Our take on the P.I.E Aux Input Adapter For Pioneer

by Charlie Pastorfield

The Precision Interface Electronics PIO/P-RCA auxiliary input adapter is designed for use with Pioneer IP Series products. The adapter serves two functions:

converts the output (IP-BUS OUT) connection of the Pioneer GEX-FM903XM XM-Satellite tuner into stereo RCA outputs, avoiding the use of an FM modulator, gaining superior frequency response, and allowing connection to any receiver with auxiliary inputs;
converts the CD changer port of a Pioneer receiver to RCA input, allowing a variety of program sources to be added to the Pioneer receiver, including satellite radio tuner, DVD player, VCR/VCP, PlayStation™, or portable MiniDisc, MP3, or CD. The direct connection (without FM modulation) results in optimum sound quality.

Important Note: When the PIO/P-RCA adapter has been connected to the Pioneer head unit, a CD changer cannot be used. 90-day warranty.

Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.

Features

Application: The P.I.E. PIO/P-RCA adapter can convert the IP-Bus input on Pioneer car receivers with external device controls to an auxiliary input. This allows you to input line-level audio signals from such items as portable CD, Minidisc or MP3 players, VCRs, satellite radio receivers, or video games. Note: If you use this adapter as an auxiliary input adapter, you cannot connect a Pioneer CD changer or other IP-Bus device at the same time. If you desire to connect a changer, in addition to the auxiliary source, you will need item 130CDRB20 instead of this adapter.

Connectors: The adapter has a right-angle IP-Bus connector on one end and gold plated left and right RCA jacks on the other.

Great Add-On For Older Radio

Written By Josh&Maria, Savannah, GA on Sunday, November 16, 2008

What a great suprise to stumble upon this as I was looking for some XM gear for my father...added this onto my Pioneer DEH-8500MP head unit with no problems. The hardest part was trying to figure out how to turn on the auxillary input. To do that, turn off the head unit and hold down the function button and a menu should come up and you can scroll through and turn on the auxillary input. Took me about 30 minutes to find this on the net as it was not in my Pioneer manuals.
