IMPORTANT: Your vehicle must have a functioning factory satellite tuner, or an externally mounted factory CD changer (NOT an in-dash CD changer) or the rear seat entertainment system (RSE) for the X-3 to function. If you have the CD changer (and no satellite or RSE), the CD changer must be running with a CD playing in order for you to use and hear the auxiliary audio plugged into the X-3 system.

The X-3 Auxiliary Input Converter system allows the user to add up to three auxiliary input sources and have them connected directly between the factory CD changer or factory satellite radio tuner and most factory audio systems. Now you can connect your MP3 portable player, an XM radio, and an iPod, or any combination of three separate audio sources, all at the same time AND still use your OEM or aftermarket CD Changer or satellite radio! Now you can have it all with the PIE X-3 system.

The X-3 system interrupts the audio of the factory CD changer, factory satellite tuner or rear seat entertainment (RSE), switching between the three user-selectable RCA level auxiliary audio sources, and defaults back to the external factory device if desired.

Important: The X-3 system consists of two parts, the Selector Brain Module or X-3, and the vehicle-specific T-harness (see application list below), each T-Harness ordered separately. Be sure you include a vehicle-specific T-Harness in your order for the X-3 system.

With this device installed, you will have created three auxiliary audio inputs to your factory radio, which will allow you to plug in any three external audio source, like a portable MP3 player, satellite tuner, DVD player, or iPod, and play the audio from those external audio devices directly through your factory radio. These three inputs are left & right RCA-type connectors, shown in image at left. This is a direct connect device and NOT an FM Modulator. An FM modulator requires you to tune to an FM radio station in order to listen to the audio from the external audio device. While this is a direct connect interface, it is only an audio connection and does not allow you to control the external audio device that is connected to it.

The X-3 includes a selector brain module and wired remote selector display. The X-3 module has 3 pairs of RCA inputs for connecting three separate audio sources. A wired remote selector display can be hand-held or mounted anywhere convenient in the passenger compartment. The remote display has a single push-button switch that toggles between each of the 3 inputs and the factory device and supplies a visual prompt (AUX 1, AUX 2, AUX 3, CD) of the selected source. A 15ft extension cable, the X3-EXT/15, is available if extra cable length is needed to mount the X3 Source Indicator in your passenger compartment. The vehicle-specific T-harness connects the X-3 system into the vehicles audio system. T-harnesses are available for Acura, Audi, Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Toyota and VW vehicles.
