All I want is a simple good quality 3.5 aux cable to plug my phone into my car HU and noticed 2-4 and 8 core cables. Is the a difference and what do you suggest?
Thanks
Thanks
I'm not sure what you mean by 2-4 or 8 core. All 3.5mm TRS cables will have 3 conductors, most likely of stranded copper wire.

don't worry about my car system. It maybe not hifi but the cables are all very good quality and are well installed. My stuff may not be professional but it is all very good quality.
thank you very much. Everything is clear now. The cable I currently have is not a cheap on but still a good one without over doing it like you said. so I'll stay with what I have.
On a different note I'm thinking if I should change my HU for something like the pioneer AVH-x270BT so it'll work with my phone and have easy navigation on my usb key.....
Time will tell on this one.
thanks
Too many other factors to consider there, but that's one of the better reasons for it, plus some standard size aftermarket receivers are starting to get FLAC compatibility if that's important to you. Personally 320kbps on a system with time alignment DSP is a lot better because, again, that actually addresses a core issue in a car's acoustic environment, and with today's integration processors (I traded in my old IVA-D310 for a PXE-H660 for my next car) there's less work putting it in. Of course, if your car still uses standard size receivers (of late the only new ones I've seen are the FR-S/GT86 and a few cheap mini cars), then at least it's just a matter of pulling it out, redoing the wiring (if you're switching brands - that's my main headache going from Alpine to Pioneer or vice versa), then pushing the new one in.
In any case you might want to look into Alpines. They've taken the processors out of their receivers but they have the PXA-H100 processor now that works with their Ai-Net connection (digital audio and interface) that makes it a lot less of a PITA to put in a separate processor. Plus it's cheap at $150 and they have media receivers designed for USB drives and compressed audio; I haven't been checking recently but the latest models might even have FLAC/ALAC compatibility already, which isn't a problem if you're using a portable HDD or large thumb drive anyway.
Can you tell me how much of a sound (mp3) difference there is between bluetooth (a2dp), 3.5mm jack from phone and straight from the usb key on the HU. I always heard that bluetooth audio is not really good.
