Step 4. Adjust the volume of the music player to the minimum

Turn on the car stereo and tune in to a radio station that is clearly received. Set the volume of your car to a normal listening level. Now switch to the music player, start a song and adjust the volume of the music player to the same level as the radio. This will minimize distortion, and make the sound more suitable for listening.

Advice

  • Cars built before 2004 usually do not have the auxiliary jack input. If your car doesn't have an aux jack input or cassette player adapter, you can use an FM transmitter or purchase an adapter that plugs into the I / O connector on the back of the radio.
  • Change songs at traffic lights, not while driving.
  • Most car manufacturers place the auxiliary input on the front of the stereo, but some may also be behind (never below) the car stereo. It is very unlikely that it will be in the glove compartment, or elsewhere.
  • Turn off the EQ on your music player.
  • Purchase a USB car power adapter to charge the music player on the go. This will charge not only the music player, but any device that can be charged using the computer, can be charged in the car!
