[QUOTE="happe626, post: 7114986, member: 551977"] When trying to use AUX in only one side works correct? Is it left or right side? When NOT using AUX, i.e Radio station / CD player, both channel (L+R) work? How old is the Headunit and cable? Have you tried to use that 3.5mm cord with any other devices? Home Theather or anything with AUX input. Over time, the 3.5mm male heads tend to stretch and break the wire contacts. (Thus wiggling sometimes bring them back together.) For a test, you can open Windows Sound Recorder (under Program > Accessories.) and plug that into the MIC input so your ipod will output to the mic input.. This will test if the cord is bad. You can also wiggle it around to see if sound cuts off. If the cord is bad then you can try to find a replacement cord at .99 cents store or ~$3 bucks [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000SE6IV8/?tag=caraudiocom-20"]Amazon.com: Cables Unlimited AUD-1100-06 6-Feet 3.5MM Male to Male Stereo Cable: Electronics[/URL] or better quality ~ $8 bucks [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00026HZ1E/?tag=caraudiocom-20"]Amazon.com: Belkin PureAV AV20601-06 6-Foot Mini-Stereo Audio Cable: Electronics[/URL] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If the cord isn't bad then you may have a extremely rare case that the input jack lost its contact. ******************* scratch my suggestion.. since you already tried it..
