How to Play Music via Car AUX?

[LaBriella]

AUX interface is the relationship between audio output and input, similar to home audio systems. However, home audio systems have direct audio plugs that can be plugged into computers or MP3 players for use. For car interfaces, an audio recording cable is required for connection. Below are the functions of car AUX: 1. Introduction: The AUX interface is an additional signal circuit design, also known as group output or auxiliary send. Using an AUX connection cable, it can connect to mobile phones or car MP3 players to play sound through the car audio system. One end plugs into the headphone jack of the phone, and the other end plugs into the AUX port of the car. It is also a type of car transmission cable, featuring fast transmission speed, ease of use, support for hot-swapping, flexible connection, and independent power supply. 2. High Fidelity and Quality: The AUX interface is highly functional, transmitting high-fidelity data, offering better and more convenient performance than connecting a mobile phone via Bluetooth to a car player. It is simple and quick to use with direct plug-and-play functionality.

When using AUX to play music in the car, the first step is to prepare an audio cable with 3.5mm plugs on both ends. Connect one end to the headphone jack of your phone and the other end to the AUX IN port in the car, usually located near the dashboard or center console. After plugging it in, open your music app, such as NetEase Cloud Music or QQ Music, select your favorite playlist, and then switch to AUX mode on the car's audio panel—the sound will start playing. It's best to adjust the volume using the car's knob rather than the phone to avoid sudden loud noises that could affect driving comfort. I prefer setting up the playlist before driving and avoiding phone use while driving to prevent distractions. If the cable is too long, it may get tangled, so a shorter one is easier to manage. Sometimes, the sound quality may degrade due to loose connections or oxidized plugs—cleaning or replacing the cable can help. Listening to music while driving can be relaxing, but choose steady rhythms to avoid drowsiness.

To connect AUX for playing songs, first check the location of the AUX port in your car. Most vehicles have it marked in the center console or armrest box. Use a standard audio cable to connect your phone to the car's port by plugging both ends. Start the player on your phone and select a song, then switch the car audio to AUX source. If you encounter no sound, check if the plugs are fully inserted or if the port is dirty—cleaning it can restore the connection. Avoid adjusting playlists while driving; use Bluetooth controls or preset the order for safe driving. Volume balance is key: keep phone volume at medium and increase car volume to reduce noise interference. Note device compatibility—older phones or MP3 players work, but newer car models may integrate AUX into multimedia systems requiring extra steps to switch. Maintain cables by avoiding bends to extend their lifespan and save money. Play some classic tunes to enhance driving pleasure, but don’t get too distracted by the music.

The AUX function is simple and easy to use—just plug in the cable to connect your car and phone. After getting in the car, play music and select your tracks, then switch the audio to AUX mode. Avoid touching your phone and stay focused on the road. Safety first—play soothing songs like light music or radio dramas to reduce fatigue and drive safely. Ensure a stable connection by checking that the jack is clean, and keep cables away from children.
