checked all the connections and source (iPod). Removed and reset the radio. Looks to be the adapter, which had been working great for a month or so. HU works fine on all channels and other sources.

Anybody had this happen? Anything I'm overlooking or to check before I return to Autotoys?

TIA

turn Everything off, unplug and replug in the adapter, if you have nothing it's dead. I had both go out on my Blitzsafe awhile back.

Sadly Blitzsafe takes FOREVER to do a swap out with a Dealer, so DEMAND that the dealer cross ship a new one, and not make you wait. It took Blitzsafe 6 WEEKS to send my replacement back to my dealer.

Thanks. I guess it's dead then.

Never even worked 100%. Hopefully I can endure the replacement process started at logjamelectronics.com. I have heard that Blitzsafe and PIE are the inferior products and soundgate is the best. They are coming out in the next 3 months with an adapter for cd->RCA in the trunk, but nothing yet. Good luck with Blitzsafe, I have mixed results with all of them.

The connectors are crap. I'm concerned about damaging my radio with all the pushing and tugging needed to get a solid connection. Not to mention the "try this, try that" install procedures.

But it sure sounded good hooked to my iPod (for a month anyway).

The story is that the need/desire to do anything more than connect non-OEM changers to OEM HUs is a relatively new demand, such that these adapters cannot be turned out fast enough. Since "most" of them WOULD pass a second testing, they are not retested before the maufacturer ships them to the suppliers. As a result the DOA/Failure rate is higher than most other audio technology in the market(but not significant enough to merit a redesign, respec or supplier change of components) in the adapater market. BOTTOM LINE- you WILL get one that provides years of service, it just may not be the first, second or THIRD one they replace. LoL. We're all in it together, but XM/Sirius/IPOD in the car is sooooo good, I'll deal with it as long as I can.
