Default Has anyone installed the Phatbox that is using a Bipes type Ipod adapter?

I have the adapter for my Sirius unit, it may be a Bipes adapter but it was installed by the previous owner. It has a switch that I flip depending on if I want to listen to the CD changer or the Sirius. It's also the type that will cut out the music for a brief second or two on the Sirius unit when the CD changer is changing tracks or CD's.
So if I get a Phatbox will this mess with the adapter? Does the Phatbox still send the same type of signal or is there anything else I need to worry about?
Thanks,
Trent

Default I do have the adapter, but I have never installed it... The Phatbox should work exactly the same as

the CD, though. As far as the radio, etc knows, the Phatbox IS a CD changer. I have just been too busy to put Bipes' adapter in, that I got almost a year ago...

Jeff, do you still get the dead air between songs when listening thru the BA?

Default The switched version lets you keep the CD player and the PhatNoise, and select which one you use.

You can use that in conjunction with the input adapter and have select from:

AM (HU)
FM (HU)
Cassette (HU)
CD
PhatNoise
Aux Input (XM, Sirius, Ipod, etc...)
