hunthomer66 Posted July 1, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2009 When I plug A cable into the audio output on the gps and the other end to the aux port beside the cassett deck and put it on aux and gps to the music(built in mp3) nothing comes out the speakers ? Whats wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Posted July 1, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 1, 2009 May be stating the obvious but is the volume turned up on the GPS for the MP3. There is a seperate volume for the MP3 player on the Garmin. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyc Posted July 1, 2009 Share #3 Posted July 1, 2009 I had the same issue. You need to go to radio shack and get a amp to plug in to gps and then out to I pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midrsv Posted July 1, 2009 Share #4 Posted July 1, 2009 Mine works fine without an amp. As Midnight mentioned check the MP3 volume settings. You may have a cable problem somewhere. Can you test something else plugged into the aux port? Maybe an Ipod. DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunthomer66 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted July 1, 2009 Volume for mp3 is at 100% and when I just plug my mp3 player in aux it works just fine so I know cord is good .

SaltyDawg Posted July 1, 2009 Share #8 Posted July 1, 2009 Ok, so the MP3 has no audio out. Can you hear the voice prompts for directions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunthomer66 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share #10 Posted July 1, 2009 Ok have not taken trip to some where yet to know if I'm getting prompts from gps telling me what to do.Not sure what you mean about if it's set on FM or audio output? How do I check that? Yes it is set to speaker and not the head set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyDawg Posted July 1, 2009 Share #14 Posted July 1, 2009 Ok have not taken trip to some where yet to know if I'm getting prompts from gps telling me what to do.Not sure what you mean about if it's set on FM or audio output? How do I check that? Yes it is set to speaker and not the head set. Glad to hear you got it fixed. It's the simple things that can be so darn hard to fix. At least you were honest enough to admit it. I'm betting most of us wouldn't and would have said it was FM (Freaking Magic) BTW the Zumo 550 doesn't have a FM output, it's output is the cord you plugged into the aux connector. Some GPS's and XM/Sirius radios have built in FM transmitters built in to allow you to broadcast over a free FM channel on your radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunthomer66 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share #15 Posted July 1, 2009 Ok help me fix the noise you get through the speaker when you excelerate, I belive somebody on another question had the same problem don't remember what the fix was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyRich Posted July 1, 2009 Share #16 Posted July 1, 2009 Have you got your IC turned up. Mine is picking up noise from the plug wires. I need to reroute the wires. Turning your IC all the way down may help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyDawg Posted July 1, 2009 Share #17 Posted July 1, 2009 Does it do it just through the Zumo? If so try reseating it. If that fixes it, put some dielectric grease on the pins. Mine would make popping/static sound some times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunthomer66 Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share #18 Posted July 8, 2009 Buddy you are the man:bowdown:the cable works great except for one minor problem I'm not sure how to fix ?
