If he's got the 2003XE HU (like me) it's gotta be the 8-pin I would think....

ElectoKen or anyone else who had done the 8-pin din mod -

I'm using the 8-pin din mod as specified by ElectoKen and have noticed 2 things:

1.Volume on my Sirus Sportser, even with it's gain all the way up, is about 5 "notches" lower than the volume of the FM Radio/CD.

2. When I turn off the switch I installed (to deactivate the Aux In, thus reverting back to FM/CD), it turns the HU off and I have to turn the HU back on. Power to the specified pin is spliced from my cigarrete lighter power.

Is this normal? Do other people who have done this find the same thing. Neither of the above is that big of a deal, I'm just curious...
I did this mod and came to the same conclusions... it's def. quieter with my Ipod than a cd or radio (but not so much that I'll mess with putting a small amp in) and likewise, it just turns off when done with the Aux. Small price to pay for a cheap line level in though smile

Also, I got my plug from Fry's electronics online(less than a buck I think)... soldering was required though, it's just the plug, no wires.
