Yes, go get the PIE. If you are electrically gifted, install it to the back of your head unit. If not, pay someone...you are more than likely stateside, go to Cartoys or something like that, and they will get you going...

I've heard that those PIE adaptors have caused some electrical problems when using it with the shaker system. Does anyone know if these problems were resolved? I would love to be able to hook up my iPod but don't want a bunch of electrical problems either.

RE: Mp 3 Hookup ?
There's a few different adapters available for IPOD players. I emailed two companies that make them, and asked if they had ZUNE adapters and found no luck. The companies were in another thread about a week ago, about hooking up an IPOD.
I'm doing it the cheesy way until I can find an adapter. I bought the FM transmitter. It wasn't working correctly though, a lot of interference. I bought a male-to-male wire (both ends look like the end of headphones), plugged it into the AUX IN port on the transmitter and the headphone port on the ZUNE. It doesn't charge when listening to it in the car this way, but it plays the music clearly.

I'd decided that I was going to replace the stock radio from the start anyway, so I didn't want to put any extra money into the upgraded radio.

I dunno about you guys, but mine's really soft when I have input from the AUX IN on my '07. Whether I have my XM Radio, or an iPod, or my PSP, or any other device connected, it sounds really muffled. I'd almost say it was the cable, but I've tried several different cables, and it's not great. Then again, it may be because I have the cheapo stock radio, and not the skipper 500/1000.
