Audio Problem CD Changer and DICE

[joegoodrich]

On my 2000 X5 4.4... I recently began to have audio problems with the CD changer. The left channel would sound very distorted like a blown speaker after about 5 minutes of listening. Sounds fine in the first few minutes.

The tape player and AM/FM tuner sound fine.

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!!!!
