How can you fix the aux in a car?
I’m preparing to leave for a cross-country road trip in a few days. The aux port in my car stopped working. Is there a way I can easily fix the aux in my car?

Oh wow, that sounds like quite the trip. I hope you’re getting excited! To fix the aux in your car, you should:
- Check to make sure the input device, like your phone, is working properly. You may want to try the aux with a different input device, like your computer, if possible.
- Try using a different aux cable.
- Use a can of compressed air to clean out the aux port.
- Use a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to clean out the aux port.
If none of the above work, you should visit a mechanic or audio shop to have the problem fixed before leaving on your trip. Repairing or replacing the aux port can be complicated, so it’s best handled by a trained professional.
Additionally, be sure to review your
car insurance
policy before leaving to make sure you have all the coverages you may need like towing and labor coverage
.Finally, if you want to ensure you’re not overpaying for coverage, you should use
