How to Use an AUX Car Audio Cable?

[Ezekiel]

AUX cables have identical ends and are interchangeable. Either end can be plugged into the car's AUX port, while the other end connects to the audio device. You can use an AUX audio cable to connect to your phone's headphone jack and then play music through your phone.

I often use an AUX cable to listen to music while driving, especially on long trips. Look for that round jack in your car, usually located near the center console or armrest, then connect your phone to the car using a cable with metal connectors on both ends. Switch your car stereo to AUX mode, and you can directly play music from your phone. Remember to set your phone volume to about 70% first, then use the steering wheel controls for more convenient volume adjustment. This method is much more stable than Bluetooth—no sudden disconnections. If you hear static from the cable, the connector might be dirty; just clean it with a cotton swab. By the way, if your older car doesn't have an AUX port, you can solve it by getting a cigarette lighter adapter.
