Peter,

Quick question - you installed a Pioneer CD-Changer, did you use an adapter for the BMW headunit? Something from PIE or Blitzsafe or whoever? If you did use such an adapter, which one was it and does it control the changer as they say it would?

I have PIE BMW-PC/PIOX that I connected to an IP-Bus changer - I get the sound on the speakers but also get a clicking noise, that can not be correlated to anything specific, like the engine RPMs or whatever. Also, I can not control the CDs using the headunit, only the CD changer's remote control. The changer seems to operate normal, so I suspect the adapter from PIE either mulfunctioning or outright defective.

when I press the 1-6 button, I get the sound "dipping' as if it was changing something, but then I get the same song continued.

I have "analog" DSP, 16:9 MK3 NAV, TV Tuner, car is built 11/01

Thank you,
