500 Having AUX problem

[Ozbozi]

Hi everyone. Iv'e put my friend an AUX cable to her fiat. The music start working when we press the Windows like button on the wheel. It gets us to "VOICE" on the radio's screen and eveything works. However, every few seconds/minutes, time vary, it just sends us back to the previous mode (CD or AM/FM, depends what was on before we moved to VOICE mode to listen to aux music.)
It's pretty annoying to click the button every few moments, and could't find any help through google, hope I'll find it here.
Thanks in advance

To get Aux mode, you need to press the source button on the steering wheel til it displays Aux on the stereo. Then it will play normally.

If it does not have Aux on the source list, then it is likely it's not enabled, especially if it didn't have an AUX-IN to start with, as Blue&Me uses the same input on the back of the stereo

The car didn't come with an AUX. We bought it separately. It works on that Windows function, instead of the USB I think.The thing is it does work, but after few moments the source change to FM or CD for some reason

As mentioned, when blue&me activates (for USB or for voice command), it shares the aux-in for the stereo as the B&M is an external module and not built-in to the stereo.

What you can try, is making a silent mp3 and put it on a USB key. This will play silence through Media Player, but crucially will allow the AUX-IN to stay active to allow you to play whatever you want from your new Aux cord.
