Audio System Produces Hum In Aux Mode
 

I took delivery of a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with the X Package
today. The AM/FM/CD radio produces a humming sound from the speakers
when I place it in the AUX mode. This occurs both when I plug my iPod
into the AUX input and when nothing is plugged into the AUX input. Has
anyone else experienced this problem?

Thank you.

If I were to guess I would say the radio was missing the snuffer
circuit for the radio side. Ran into this with the Pioneer head
unit. Try switching to CD then back to AUX.

A hum is a bad ground. The connection for it may be bad in the radio
at the 1/8" stereo jack. Tell them to replace it.
