Stereo/radio/audio Problems

So I recently had a bit of a stereo overhaul on my V35. My CD player was jammed, so I got the whole rear replaced. I have added in a band expander. And I have had a 3.5mm audio jack inserted so that I can plug my Android phone straight into it and listen to songs from it from my phone. The guy at the stereo place explained that to use it, I need to turn on a switch because it uses the FM frequency to transmit, and I have to override the radio. When I tested it at the stereo place, all was fine. But when I went out on the road on a drive to the country, the music from my phone began to fade out and begun transmitting loud static noise. I assume this corresponded to how a radio frequency would have responded. I am sincerely hoping that they have not added in this function without informing me that I can only plug in my phone in areas where there are very strong radio signals. The whole point of it was to have access to music no matter where I was.

Can anyone shed some light on this matter for me?

there is a proper AUX in on those that they are not aware of. given that alberts rang me on yours a few weeks back I *think* I know what they did with it. FM transmitter with a 3.5mm plug and a swtich.

not a lot you can do I am afraid.

didnt ask if it had navi or not. if it does then I have a solution for it. if not I will have to drag a schematic out and knock up a plug for you.

Haha that's so cool that you just traced that job back to me.

Yes it was Alberts, and you are correct, that's exactly what they did. I did mention that I had AUX because I originally wanted a USB port or 3.5mm jack, and they told me the USB was too complicated.

If by Navi, you mean a DVD navigational system, then yes my car has it, however not converted to an Australian version.

they rang me on two of them. there was another that had a dead AC board as well.

as for true AUX - I have a lead for it.

USB I can also do and that will also have a b'tooth connection on it for hands free and streaming.

I offered both to alberts as a solution.

if you wnat either shoot me a message.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
