lekmedm Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hi all. I was hoping that those who know more detail about car audio and electronics could help me out with a head-scratcher. I have the Leptronix aux in board installed for over a year now and love it! I wanted to modify my cable setup so that I would have an aux in plug in the console. Long story short, my Sirius sat radio won't play when plugged in to the aux in board directly and by itself. This is what I mean: aux in <--- iPod = plays great! aux in <--- Minidisc player = plays great! aux in <--- sat radio = NO GO!!! aux in <--- sat radio + other audio source = sat radio plays great!!! Why won't the sat radio play when it is plugged in directly by itself? It will only play when on a splitter like this: http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww11/lekmedm/Subie/Subieauxinconnections.jpg Is the sat radio not outputting enough power on its own? I cranked up its internal volume level to max but only got some noisy, static music that was really quiet. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighaus90 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 do you have the control switch installed? if you do just turn it to the aux mode whenever your using your sat radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lekmedm Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Yes, the switch is installed. Neither the auto position nor the full-time aux in position make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lekmedm Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 C'mon... I know a bunch of audio gurus read these threads! No one with any experience can give up any ideas...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFloyd Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 did you try to plug the sat radio power somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lekmedm Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 did you try to plug the sat radio power somewhere else? The sat radio power is coming from a fuse tap under the dash. The radio's power is hard-wired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phamilton Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 This is what I'm wanting to do. Any luck figuring this out? Could the aux in be split behind the stereo? Subscribe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
