I decided to take out the changer and I installed the DICE controller for my iPod.
Now I have no audio out of the left speakers when running the DICE. The tape and AM/FM still are fine.
Where should I check next? I thought maybe cable is bad or the amp is going bad - but I'm confused because it only affects the CD changer input.
By the way this is with Navigation and NO DSP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Followup:
I reinstalled the CD changer to eliminate DICE problems. The CD audio is fine until after about 5 to 15 minutes then the left channel gets very distorted.
I figured it might be an amplifier problem so I replaced the amp. Same problem exists.
So now I suspect the head unit. Am I on the right track? Would the head unit cause left channel audio problems out of the CD changer input only. The AM/FM and tape work fine.
