Hi,
I have recently bought a Fabia III Monte Carlo and am experiencing issues with the stereo system.
I've used my iPod quite happily for the last three years in the Swing stereo in my Mk2 Fabia using the lead provided. However, when I connected my iPod to the Bolero in my Mk3, there are playback issues. There are short 'breaks' in the playback from my iPod to the point where it's almost impossible to listen to.
The breaks in sound don't seem to follow a regular pattern, whether the car is moving or stationery, whether the stereo is loud or quiet. I've also tried 'jiggling' the USB cable where it's plugged in to the car and the iPod but can't seem to find a consistent fault.
I have replaced the USB cable and have even swapped iPods to no avail.
Is anybody else experiencing similar issues? Is there a compatibility issue between iPods and the Bolero stereo? Not really sure what else to try unless I just whack all my songs on to an SD card?
Cheers.
