and then he had to correctly wire the sirius to get that to work.
strike one, was it the problem mentioned before or was it a complete failure on his part.
but if he substituted something in the instructions with this switch your going to eventually have issues with the bypass.
I do agree that adding unnecessary steps to the bypass that are not needed will add more thing that can go wrong and there isn't any reason that you would ever need to unbypass the system not too mention the extra part.
doesn't sound like anyone else is using a switch)
why would we, its not necessary, and too many people have problems getting the bypass to work properly all ready. strike two
But anyway you said that he connected the iPod through the headphone output. If you have the Pioneer cable, everything should be connected through that cable only.
The ipod just needed the extra wire from the pioneer cable to the headphone jack in the ipod (duh)
it shouldn't have anything plugged into the headphone jack of the ipod, the pioneer cable has a dock connector on one end and a USB and four pin 3.5mm jack on the other (both need to be connected to work, USB = control, and 3.5mm = audio AND video) there is sound that will come out of the head phone jack and using a standard aux cable will function but it is not coming from a straight audio signal (because the headphone jack runs through a volume adjuster with will affect the sound quality and not in a good way) not to mention if he used a aux cable, then there is no video being carried through a regular aux cable(there are 4pin aux cables, but the pin location has to be right, and i doubt he is that lucky) strike three.
He's worked on the car twice and its still not right, get him the fuck out of there, or he fixes it till he gets it right since you paid him twice now
take it back to him and demand he follow the directions that he should have in the first place.
you shouldn't be compensating him for any driving, he should be compensating you for your time for him to do the install three times)
my customers wouldn't accept that from me, and you shouldn't accept that from him. saving money on a boot leg installer, is never the worth the troubles it brings, always make sure your installer is qualified and knows about the stuff he is installing
