Hello all.....Question to those that have installed that AUX cable in there mini's. I just got my cable and installed it last night.I then hooked up my Sirius XACT Visor to it and the audio volume quaility is lower than that of a CD or the FM modulator. I really have to turn up the volume and adjust the bass to get something decent. Could it be my Sirius unit just doesn't pump out enough juice? I was really expecting better performance with the AUX input.

Thanks

 

Try going into the menu of the visor. I have several sirius units although not the visor and they all have a output level control. You can turn it up there. There may also be a level adjustment in the radio. Play with it. I have the sportster replay and to sounded great and after yesterdays update it sounds even better. It is at the same level as fm and cd.

But let me tell you that you probably wont be listening to much FM or CD. Enjoy it.

 

You've got the volume maxed on the Sirius unit, right?

 

Thanks ninja!! I will do that first chance I get. I did notice that a lot of the stations sound better after yesterday's update. I'll post a reply here to let everyone know if this unit has that feature.
Thanks Again!!!!

 

Chrisnl I haven't checked the unit yet to see if it has that option.
I am really hoping it does..(crossing fingers). Maybe during my lunch break
I can go check...thanks for the reply.

 

Not sure about your setup, but my '05 with HK, I can set the AUX audio level from -5 to +5. This feature is seperate from the normal volume adjustment. I set mine to +3 then use the normal volume adjustment for daily use.

 

That was my thought as well. Once the AUX cable is installed a new menu option appears on the radio which lets you adjust the AUX input volume level to try and match it to the radio and CD volumes. I would start there, setting it to 4 or 5 and then adjust the Sirius output volume if necessary.

 

Danielg & Petecrosby you guys are totally right...I just walked down to my parking garage and set the AUX audio volume to 4 and adjusted the Bass and tremble....all I need to do now is get that ground loop isolator(cause the AUX shuts off).....thanks to all for all your help. I just love this community because here you can ask a question and get a good answer.:smile:
