Does anyone know why, when I turn my car on the stereo makes a loud "pop" sound? Sort of like when you flick an aux cord when it is plugged in.

Same here, when I connect my AUX cord, to my iPhone. I can hear 3 faint pops. Nothing to bad thou...

If it is hooked up to a system. The problem could be that the power cord and aux cable are tan to close tohether. The static from the amp turning on runs through the cable and gives a pop or thump sound through the sub.

Your aux cable might be ripped from the inside, get a new one and see how and if that helps any.

Mine, too, made a loud pop every time I turned it on. However, it was working otherwise until it lost connection to the subwoofer and started making the clicking (or popping) noise every second or so. None of my ideas for addressing the problem worked except for returning the unit to Amazon, which I am doing.

the same thing has been happening to me. I think it may have something to do with the slight spark and pop that occured when I attempted to connect my speaker wire while the unit was on.

If the audio device is turned on with volume it will pop. Best to connect with out volume or power turned on

It has been a while since I helped my son install this stereo - but as I remember the yellow wire it always "hot" and the red wire is only hot when ignition is turned on (refer to installation instructions) - hope this helps or at least points you in the right direction

Sorry to be so long, but while the problem seemed to clear up, it suddenly developed the hum again. I have a Technics receiver with a phono output, so I have the turntable set to Phone Off. This worked until today, when it suddenly developed a hum, and when I tried to reconnect the wires the white wire produced a pronounced hum and the red wire produced an explosive pop. I played it this afternoon without incident, and have played it for hundreds of hours since last summer, but today the hum came back with a vengeance.

I am wondering the same thing, I don't think it is possible to stop it. i will be sending it back because of this unless someone has a solution. My family is ready to kill me, the stereo is always on and every time I walk upstairs or back, or drive away or come back home my phone automatically connects and it makes the loud noise through the stereo.

Hi Alexander,Please check content that you're playing. Please make sure that it is supported by this stereo. Have the wirings checked by a professional installer for further assistance. Thanks. >Joffrey

The speakers on it are not loud at all. In fact, I ended up giving this one away and getting a new one with better speakers. So if you didn't hook it into your cars speaker system, you probably couldn't hear it.

I had the same issue. I believe it is a function that is not included in the head unit. I just had to get used to it.

If you are using the RCA style stereo inputs i.e. the standard red and white cables they will always pop when unplugging or plugging them in. This is due to the design of the connection and you can't fix this. It is good practice to always unplug or turn off your amplifier or speakers whenever making connections.

Yes...I'm hearing a "beeping" electronic sound too. I actually returned my frist Flip due to software errors and also this noise problem. I just got a new one in the mail and it's making the noise too. Not as loud as the other one, but it's still there....and very annoying! If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please reply. Thanks!!!!

Sounds like your sat receiver is generating the digital pop....If you have a dolby digital receiver make sure the sat receiver is set to dolby digital "on" either way you should run optical cable out of dvdo so sound will be in sync.......hope this helps

I leave mine in my car but always turn it off. I have noticed that when left on and my radio off, it does not play automatically. I still have to switch off and back on in order to play. It may just be a compatibility issue with my radio.

I wish I knew how to explain it but yeah its normal, I get that too. That sound is like a cracking-poping sound I'm pretty sure it's the driver in the antenna. Just like your computer makes the same sounds the antenna does it too.

I thought I might have that problem too because I replaced a really old Alpine. Mine went plug to plug no problem. Our local Ziebart store does stereo stuff if I need that...you might try Best Buy or Radio Shack to get something to come together.
