gm9-aux adapter installed..need help I bought the pie gm9-aux i believe its called. Its the one for if you do not have a cd changer. I installed it, I first i didn't have sound, I went to my sirus plug and play and pushed the plug and the soudn came on, but its only coming through my driver side speakers and their is a high pitched noise too that is present even when the radio is off. hwne I switch back to fm modulation, it works fine, plays through all speakers and no annoying sound. any suggestions?

No problems here with my GM9-AUX.
The only thing that I noticed was that it took 30 seconds for the sound to start after it was first connected it. I've had to disconnent and reconnect it a few times due to headunit replacements (unrelated issues) and it exhibited the same delay each time. Other than that initial delay, its worked fine.

Do you have a Sirus S50,
If you do, I had this problem, the Inline plug was not going in all the way,
Had to use a thinner plug because the Antenna & power cord got in the way, causing the inline plug to not go in. Thus only getting sound on the drivers side only and a high pitched distortion sound.
If this is not it, check the GM9 unit making sure the plugs are all in all the way.
Hope this helps

Try plugging in some computer speakers (or even headphones) to see if the problem is with the plug or the jack in the radio. I had to have an XACT Sirius radio replaced because the contacts in the jack wouldn't touch the tip of the plug and I only had right side audio.

Interesting Thread. I've been having a similar problem with mine as Michael02Hawk describes. Sometimes it just wont start playing, but I come back and try it 2 hours later, and everything is fine. Sometimes it works right away. Kinda Frustrating considering how much better it sounds through the GM9 Unit over an FM Transmitter. Today, it the sound came through after I hit "Up" on the Seek button on the HU. Not sure if that coincidence, or if it was direct. Does anyone have any more input on how or why this unit is so damn Random??

I don't know which is exactly to blame, the stock headunit or PIE GM9-AUX and I can't prove either. (I'm leaning towards the headunit though.)
I spent roughly $150 for wires and adapters to connect my Pioneer XM receiver into my car for a stock look. If I was doing it again, I'd probably put that money towards an aftermarket headunit.
If you are wondering what I spent $150 on:
