Static while playing music from usb

24LT1guy · 03-30-2024, 01:28 PM

So as the title says i am getting static only when I play my music of my usb drive. Its fine with f.m. radio and was fine with Sirius. Not sure if its my USB drive or the car. Does anyone else have this issue? I did search and seen nothing on this topic. Mine in the base 7" one.

I've used two different USB drives in the 7½ years I've owned my car and never had an issue with static. Have you recently changed drives?

Standard troubleshooting is in order. Bring the USB back to your PC and play the same songs that have static in your car. Rule the tracks out first. Play the same USB in your wifes car, friends car .....
try another USB, try another version of the .mp3, maybe .flac or whatever.

I have several thousand .mp3's and have never heard this. good luck.

Seems it must've just an oddity. Drove it the next day and its been fine since.

I got back in my car after an appointment about a month ago and when my MP3 USB resumed playback, the song was staticky (even though the song had been playing normally before). I started thinking I was going to be making a trip to the dealership service Department, but it ended up also clearing up on its own. No issue with the song or USB, just an unusual glitch! I've only had it happen once in 15K miles...

I've had that before, it was a bad cable connected from my phone to usb. Or are you talking about a usb memory stick?
