Aux jack question

[Ramsey88]

So I plugged my phone up to the Aux jack on my factory radio and noticed the sound was only coming from the right side speakers. Messed with all the settings on both my phone and the truck's radio and nothing helped. Even tried 2 different cords (one cheap and one expensive) with no difference. Is this normal or is something wrong with my aux port? Cd and radio both work fine....

Internal AUX Jack connection. (Not the best to begin with).
That connection always needs an exact match to work right. And even then.

The same cords work with my phone and our mp3 player on the radio in the house. So should I try yet another cord or just give up lol

It's a bad connection to the wire itself just like a set of headphones only half way plugged in

[Ramsey88]

So maybe the radio's jack is messed up?

[charged392]

Yeah

They're no better in 4th Gens either, mine hates Aux cables with the 90 deg bend plug, only likes its straight line cables

This is one of those Japanese vs. Chinese things...

Push the cable plug into the aux jack. Then gently, so very gently, pull the cable plug out just a mere fraction. A smidgen is all it will take. The left side "should"(?) kick in along with the right side.

Um yup! That is how mine works...

I'm gonna have to try that! I made sure everything was firmly plugged in but it didn't help.

Are you sure you have stereo capable cables?

Mono cables will only give you sound out of one side where stereo cable should work from both sides. Stereo cable will have three connections on the connector and Mono will only have two.
