aux input not working? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hologram · 07-07-2010, 10:16 AM

hey guys, so i just got my 07 camry se v6 and was so excited and hooked my ipod into the aux input and go to push disc/aux and it wont go to aux?? so i took it to the dealership and they said oh its prob a bad cable so i bought a new 3.5 cable and tried it and still nothing. it plays cds fine. they tried saying that i might need some adapter from toyota directly to hook it up but i find this hard to believe...can anyone help out? could i have a bad aux input jack? i tried searching but came up empty handed.

tl;dr aux input does not work. got new cable. still nothing. ?

i know on my 07 4cyl my aux is able to swicth as soon as the cord is plug into the aux input, i use my iphone to listen to music and even if my phone isnt plug up and the aux cord is i am still able to switch to aux input, sounds to me like you radio isnt noticeing that the aux port has a cord pluged in.. i would go back to the dealer and fight that. did you buy it at the dealer? warrenty?

I see three options:

1) try a different I-Pod.
2) try a different car with your setup.
3) try to have the dealer make your aux input jack work with their equipment......

I have no problems and no hum either......

yeah i tried my sis ipod and still wont pick up. tried my phone as well and 2 different cords. and still nothing. but yeah in my sis civic. u can go to aux even when the cord is plugged in and nothing is plugged into the cord. so i do belive it is the input. and nothing on my end.

so i guess ill be calling the dealership again and see what they can do about it.

It should go to AUX whether the Ipod is on, off, working or not.

correct...however if the port is not working the signal at times will not send the signal to the stereo...like its not there.

That's why they call them"stealership"

.I remember one time my fogs wasn't working and took it to the "stealership" to get it looked at.I knew about the fuse box inside the engine bay but i didn't know there was one inside the cabin under the steering wheel or else i would have done it myself.Around a buck or two for the fuse and $100 for labor for installing a fuse

.Needless to say i was pissed that i didn't do my homework enough.

I am having the same issue, exactly as you described it. CD plays. Radio plays. Won't recognize AUX. One day, it flickered on and off for a few minutes, but now it is "done." OK - so now I know I have to go to the dealership. Thanks a lot!

One quick question - how long did it take? How much did it cost? I bought my car new - still under 45K.
