Every so often, when playing audio from a usb stick, it only plays out the right side with no sound coming from the left. If I switch to radio (or cd) it plays both left and right...but if I go back to usb source it only plays right side. I take the usb stick out and replace it...same thing, right side audio only. Sometimes this continues for 20 or 30 minutes with attempting to change sources before I slow down, stop, and turn off the vehicle for 30 seconds...restart...and get full audio back. As I said, this only happens once in awhile....every 6 months or so. It usually fixes itself with a restart after 20 or 30 minutes....but it is annoying. Anyone else have this happen?? Any ideas??

Happened to me, sprayed some electronic contact cleaner in the USB port, haven't had it happen for a few months now...
