So after wasting time looking for a way to use the AUX pin-outs on the factory Becker/Infinity 6806 head unit, the huge disappointment of FM Modulation (should have known...), I

• ditched the factory head unit
• bought a Schosche VW01B harness adapter
• built a couple new fuse panels (one switched and one unswitched)
• ran some power and ground wires
• plugged in my new head unit with mucho AUX options (mini plug, IP Bus, RCA pre-amp and sub outs, Bluetooth Music and Phone).

No more AUX input problems.

Here's the write-up

The info in crossfireforum was invaluable. Using the stock speakers and plan to add another amp and two rear speakers to get full advantage of the various spatial processors in the head unit.

The space under the floor swallowed a huge number of carefully bundled items (harman/kardon Drive+Play controller for the iPod, two new fuse panels, the wire bundle).

Anyway, in a while I will move the Drive+Play to the Jeep, remove the XM bolt-on, and use the Pioneer IP Bus to plug in XM and iPod interfaces (the head unit supports full function of both through the existing display)

For now, this is the final outcome:



Note the BAS/ESP warning light is lit... That little tidbit was buried in the owners manual... Turns out it comes on and stays on after the battery has been disconnected (or drained). To reset it, simply turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, right, left, right until it goes off. I was all ready for a trip to the dealer but luckily found the fix buried deep in the manual.

No, not going to get an integrated GPS - I upload and download way too much data, and take to the woods way too often to be limited by one of those!
