Ok guys so here's my situation. I have an 08 TL-S and was wondering if the pie would work with the Nav traffic connection, since you plug the pie x3 into the xm portion of the Nav. I know with the isimple it does not work for this so I was thinking it would be the same thing for the pie x3 and would not work on my car because of the nav traffic. Does anyone know if it will work or have a pie x3 installed with nav traffic??

I think the Dice is the only one, but don't hold me to it...

Dice is for Ipod though, isn't it?

csmeance

yes, but it has 1 aux input

ah man, I'm in the same situation... I guess i can temporarily use an RCA to 3.5mm in the AUX jack in the center armrest of the car for now, but that's a jacked up setup. And for some reason, currently when i plug my ipod in there, i gotta crank it up big time when i listen from the AUX input.

yea same here, I'm just worried about having alot of feedback when the car is moving.

PhilB81

you mean alternator whine? Or some other type of feedback?

yea not sure if its alternator whine or not, but when I accelerate my speakers have a whining noise. I emailed pie 2 days ago and no responce!

PhilB81

oh, you have that buzzing with the PIE device? or with the RCA to the AUX acura jack in the center armrest?

to see if it's alternator, put it in Park or Neutral and slowly revv the engine, if it buzzes then too, it's alternator.

yea with the rca to the aux jack

PhilB81

ah ok, so you contacted PIE about the NavTraffic, not the alternator buzzing sound.

I'm kinda bummed to hear that you get alternator buzzing with the RCA to AUX. Did you try to buy a ground loop insulator?

yea i contacted them about the nav traffic. I bought an insulated connector that might get ride of it but I'm waiting till it gets in to try it.

PhilB81

which one did you get? when is it arriving?

an rca to 3.5mm jack, but its got no cable so I'm hoping it will lessen if not get ride of the whine. It should be here on Friday and installed over the weekend

PhilB81

post back if it fixes the buzzing sound. I'm probably gonna buy the stuff and got he RCA to 3.5mm + ground loop insulator route.
