I tried connecting an mp3 player to the 3.5mm socket but I hardly get any sound out of the left hand speakers, I'm guessing theres a dodgy connection in the head unit? I might try the rear aux input next.

I used this cable

Mine used to do this occasionally. Just needs a wiggle.

The front aux sockets are notoriously crap and at the mercy of the particularly fragile connector behind the fascia (same culprit for the LCD colour issues). You can try reseating your fascia to see if it solves the issue, it just pulls away, give it a tug from just above the ash tray to remove it.

If that doesn't work there are alternative inputs, Google "vxr8 rear aux ipod cable" wink
