Apologies if the answer can be found elsewhere on the forum, but I had a good look around and didn't find anything. We have the skoda fabia estate greenline. 

 

Our AUX Cable snapped off in the AUX port and is stuck. We can't get it out. 

 

We've since tried an mdi to AUX Cable but it doesn't allow us to stream music on our phones. The radio says it is initialising mdi, but no music comes through afterwards. We've been told it might work if we were playing stored audio files, but we don't listen to music that way anymore. 

 

I have a couple of questions. 

 

1) Has anyone got any ideas as to how to get the snapped AUX out of the port? Our garage had no idea. 

 

2) is there another means of playing music through the radio/ music system? We've seen that you can get mdi to Bluetooth cables, but are wary of getting one in case our car doesn't have the capability (the user guide says it does though, but is very light on detail) or that we need stored files on our phones like the problem with the mdi to aux cable. 

 

 

Any help would be very much appreciated! And please do suggest other suggestions that I may be totally unaware of!

By Aux, is it a 3.5mm audio jack? Like for headphones? My first thought was glue, something like:

 

 

Just obviously be careful and use a proper super glue like loctite, not that Uhu multi purpose crap.

Tried something similar with a cotton bud and cheap superglue to no success. Will have a go with the byro and better glue.

 

Cheers

Little pricey though

Recently discovered the Swing stereo can play data CDs like a normal cd. Screen allows different folders to be selected. I would say return to stored music.

...Funny, though how they say how to remove in under 60 secs but then you have to wait 5 mins for the glue to set. Take care not to cause overspill as you may just end up glueing even more inside the hole!

Worse case scenario, auto-electrician/audio specialist dismantles stereo, opens it up, de-solders the jack port and re-solders in a new one!

Unless you mean the aux down by the centre console, then, removal and re-fitting might actually be easier.
