So I installed an AUX input by splicing into the factory XM transmitter. I bought the AUX input from Radio Shack and soldered speaker wire to the connections. Then, I used wire splicers to connect the wires from the AUX to the XM wires that connect to the head unit. Everything worked perfectly for about 8 months, but recently I've had a problem with the sound quality. It will (sometimes) work perfectly fine for about 10-20 minutes then the music gives out similar to headphones that aren't plugged in all the way. I've checked the wires, the connections, the 3.5mm cable (all 3 that I've used), but everything seems to be intact. I also have a switch to control the power to an 800w amp. It's mainly there so I can control when my amp/sub are turned and off so it doesn't drain my battery. Not sure how or why it would cause interference (especially after not causing any problems for 8 months). It's only the AUX that's having problems; FM/AM, CD, and XM still function properly.
Any ideas?
PS Schwarttzy made a harness that works in a similar fashion. http://www.hummer4x4offroad.com/forum/showthread.php?3775-H3-Quick-N-Simple-Auxiliary-In-35-00
