Ive got an iPod shuffle that i want to use in the car. My headunit came with a lead that allows me to run an iPod that way, so i connected it all up, and it works, but only out of the 2 right speakers.

Ive been through all the headunit settings and they are all ok, so im beginning to think its because the iPod is only meant for powering 2 headphone speakers..

So, if i was to get a lead with a jack on one end, to plug into the iPod, and then solder the other end onto the speaker outputs from the back of the headunit, would that work??

Cheers :D

Not sure how bothered you'll be about this but weren't those radio transmitters banned in the UK?
