Stereo Whine / Interference

[FamiliaGTRAe]

Just Interested because of my ongoing problem with Ford and their apparent difficulty and or refusal to fix this.

I was told today that there is only ONE other car apart from mine in all of Australia and the exports to NZ'd and South Africa.

Im pretty sure there are more than two.

If so please answer and post here.

I need to have a "sensible" chat to Ford.

Mine has a whine through the stereo when using the aux input.

Sweet, and as you aren't from Perth, that would probably indicate to me that once again I am being lied to!

Has your problem been reported to a Ford Dealer?

I have the same problem but it is intermittent I was just going to fix a condenser to the battery as im assuming that the whine is the same is in older vehicles and comes from the elec system in particular the alternator.

I have the same problem. Very noticable on AUX. I mentioned this to them but, typical of Ford service departments....We have never heard it before? Your car is the first one we know of??

I get a noise when im using my car kit, not too bad so ive never said anything to the dealer

THanks for your replies so far,

Obviously I am going to speak to Ford tomorrow and say take a look at this Thread......

Now you telll me that you've only got Two in the entire country.

This simply reinforces my belief that Ford no longer cares what happens to the customer once you've signed the document to purchase the car.

you know what they say.. Knowledge is power. With this forum, alot of things would've gone under anybody's radar

Me personally, I do have a slight wine, but only noticable if volume is low (about 2-4) above that don't notice any whine.

Can say that again. My car is going into the panel beater tomorrow to fix two big scratches they put on my car while it was in for a 15 000km/h service. They are fixing it but have already admitted they are going to try and get them cut out if they can to save them the $$$ from having to respray the panels. Dirty....a brand fu(ken new car...........

Hi Cameron

We have the whine in both of our cars, it's worst when the audio system is turned off - but it's just audible.

ie you need a decent bit of road to hear it...

But it is annoying considering how much the car co$t - especially when you consider the extra few hundred dollars for the premium sound option !
