Well i purchased a KCA-121B Ai-net to RCA Adaptor. Now the fun starts, well, no, nothing really started.....

I hooked it up to the ai-net plug, other end into audio source (laptop for example), switch AUX on on the headunit and set it to AUX,
switch interupt on, turn mute off, in headunit settings
have bottom tab set to NORM not EQ/DIV
tried grounding pink/black interupt wire.

But all im getting is a little bit of static, no audio. Tried 2 other devices just incase it was the source, still nothing.

Where am i going wrong? :huh:
Big Paul
well i just tried it on my old mp3 player as a just incase check, can hear audio - slightly. but 90% is static sad.gif . any ideas?

Try selecting "stacker" via the source switch..

'AUX IN' mode: yes, switch to 'on'
'interupt': irrelevant; turns the pink/black wire to active/inactive
'mute': yes, leave 'off', but otherwise irrelevant
'NORM-EQ/DIV': yes, leave at 'NORM'
'pink/black' wire: leave disconnected (and ensure it doesn't short out/touch ground)

'CD changer' should not be an option amongst the 'source' selections; only 'tuner', 'aux in', and 'CD'.

if it doesn't work, then.....not sure. ensure the 'line output' from your auxillary source (laptop, etc) provides an adequately strong signal, and is not set to 'off' or down to minimum/too low.

Shiny- If its going into the HU via AiNet, it should just connect like a regular Ipod, i figured, which goes in via stacker mode.

i can't confirm as i haven't toyed with these accessories, but i expect when you switch the 'aux in' function 'on', it will then disable 'CD changer' as the input, and revert to an auxillary input. so 'CD changer' shouldn't come up amongst the 'source' selections, only: CD-tuner-auxillary.

BP: just double check the KCA is connect up the right way around in the Ai-NET socket. it shouldn't fit the 'wrong way around' but i don't know, you may have forced it on. tongue.gif so it must be orientated correctly, and only fits 'one way'.

if the probs persist, then i'd return to the store you bought it from for advice, or simply ring them.
