Anyone else here using an Iphone 5 adapter with the ipod kit? For some reason for me the supplied ipod cable and iphone 5 adapter don't like to play well together. Sometimes it charges the iphone and sometimes it doesn't and sometimes when it's not charging it makes a light popping noise. Anyone else?

Hi Beyond,

 

I just installed my ipod pro kit today. I've got similar issues. I have audio from the kit playing underneath AM and FM radio as well. But I DO have audio working from the silent CD (I don't know if it also plays under other CD's as I don't have any others in the changer). Unlike you I think my audio levels are kind of low. I have to crank up the volume pretty high and have to be careful switching to the radio. I'm thinking of adding an audio booster like the PAC Turbo X. Anyone else using a booster?

 

Below is a post that Jazzy put up a while ago ('09?) that might solve your issues. I tried the "burn your own silent CD" and still hear audio under AM and FM.

 

"There are so many things that can go wrong taking apart a radio - it's a small miracle that everyone doesn't run into a problem somewhere. That said - I'm doing my best and most people complete the install without issue. The most common causes of an unresponsive CD player after install are:

 

1) Ribbon cable is not fully inserted, or inserted backwards. This should be a dead giveaway as soon as you plug the radio harness in - if you don't hear the CD changer start up and count all the CD's - it's not getting power & so there's no connection.

 

2) If the CD changer does start up and it tries to load a CD, but it doesn't work - 100% of the time so far, it's caused by a long screw being inserted where a short screw was...I believe the 4 on the face of the cd changer (with the control circuit board removed) that can cause this problem for Legacy owners and there is a screw on the side of the impreza radio that can cause a similar issue.

 

3) If it loads the CD and everything seems fine, but you're not hearing any audio - it could be a bad Silent CD. I had several corrupted CD's go out a few weeks ago unknown to me, but luckily this one is also easy to fix - I wrote a walkthru for creating a new silent CD on this site: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost....&postcount=381

 

If you can hear the aux-in sound with another music CD playing or with the radio on, then you've definitely got a bad Silent CD."
