OK, I have had many cars with AUX inputs, but the prius is the worst I plug my IPOD in and i get static and pop while playing.. What give, is there a TSB or dealer fix.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(CheapChic @ Mar 4 2007, 09:06 AM) [snapback]399866[/snapback]</div> Couple of things-- First, how's your cable? I used a really cheap one that caused some noise. I replaced it, and it sounds fine. Second, if your power cord is plugged into your iPod, too, that will cause some terrible feedback. There's a piece you can get to reduce this...search this board; I know there've been several posts about it. It is possible that your AUX input is defective, of course, but these are the two things I would try first. Of course, test your iPod's output, too. Hope this helps. I feel your frustration--my iPod is muy importante to me, too!

I had his problem until I stumbled across the solution on this board or priusonline.com. This NEEDS to be a FAQ entry somewhere.
