PIE GM9-AUX Monsoon Adaptor Troubles
PIE GM9-AUX Monsoon Adaptor Troubles For my 1995 Trans Am, I bought a year 2000 monsoon head unit and a PIE GM9-AUX adaptor so I can play my Ipod. The head unit seems to work perfectly but when I press "CD/PLAY" for the Auxilliary Input, the display reads "CD 1 TRACK 1" (Just like the instructions say I should see). I hook up the Ipod using an RCA adaptor and I don't hear anything. I turned the volume up and down on the Ipod and nothing happens. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm hoping you guys can help....
Played with it a little more this morning. I get "E33" after about 30 seconds when I'm waiting to hear from the Aux In.

If this is the adapter I'm thinking of you NEED to have a CD changer hooked up to make it work. I don't have a CD changer in my car so this adapter wouldn't do me any good without spending even more money for a CD changer.

The GM9-AUX can work with or without the factory CD Changer. It has a pass-though, but I dont have the factory CD-Changer anyway so I cant confirm that the pass-through works.
I've run into lack-of-sound problems with mine twice.
(both times the headunit lost power and "forgot" how to talk to the GM9-AUX)
Try this:
* Disconect the GM9-AUX.
* Disconect the heaunit from the car.
* Wait a couple minutes.
* If the headunit has been locked with the TheftLoc feature, then you will have to bypass it.
* Reconnect the headunit the way its supposed to be and test it (including CD features).
* Turn everything off and reconnect the GM9-AUX and connect the aux device (in this case an IPOD) to it.
* Turn on the headunit and IPOD.
* Push the "CD/Play" button to switch to the IPOD
* Wait a minute or two. It should start working.
Thanks man!
I actually got it to work over the weekend (by accident). I was testing some old head units so I can sell them on Ebay. When I hooked up the new stuff again, it started working. I was just about to return the adaptor to the guy I bought it from. But it looks like I'm good to go now. I finally got what I wanted. Now if only I could get a day without rain, snow, or ice, I could test it out on the road!
