Dumb fiber optic question

W211 E320 CDI with HK

I have an after market unit, with a fiber optic convertor on a factory HK setup. Radio starting sounding like **** lately so I pull the unit out to see what was up. The fiber optic cable, (2 lines) is only lighting up on one side.


Does it sound like a problem with the

Cable/amp?

Or converter/radio?

Are both sides of the fiber optic cable supposed to be flashing?

Id rather address the radio/converter for obvious reasons than the cable/amp.

Thoughts?

From what I know aftermarket units don't have the necessary power output, so they use an amplifier... hu > amp > speakers..
