*need Help*
I have recently decided to install a XM radio. I bought the radio and a PIE adapter. When it came the PIE was the wrong one. When i got back on the companies web site it said that i needed a 20 pin not a 16 pin and then gave me a part number, so i ordered a second one. When it came it said that it would not work with a CD-6 changer and thats what i have. Now i have gone through a couple of your posts and found another web site that said that i need a 16 pin not a 20. So i am really confused a would like to know if any of you know the exact part number of the one i need because i am starting to get fustrated.
I have a 05 lariat screw with a CD-6 and i do have the AUX button on the face of the unit

I have this posted in the 04-06 forum, but it hasn't gotten much response. Maybe someone here can chime in? This quote was in an ebay ad for the P.I.E. Has anyone come across this problem?
"NOTE: THERE IS A FIRMWARE ISSUE FOR THE 2005-UP MUSTANG AND 2005-UP FORD 500. THE ISSUE REQUIRES YOU TO LEAVE THE FACTORY 16 PIN DATA CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED FROM THE FRD04-AUX THIS WILL MAKE THE UNIT WORK FINE. TWO DOWNFALLS TO THIS ARE YOU WILL LOSE SPEED SENSITIVE VOLUME CONTROL AND THE RADIO WILL BE IN DIM MODE. PIE HAS ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING THIS ISSUE OUTUPDATE: THESE ARE THE NEWER FRD04-AUX AND HAVE THE NEW IC CHIP INSTALLED FOR THE PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE ABOVE VEHICLES!!!!!! THE ABOVE PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT EXSIST WITH THESE INTERFACES!!!UPDATE: PLEASE SPECIFY WHICH VEHICLE YOU ARE USING THIS INTERFACE WITH. SOME F-SERIES RADIOS STILL REQUIRE THE OLDER SOFTWARE TO WORK CORRECTLY. WE WILL SHIP YOU THE OLDER OR NEWER SOFTWARE DEPENDING ON YOUR VEHICLE!!!!"
