first time I tried an iPOD thru the AUX on my 7 it sounded horrible, but I knew someone with the same setup and it sounded fine

I played around with the volume out level on the POD and the AUX input level on the head unit (one of the settings in the radio) and was able to balance things out. I think I was getting distortion from the POD cuz it was trying to run at max output. Boosting the level of the AUX in the radio allowed me to drop the iPOD level and things became fine.

Could be same thing and perhaps the default level of the ANDR' differs from an iPhone . . .

Hi,


What other AUX cables did you try? I had the same problem when I used a 4 pole cable, but a 3 pole worked fine.


AFAIK, Apple's AUX (the 3.5mm male-to-male version) has 4 poles and their wiring does not conform to the industry standard.


Here's an article that should give you some insight into the matter:
