Hi everyone,

I'm having a problem with the AUX input on my RX8 and am hoping someone here can help out. I have the 6 disc Bose System and am using the PIE adapter (http://www.autosoundcentral.com/PIE_...alpalpmrca.htm)

I have had the system for around 8 months and it has worked well with the exception of this same problem happening for around 2 weeks 3-4 months ago. I am not sure what "fixed" the problem before, it just started working.

Here is the issue:

When I press the CD button to get into AUX mode the display shows "EX" and I can hear music through the system for around 30 seconds. Then everything goes silent. If I press the CD button again to get it to show "EX" music will continue to play for another 30 seconds before everything goes silent again. This has how I have been listening to external sources for the past week -- 30 seconds at a time.

I have tried multiple audio sources (iphone, galaxy s2, etc) and have the same problem with any device I connect to.

Like I mentioned earlier, I've had this issue before and it "magically" started working like normal. However, I would like to get to the bottom of this.

One difference I can tell is, when things are working as they should I do not see just the "EX" on the screen. I normally see "EX 1" . To me it seems like the head unit can't tell there is a signal going through or that anything is plugged so it shuts off the input after a predetermined amount of time.

Has anyone seen or experienced this issue before?

Thanks!

 

Hmmm strange. My money is on a faulty PIE adapter. You could try poking around the PIE harness with a multimeter. See if the signal out of the PIE adapter drops out after 30 seconds, or the signal stays solid but the headunit stops outputting audio.

 

Ok, I'll try that out this weekend. Thanks for the advice!

 

+1. i've had to have mine replaced, had it less than 3 months at that time. it would intermittantly get extremely fuzzy or not work at all. since replacement, not a hitch
