Aux Input - Flutter Noise

I have noticed that lately my Aux imput is making a constant clicking noise.. To the point it is unuseable. Kind of like a flutter.

Anyone else ever have this problem?

This is kind of like the sound:

Bingo! Same noise here. I thought it was possibly my connection into the AUX but I chnaged acbles twice. It seems as though if the connection is off even a little, it will result in that noise. Try "jiggling" the cable connection into the AUX until it resolves. I'm sure there is a better solution but until I get my SA to look at it, it will do.
BTW, great post with the sound file. It helped alot.

If it's a whinning or buzzing noise, then you might want to try a filter. This is discussed in the W203forums. Members have used this and it stopped the problem.......available at Radio Shack.

Yeah thanks for the info on the adapter/filter. The sound is present with nothing plugged in.

I am taking it in for service on Monday and they will take a look at it.

What did service say???

I'm getting ready to install XM in my car, using the aux. port. Curious to hear what the solution to your issues were. Thanks.

They replaced the piece that goes from the glove box to the head unit and the problem still exists. I haven't had time to go back in..
