Ipod only playing on left channel

[LostPuma]

recently my F90bt/ipod have only been working on the left channel, but the radio/sirius/sd all work on both channels.

 

i was told by the place that installed my unit that it is a software problem, not a hardware problem, and therefore needed to be sent back to pioneer. can anyone confirm this? if so, will updating to 3.0 fix the problem?

 

THANKS!

It's most likely to be a problem with the cable that plugs into the iPOD. If you search this forum, you'll find that it's not an uncommon issue. The software suggestion is nonsense.

I was having the same problem intermittently....I swapped the pioneer cable for an apple cable from apple store, and have not had the problem since...

 

I even tried a new cable that Pioneer sent first, still had problem

When I had this problem, it wasn't the iPod cable. The problem was actually the multi-connector with the RCA's that the iPod cable plugged into. One of the pins in that connector wasn't seated fully. I forget which one. But, I had posted about it here at the time. Also, a number of others had the same thing happen to them.
