Button on Kenwood radio not working

I have a Kenwood KTS-MP400MR (the kenwood that a lot of boats have) and the button (CD/CH) that switches it to receive the aux input has stopped working. The radio is not very old, but not under warranty anymore. I hate to replace the whole stereo to get the one button to work. I am wondering if anyone else has run into this problem, or if there is a workaround to somehow otherwise select the aux input. Thanks much.

Maybe find an RF remote for it on eBay if it's compatible with one?

The hardwired remote should have a button to perfomr the same function. If not, those HU's are really cheap...under $100.

Did you try the reset button?

mine is having the exact same problem. i have to unplug the accessory plug from the back. then it works, but says disc changer. as soon as you turn the power off it malfunctions again. ugh

i dont think it is the stereo, but the aux input device. why would both yours and mine die within a few weeks of each other? mine died after my 13 y/o son pushed a bunch of buttons on the front i believe, trying to do something. i've unplugged the power cords, hit the reset. nothing fixes it permanently.

Whoops...missed some posts on here.

I tried the reset button. Also tried to unplug the accessory plug and switch the input with no luck.

I have found that the button does work (well it beeps now), but doesn't change the input.

John I agree it may be something with the input device, but I haven't gotten mine to work at all. Such a strange issue!

I was able to get it working like John did above, but only once.

I have this same problem. Just experienced it the last two times I've been out. The source/tuner button isn't working to allow me to switch to AUX to play my music threw my phone, very annoying.
