Ipod & Aux cable question???

Hey, all.

Wondering if any of you have run into a similar problem:

I had an Ipod 30G video and plugged that guy into the Aux port the day I got my Fit and it worked great, good sound and everything, never had a problem.

Well, a smashed out driver's window later and I was one Ipod less.

Just bought an 80G Classic and plugged that one in with the same 1/8 cable I had used with my other pod but all I get now is a crappy left channel only mono feed. I can pull the cable out slightly fromt he headphone port so it goes to both channels but it also gives off a horrible high pitch feedback and doesn't quite sound right.

Perhaps a new cable? The headphones work just fine in the pod...

They probably damaged the cable when they ganked your ipod. hopefully they didn't mess up the aux port

It's gotta be the aux cable.
I got mine from Best Buy for like $15 and it works great.
Except my 80gig classic got stolen to.

No, it was still plugged in and the Pod was disconnected.

I know, it happened in my work parking lot during the day. Some random must have walked through and smashed and grabbed.

does it not set off the alarm to have your window smashed?

or I guess people just don't really care now-a-days when they hear alarms going off, just think it's annoying I suppose?

this is what i think. cables are usually of cheap quality. swap that out and you should be good to go.

btw. sorry to hear about the theft

I got a 1 footer from radio shack only $3. Works great.

You probably just need a new cable.
