Aux Input Jack ?

The past few days, the music from my iPhone has been cutting in and out. I have the monster cable wire and just hook it into my aux input in the center console. When plugging it into the jack, it actually seems very loose. Not the cable,the input jack itself. If you move the cable around, the sound will come back on. Has anyone ever had any issues with the aux input jack ?Thanks for the info

Could it be the wire itself? My input jack was replaced a week ago and it actually turned out to be the wire itself. It has to be in a very specific line to play music all around, instead of either left side, right side or nothing at all.

Do you have a part number, or a place to buy this cable? I bought a cable at Radio Shack, and my Ipod only will play out the left side speakers only. Drives me nuts.

The cable I use came with a Scion xD and works perfectly, if you don't account for the absolute position it requires to play all around. When I find that position, I close the console lid and as long as I don't tug on it, the sound is fine. It really sounds like more work than it is.

Just steal the green wire off the back of your computer or if you dont want to loose sound take the pink mic wire, then just hook it up to the head phone jack not as fancy as the ones that plug into the bottom of the i pod but work

What year do you have? Where is the AUX input?

If you remove the centre console (two phillips screws under the console lid, then lift from the rear, making sure the parking brake is fully up), you can access the other side of the aux jack and tighten it up.

...or do what did and install the Brandmotion iPod adapter...took me 3 hours - 8 minutes to disassemble the centre-console and front fascia and 2 and a 1/2 hours to figure out that I needed to leave the fascia screwed-in in order to remove the very fiddly heater cable sockets from the rear of the fascia.
Checked it all out and now I can access all my songs and playlists through the Shaker head-unit, which is a god-send...

If you do this, be sure to realise that there is a lot less room behind the Shaker unit than Brandmotion's online instructions indicate - it's a bit of a squeeze getting all the new cabling to fit in the recess behind the head-unit.
