It should switch from Aux to PIE. Push the Aux button again though until it says CRYSTAL LINE. It sounds much better on that setting.

I agree with the sound....I don't have XM, but that is the way Sirius is supposed to sound.

 

If I push the AUX button again, it comes with no DVD/CD or something similar to that (in short, that might not be EXACTLY what it says). I've pushed several times and have no option on the 'CRYSTAL LINE'. I do, however, see the headphones on the display.

Again, did I goof somewhere here?

Mine only reads "Aux" or "no DVD/CD", must have not gotten the CRYSTAL LINE option

 

I think this "crystal-line" stuff is coming from the CD-6 radios. I could be wrong, but I think this is the case.

Rock and TX -

You need to do this.

Taken from another post - Search on PIE Problem to find original

1.Turn the Radio/Car off.
2.Leave the PIE box and everything else connected to the radio.
3.Dissconnect the wires from the factory harness that plug into the Pie harness <--LINK
4. Turn On the Radio
5. Wait 10 sec.
6. Push Aux Button
7. DVD/CD + (little headphones) appear then suddenly it says PIE.
8. While Radio is ON. Plug in the plug that you removed in step 3.
9. wait.. wait... wait... (3 to 5 seconds) Turn Radio/Car off..
10. Turn back on and Enjoy. If there is a problem with the radio recognizing then repeat steps or call customer service for yourself.

 

^ Why do they need to do that? Their stuff works. Mine says 'Aux' as well, and does the same thing RP's does. The PIE unit works just fine. Me thinks BigTRQ is correct about the 6disc vs Audiophile setups.

 

Dlewis... this is a different issue. The people who see AUX rather than PIE still are able to use thier boxes for Aux Input. We just don't have the same display/options that the others do. The people who need to use your fix don't have any functionality from the box at all and are mainly Mustang users with the shaker systems (IIRC). I still haven't seen a reason as to why some people see the AUX/NO DVD/CD rather than PIE/CRYSTAL LINE. I will see if I can email PIE and find out.

I'm having an issue with mine now. It only says AUX and has headphone picture.

Problem is that on occasion after listen to the radio or CD the HU will not switch from any source to AUX. It says NO AUX INPUT on display.

So far the only way around this is to shut of truck, open door, restart truck and immediately hit the AUX button.

Sorry if I caused confusion. I was going to try the fix I mentioned to see if it would correct but I will hold off for now.

 

Just thought of this - Wonder if it is a 05 vs. 04 issue.

We 04 owners do not have MP3 labeled Head units. Maybe this is the difference?

 

Another press of the AUX button changes my display from PIE to CRYSTL-LINE. Mine's an 05 with single CD and cassette player - no audiophile.

 

Early 2005 with 6-disc Audiophile... no MP3... I haven't had any issues switching between sources however, I only got to play with the unit for about 20 miles before coming back to my home away from home here in Missouri (work related)... I won't be back in the saddle again for another 2 or 3 weeks minimum...

I emailed LogJam and received this response:

If anyone gets this one figured out, please post back... I can't really tinker with my XM / PIE setup from Missouri when my truck is in Kentucky.

I have an 05 mustang and an 05 F150... anyway with this crystal-line thing in both it works like this..

I have the audiophile, 6 changer in the F150 by the way.

press the aux button once it says DVD/AUX then Says AUX then says PIE
if I press it again is says DVD/AUX then says Crystal-Line

it works the same in the mustang with the shaker 500.

but the pie box in the mustang has its own set of "issues"

 

My '04 Audiophile 6 disk CD changer only says AUX or no CD/DVD. I don't get the crystal line. I have not tried to fix this yet.

BTW anybody know where switched power can be found in the dash...I still need to hook up my red wire out of my Blitsafe.

Thanks

 

Anyone figure anything out on the AUX vs. Crystal Line thingamajig?

 

I still think it's a delay of some sort. I can't tell a whole lot of difference on mine. My initial thought was maybe a delay option like home theaters for the larger cab trucks or for different radio models. Other than that I have no clue, mine sounds better on PIE.
