Hello,

 

After a bit of to-ing & fro-ing with the dealer (long story) I now finally have possession of my replacement Octavia & am back on the Devil's own fuel (Derv) as my mileage has increased.

 

All lovely & enjoying the FL experience except that for some reason I cannot get any sound via the Jumbo box aux in connection to the Bolero head unit.

 

I've tried 2 different sound sources - iPhone & Samsung as well as 2 different patch leads - both new & both working on other equipment.

 

I've also tried every attenuation setting in the Bolero's menu but to no avail.

 

Am I just being daft or is there a known problem, perhaps a loose connection at one end of the wiring from armrest to radio..?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

David.

Is the AUX tab at the top of the screen accessible or is it shaded out?

If it's shaded the option needs to be activated using VCDS.

The socket can become disconnected. If you remove the ashtray on the back you may be able to see/feel if its still connected.

In the Bolero set up menu 'enable aux in' needs to be selected bizarrely.

Thanks for the replies - sorry, I should've mentioned that 'Aux in' is indeed enabled. I think I'm going to have to root around behind the ashtray (it's an extra lidded cubbyhole on my non-smoker version) for the loose end of the cable.

Thanks again all

Pop the square socket in the jumbo box itself out, or take off the heating vents for the rear passengers to have a look at that connection. My money would be on the lead having fallen out of the socket at the input end rather than the headunit end, especially as it's saying it's enabled: the headunit thinks SOMETHING is plugged into it at the business end!

Just bear in mind the metal under the jumbo box is made of recycled razor blades.
