SAAB 2005 Arc Stereo Aux Input Using Casette Fail

[percy]

I had followed the link > http://photo.platonoff.com/auto/2006...ine_Input/?all ..... I was able to get to Image10 until I realized that the cassette board as per link is not the one that my radio has, 2005 Arc stereo. It has a smaller board that has small black switches. Can anybody help me figure out this board assembly? I would greatly appreciate it.

I was able to hook up the Auxiliary input. Nice.

Now, there is is this speaker popping sound everytime my android phone Pandora app changes music.

What could be the problem and how do I fix this?

Thanks.

Glad to hear you were able to figure it out. How is the sound quality?

Popping sounds can usually be eliminated by using a Ground Loop Isolator, even though I am not familiar with this type of aux-in connection. I used this 3.5mm GLI from PAC before and it worked great. It is inexpensive so may be worth a try.

Thank you Frank. I will surely try this fix.
I will post what will be the result soon.

I'll be off for the next 2 weeks for work and I will work on it when I get back.

Cheers.
