) Has anyone else experienced this and found a fix? I hope so! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Sounds like the head unit is faulty and has a faulty aux connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 May be a dodgy cable from the aux point to the head unit. Or could be a dodgy head unit itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loulabelle Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Thank you both. This is probably a stupid question, but is that something somewhere like Halfords would be able to sort out for me?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 A hammer? ;) The Ford aux sockets are not the best. Checking the wiring may be worth a go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Halfords will just sell you a new stereo thats as far as it will go an electrician may be able to fix it but it wouldnt be cheap I wouldnt trust Halfords to put a tea bag in a cup if you dont know what youre talking about they will rip you off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loulabelle Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 I think I will just live with it and burn some CDs! Sounds like that's the safest/cheapest option! Thanks again for taking the time to reply. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
