07 V8 Vantage new owner, speaker problem.

[Jack-bb0ht]

Hi, I'm new to the Vantage seen. I have 07 Vantage in black that I picked up a few weeks back. I can't stop smiling every time I see it or drive it. As I expected with Aston ownership I have a few niggles, but as a whole there is very little to complain about. I seem to have a common problem where the drivers door speaker is really quiet. I have checked the bluetooth switcher, and it has been upgraded to the modified one made by a gentleman on here. So I assume that is not the problem, anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Here is a picture of my pride and joy. Any help with the speaker is appreciated.

I assume you've gone into the system settings to ensure the balance hasn't been adjusted in favour of the other side?

[V8Vantage07]

Yeah i've been through those. I've had to ballance it to the left just to make the radio audible without being turned up loud. Is the guy who made the modified switcher still on here? I wonder if he's had any fail.

Not had one fail yet, but happy to take a look. Where in the world are you?

Hi James,

Great, i'll be in contact. Certainly after lots of web searches, the only time anyone has suffered the problem it was the old switcher. So i'm at a loose end.

I had same problem with my (no bluetooth) car about a year ago.

I resolved it by turning the radio on and then twisting the volume button up to maximum very quickly. This seemed to 'trip' something in the drivers side speaker and it returned to it's normal volume again afterwards. Not had it occur again since.

Worth a try, thanks for that. To be honest since owning it i rarely listen to the radio. It's normally off and listening to the exhaust note 😁
