I drive an '06 Cooper S with Nav and hooked up a Peripheral Electronics iPod accessory to play music through my iPhone. (See link below) I'm having the same issue as everyone else where the AUX setting suddenly disappears mid song. I've done lots of research on this forum and see that the Ground Loop Isolator seems to be the common fix. However, the accessory connects to my iPhone through the docking connection at the bottom, not the headphone jack.

So, here's the issue... all of the GLI's that I can find online are either RCA or 1/8" headphone jacks. If you check the link I posted below, the accessory that Peripheral makes uses an S-video looking plug and the other end uses pins...

Any suggestions on a GLI I might not know about? Or has anyone bought the same accessory and experienced the same issue? Thanks for any help in advance!

The product you linked plugs into the CD changer connection (like the OEM iPod adapter). It seems to me that you shouldn't be using the aux input at all with this product. The ground loop isolator solution is for the aux input only. Do you mean that the radio is switching out of CD changer mode?

 

Sorry, yes, you are correct. It is switching out of the CD Changer mode. Thx!

 

Many iPod adapters (OEM, DICE, etc) use the CD changer connection but I don't remember anybody mentioning a problem like this before. The first thing I'd check is to make sure that all of the connectors are secure and making good contact.
