I've had an Alpine to CD changer adapter to RCA cable on my manufacturer stereo for 9 months now, and the audio has faded in and out at random. Sometimes it goes to mono, and twice in a row now was so faint I could barely hear it with the iPod at full volume. At this point, I've given up on it. I'm getting an Aux input on front JVC stereo installed monday with the hope it works better than a behind the dash adapter which can easily get loose or lots of condensation moisture on the connector.
