2007 VE Calais Blaupunkt head unit

[Damon Clarke]

Just bought a VE Calais. The sound from the speakers when listening to the radio is good but when I plug my iPhone into the Aux port to play music the sound is deplorable. I've tried so many different combinations of settings and balance but just can't get it right. I've also tried a few different Aux cords. Has anyone found the magic setup and able to post it here for me?

mine is even worse, sometimes the left channel works, sometimes the right channel... smack the side of the console where the radio sits and both work for a bit. also sometimes the screen turns off, again, smack the centre console and it works.

I've taken to using MP3 CD's, they sound good.

also read up on disabling centre speaker, and inverting polarity on the subwoofers.

Yeah, I tried the aux input using my android phone on the factory head unit and the sound is below average (ie: crap)...no bass and washed out mid and highs.
It could be the auxiliary input pre-amp circuit that is the problem...solution being to fit a better quality after market head unit. The factory sound system in my VE is cheap low quality. I would have replaced it already if I had the spare cash.

My factory unit refuses to play MP3 CD's.....I think it is supposed too but never has, it just comes up error on the display.

I've had intermittent issues with the connector of the front display console panel. Did you know you can remove this front panel... re-seating this can sometimes fix various intermittent issues as there is a multi pin connector between it and the main dash assembly.

** on my SV6 there's a small spring loaded finger latch up behind the bottom section where the storage tray is...if you feel around up there you can feel it with your fingers, press this before you reef it.

Also make sure the headphones volume on your device is set to the max.

Wierd, in my VE SV6 and R8 both aux inputs in the front sound good to me

I plug my ipod into the aux port and listen to music and it sounds good. Never had a problem. Sounds just as good as a cd.
