Audio Link Problems - anyone else

I installed an Audio Link for my iPod a few months ago. It's works OK. Occasionally I have a recurring problem: I turn on the head unit and lose the CD and EX modes. The solution is to turn everything off, unplug the cable that runs from the Audio Link box to the iPod at the Audio Link box. Sart it all back up, and it jiggy again...for while.

This is all well an good, but the wiring harness is less than robust and I think it will eventually fail from all the plugging and unplugging.

ANyone else having this problem?

The RPM people I bought my Audio Link from have been very helpful and replaced the first unit which had a bad plug and then that one because of a firmware issue.

I recommend that if you have a problem you should give them a call because they can probably help you right away.

I had this problem with my PIE adapter when I first got it. The problem was that the cable was not fully inserted into the back of the HU. It felt like it was in place but it wasn't all the way down. Those cables when new are very tight and the pins may not want to go in the first time. Some jiggling and forcing and I got it in place and I haven't had a problem since.

I still get power to the Ipod, so dose that still mean I might just have a loose connection.

check the connector as well to make sure any individual pins didn't get pushed out.
