I read a few comments on what to do about this on line. One person on line wrote and said he purchased this product and and hook up the ipod via this compact adaptor. I orginally hook up my Sirius radio and playing via the FM radio here in the Bay Area,, well the sound kept fading in and out. I figured should work for the Sirius too. It worked like like a charm. I attempted to hook this through my AUX input but still did not like the idea that I could not adjust the volume of the music. I can adjust my volume via the radio knob while playing the Sirius music through the aux input with this adaptor.
This item works great. It enabled me to hook my sat radio or ipod directly into my pioneer headset.
I can now connect anything to my car sterio. An ipod, laptop, basically anything that takes a 3.5mm connector. Its worked great for me. You ofcourse need the 3.5mm to AV connector.
I'd say this happened after about two years. I'd say it's more of a poor design issue than a wear-and-tear issue.
Considering the high price tag I would've expected it to last as long as my stereo. I don't know what's in the box, but something inside went bad.
I bought this for my Pioneer stereo so I could hook up my MP3 player. Try one of the cheaper alternatives.
It was a pain in the butt to install, but that's mostly because of my car. It sounded really good to begin with, but eventually it started to sound really quiet and it went mono on me.
If it lasts at least two years then you got a better deal.
And so it is with the Pioneer DEH-P77DH CD/AM/FM car unit. I wanted to add XM to my system but didn't want to use the wireless FM transmitter. It pays to buy good audio equipment. And without a cassette player, the cassette adapter was not an option. So I bought this input adapter, plugged it into the back of my unit, and together with a y-adapter cable can use my system to play XM radio OR any other signal that can be plugged in. While the lesser systems become obsolete quickly, the better gear just keeps going and going. Painless to install, and once the AUX option is turned on in the head unit, you're good to go.
