How to Use the Car AUX?
2 Answers
Locate the AUX port in the car and insert one end of the AUX cable into the car's AUX port; insert the other end of the AUX cable into the headphone jack of an external audio device, such as a mobile phone or MP3 player; set the car's audio input mode to AUX audio input; start playing music on the external audio device, such as a mobile phone, to transmit the audio from the device to the car's sound system. Below is an introduction to AUX: 1. Introduction to AUX: AUX is the abbreviation for "Auxiliary," which is an additional signal line designed as a single wire. In general audio equipment, besides the standard output and input terminals, there are often several terminals labeled "Aux" as backup connection points. 2. Function of AUX: Simply put, the car can connect to external music devices through the AUX interface and then output the music from these devices through the car's sound system.
When I first encountered the car's Aux port, I was a bit confused, but later found it super simple. The Aux port is usually located near the car's center console—look for a small hole labeled 'Aux' or something similar, resembling a headphone jack. You'll need an Aux cable, which costs just a few bucks on Taobao or in stores, with 3.5mm plugs on both ends. Plug one end into your phone or other music device and the other into the car. Once connected, turn on the car's audio system—there's usually a button or menu option to switch the audio source. Select Aux mode. Then, play music or podcasts on your device, and the sound will come through the car's speakers. If there's no sound, don't panic—first check if your phone's volume is turned up, ensure the cable is firmly plugged in, and try restarting the device or the car's power. This method is more stable than Bluetooth or USB, with clearer sound quality, and you can even use a power bank if your device runs out of battery. It's convenient for daily use—just set it up before driving, and you won’t need to fiddle with it on the road.
