Hello,

I see on my HU the adapter is playing MP3, but there's no sound. It's even not possible to switch to USB, only AUX and I-pod.

My USB stick is FAT16 and all MP3's are in 6 subfolders.

Did you try to switch as explained in the FAQ ?

Did you hear the voice announcements ?

Hi,

The problem is that there's no sound at all, no announcements also.

If I switch, the display shows AUXILAIRY or IPOD or when it's in USB mode, the name of the artist and tracktitle but not the letters USB. When I remove the USB stick it only shows AUXILAIRY or IPOD.

I tried several sticks, FAT 16 and 32, did a software update, checked the wiring, started the car but it made no sense at all.

It's the metal version ordered on the 31th of decembre 2009.

Did you check if audio part of the cable wired correctly ?
Try to disconnect the 6 pin cable and touch pins with fingers while having volume to max

Cables are wired correctly, they fit only one way.

touching the pins with fingers by maximum volume does not make any difference.

Tomorrow a friend with the same car and GROM box will test his device in my car and vice versa to see if it's a problem in the car or the device or the cable set.

And there was sound!! Very Happy
Earlier I'd build in a Parrot carkit were I needed an extra connector for
the businessradio to plug in the original connector, but I forgot to switch
the cd changer audio cable to the Parrot connector before build back in the radio Embarassed . All my fault! After I tried someone elses interface I knew I have to earch behind the radio.

@jbors, thanks for replying my messages
