Hi Everyone,

 

I've just bought a 2007 L&K estate, and I can't seem to get Aux in to do anything useful 😕

 

I've gone through the manual (sort of - It's a Stream MP3 and I could only find the one for the Stream) and there's supposed be two menu options for it - I can find the 'Aux on/Aux Off' setting, but no matter what I set it to the 'Aux Volume' option isn't appearing on the screen with all the fader and balance options.

 

Am i missing something or is it likely to actually be knackered?

 

What seems odd is that there doesn't seem to be a way to actually select Aux (rather than CD or radio), even in the manual - just some settings for it.

 

Any help or sympathy gratefully received

 

Cheers!

 

 

 

 

You switch to Aux input by pressing the CD button on the left of the panel. Pressing this button cycles through the available options: CD (dash-mounted slot) / CD Auto-changer / Aux In....

 

At the risk of stating the obvious, you also need to have something plugged into the 3.5mm Aux socket (you don't mention this in your question).

 

I hope I've read this correctly.

ahh, you know what - while i tried pressing the CD button with nothing plugged in, and went through the menus with something plugged in, i don't think I ever tried the CD button again while I had something plugged in...

 

... yep, i've got it into 'aux in' mode now! (however i'm away for the weekend now and didn't bring my bluetooth dongle so I couldn't actually test playback - i just spoofed it with a pair of headphones - but it's a step further along :D)

 

Thanks!

Great! Hope that sorts it for you. Enjoy your new Octy 👍

The Stream MP3 which I have in my other Octavia is a later version of the Stream which was in my father's car. They are almost identical, and the only difference that I am aware of is that the newer version will play MP3 CDs in the dash mounted slot, though not in the boot mounted CD changer.

 

I have tried using the aux in a few times with a selection of phones and players, and it seems to lack volume compared to the CDs and radio.
