Locate the Auxiliary input jack beside the front power accessory.
Connect your device with an extension cable. Don’t use an auto line leveler – only an extension cable will work.
Press the AUX button on the radio. You’ll need to cycle through the options until you find “LINE,” “LINE IN,” or “SYNC LINE IN.”

For most of our car stereos, the AUX is activated by pushing the `Source` button until `AUX` appears on the display and activating it by pushing down the cursor key.
Using the AUX cable, connect one end to your car and the other end to your phone`s headphone jack or headphone adapter cable. Press the AUX button on your car stereo.
Locate the USB port. It should be under the Auxiliary jack to the left of the power accessory plug in your car`s center console.

How do I use the audio system with a navigation system?
ANSWER : If you have an Accord with an in-dash navigation system, there’s good news. Most of your audio system functionality still comes from the standard buttons on the interface. However, there are some things you can only do by using the “interface dial”. This is the large knob on the lower center portion of your system. It combines three different elements:
The enter button
The rotating knob
The selector direction pad (up, down, left and right)
The selector pad is what lets you access the menu system, and scroll through lists, menus and other items.
To access a menu item, use the arrows or knob to highlight it, and then press enter.
Our family car is a 1986 Mercedes and someone modified it with an audio jack. How do I use that to listen to music with an aux?
ANSWER : Hi there. It really depends on how this accessory was hooked up originally as to whether or not you can listen with headphones. However, without knowing exactly how they hooked this system up, or what accessory line they used, it’s hard to provide you with some good ideas on how to use the system. It would probably be best to have a professional mobile mechanic from our team come to your location and complete a car radio system inspection, so they can isolate the source of the problem and provide you with some assistance.
Pop Sound When Jacking Up Car
ANSWER : At first glance, I wouldn’t assume you damage a CV joint during a tire change, however, if the tire blew out and was driven on for a while, that may have caused some damage. The clunking sound may have been caused by a body support mount that collapsed (although this is very rare) or the jack itself when you were lowering it. This is common with generic factory spare tire jacks.
The driver seat may be sitting low because of the different diameter of the spare tire on the passenger side, causing it to lean a bit. The best way to put your mind as ease is to contact one of our local mechanics to complete a visual inspection of where the noise took place and test drive the car for you. This way they can verify that nothing is damaged before you get back behind the wheel.
Why is my air system blowing out hot air in spurts and why is the temperature gauge nearing hot while in use?
ANSWER : This can be caused for a variety of reasons such as a malfunctioning thermostat, a radiator not flowing properly, a faulty coolant temp sensor or AC refrigerant not properly being supplied to the AC compressor. Your car’s AC system puts a heavy strain on your car’s engine when it runs as it requires a lot of power to run. When the AC compressor comes on it puts additional strain on the motor that may be already struggling to stay cool as a result of any of the issues named above. I would recommend having an expert from YourMechanic come to your home to diagnose and repair.
How do you use the auxiliary input jack on the radio?
ANSWER : Your car’s audio system allows you to listen to AM and FM radio, play CDs, and even satellite radio. However, you can also connect an external device with the auxiliary cable. This is the ideal way to connect an external CD player, or another device that doesn’t have USB connectivity. Here’s what you need to know:
You’ll find the auxiliary jack under the center stack (below the HVAC controls).
You can connect any portable music player that uses headphones with a 3.5 mm jack.
Leave the ignition off.
Make sure the radio is off.
Connect your device to the extension cable.
Connect the cable to the auxiliary jack.
Turn on the ignition.
Turn on the radio.
Press the AUX button.
Choose Line, Line In or SYNC Line In from the menu.
Control the music through your device (you will need to adjust the volume on your device and the volume on the audio system to get the right sound).
Tip
Make sure your device is fully charged (or has fresh batteries).
How do I use the auxiliary jack?
ANSWER : The auxiliary jack allows you to play music through the sound system from an external device such as an iPhone or an MP3 player. Using the auxiliary jack takes only a few steps:
1. Open the AUX cover in the center console.
2. Connect one end of a standard 1/8-inch stereo cable to the auxiliary jack.
3. Connect the other end of the cable into the auxiliary jack of your device (the same jack where you plug in your headphones).
When a device is connected through the auxiliary jack, the audio system will automatically play from AUX mode.
2010 Ford Fusion Sport. Went to start and it clicked and refused. After I got a message saying check braking system. What is wrong
ANSWER : Yes, this is not an unusual issue and may stem from something as simple as a faulty (discharged) battery. Prior to performing diagnostics the battery should be load tested. With a battery that passes a load test and the engine immobilizer (security) system off, if the starter motor does not operate at that point, there are only two possibilities: 1) either there is no power to the starter motor/solenoid, or an excessive voltage drop, hence the entire starter circuit would have to be diagnosed; or 2) there is power but the starter/solenoid itself is bad and that includes intermittent operation which does happen. If you desire that a specialist from YourMechanic determine which of these is the issue, and get it resolved right at your location on a mobile basis (no need to travel anywhere), please request a no start diagnostic. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic as we are always here to help you.
