The socket is recessed into the front panel of the radio, so a standard jack plug body is too big to insert fully. A genuine Apple lead or similar small diameter plug will insert properly.

Maybe I'll give that a try too!
Tried 3 leads including an Apple one and only get music through the right hand side speakers 90% of the time - its has worked through all speakers but only once! New stereo added to the wishlist! |

Ah, that is the other problem with the standard LR unit - the socket fills up with crud and makes a poor connection. Mine was like that to start with, but jiggling the connector gently would give me stereo. Now I always leave the lead plugged into the fascia even if I remove the iPod, and it seems to be getting more reliable as time goes by. It might be possible to clean contacts by revolving the end of a matchstick or similar in the socket. Another advantage of leaving it plugged in is that it is possible to tuck the lead into the panel joins and run it down to the cubby area, thus reducing marginally the chance of an unexpected unplugging when changing gear. |

Mine is also crap - finally found a Belkin lead that works most of the time...

I had the same problem followed the advice on here and I just filed some of the plastic off the lead plug until it fitted flush with the front of the radio not had a problem since, great sound from an Iphone 4 DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,
I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy |
